  9. Hi Tommy
    I feel your pain and I am so sorry for your loss. This is a very difficult time and safe to say you and your mum have changed the face of dementia and the lives of families forever. It is not in vain. Your mum taught you well Tommy cause she taught you about 'true love' and that has been a blessing in itself.
    Take care forever your friend Lorna xx God Bless you Joan xx
