My mother lost her battle with Alzheimers on Saturday morning. I went to visit her on Saturday morning, and five minutes after I left, they put her to bed and she drew her last breath. It was sudden but it quite a blessing.
Thank you so much for the outpouring of support. My family and I truly appreciate everything.
The Rosary will be at 6:30 on Thursday, August 16th at St. Pius X Catholic Church. Mass will be held Friday at 10 am, also at St Pius.
Cards can be sent to

Memory Walk 2007
This fall, The Alzheimer's Association will be hosting Memory Walks all over the country - in an effort to raise money to find a cure for Alzheimer's while raising awareness of this devasting disease. Currently over 5 million Americans have Alzheimer''s disease. Unless we find a way to change the course, 16 million Americans could have Alzheimer’s by 2050.
Austin will hold their Memory Walk on September 29, 2007 starting at Austin High School and walking Town Lake. After the walk, we will gather at Hula Hut to celebrate our efforts and just have a good time.
I am going to raise $1,000 for our team, in hopes that our team raises $5,000. We can do it. It seems big now but once you start brainstorming in your email list, talking to friends and collegues - it gets simpler by the day.
If you would like to donate, please visit.

This is the perfect opportunity to get involved in the fight to find a cure. You can join our Austin team or find one in your own city at www.alz.org .
