    Carolyn, Steven and family, I am very sorry for the loss of your father. The loss of a patent is very difficult, and the loss of a parent from Alzheimer’s disease is a long goodbye. Please spend this time together remembering your father as the man he was before his illness. My prayers are with you all.
