Thank you so much for your time and volunteering of assisting to every patient suffering nation wide. God bless you always
all types of Alzheimer should be researched more and more, Brother-in-law had Lewis Body, he was one of 12 children,his father and 5 other siblings had or have some type of dementia, would have thought that family would have been researched to some extent.
Seth spoke so well! Thank you for all your support!
