Agreed. My entire political view on the world were developed in the Reagan era. I viewed Reagan and the alternative and could not believe anyone supported no less than 90% of the views of Reagan. (I come from a long line of Southern Democrats/Moderates).

President Reagan, for what it's worth, I'll pass to you the most honorable gesture my father passed to me:

As sad as this is, one must understand the debilitating nature of Alzhiemers. Death is a relief from a non-life. I have personal experience with this. During my mother-in-law's funeral, the pastor said the most beautiful thing that gave us such peace. "Imagine Mary waking up on the shores of heaven, suddenly able to know all things around her."

It truly is the "long good-bye" and the family realizes such relief that their loved one is no longer suffering and will be whole again with our Precious Lord.
