He didn't do it a ll at once, but by tiny pieces every day. At first we hardly noticed and s ometimes even smiled. "Oh, he's just getting older," we told ourselves, o ur long suit was denial. The haunted look for what once was - the searchin g, asking, pacing - the thief had all the cards in hand, with time again st Dad racing.Dad tried his best with what he had and Lord knows we did to o, but the thief just took control and stole each bit of him we knew. B ut now that hard battle's over, and Dad's resting in his final Home. God m ade the thief give back to us the Father we had known. "We Love You and Will Miss You." Your Wife, Children and Grandchildren.Leo's family wishes to extend a special thank you to the staff at Rennes H ealth Center for all the care shown to him during his stay. Helen would al so like to thank family, friends and Alzheimer's groups for all their supp ort.
