From Maureen-Rose Brown

"After nearly 2 years, I still have moments when I forget she's actually gone.

Alzheimers came and took my Mum Iris. before she died on October 15th.
Mum died many times over 15 years as stealthily it took her away even from herself, when she grappled with trying to remember her own name .

Still Mum never lost her beautiful dimpled smile and her love for us and knowing the love her Saviour.

So on October 6th to bring something positive out Mum's going, I am doing a memory walk in London. Go to.my fund raising page by the link and donate to Alzheimers Society to support help to live with the diease and provide care to the Carers who live alongside their loved ones in the awful journey with Alzheimers."
