Jerry, I was so saddened to read in the Washngton Post of Lila's passing. From my experience with Marshall, I know that Parkinson's is a very difficult disease for both patient and caregiver. Be thankful, however , for the wonderful memories that you both shared. They will bring you joy for many years .
Please let me know if you plan to be in the Washington area. Would love to get together .
Regards
Carol Kaplan
