This comes many years later...I am so very sorry for your loss. I am about to start reading the books written by Mr. Debaggio. My husband is 57 years old and was diagnosed with earl onset Alzheimer's about 3 years ago. This has been the toughest battle of my life. I cannot begin to imagine how he feels. Some days I do okay and other days I am falling apart. I can't even begin to imagine what daily life is like for him. He has gone from being a diesel mechanic with a passion for Powerlifting (he has set many USA and world records) to having to depend on someone to tell him what day it is. I feel like these books will help me to catch a glimpse of what life is like for him while enabling me to be of greater help to him. Thank you all for sharing and may God continue to bless you.

My grandma bakes pies for your grandpa's restaurant in Eudora. I wrote to you several years ago, but could find no old pictures for you. My mother passed away 2 years ago with Alzheimer's, in much the same way as your father. You have my condolences for your loss. Added: May 19, 2016

I recently read "Losing My Mind", and I wish I had been able to thank Mr. DeBaggio himself for the opportunity to understand my father's illness from the inside. My father passed away in 2006, less than 2 years after diagnosis, and though it came late, it helped me see (a bit) of what my father was going through. I hope you are all at peace with his passing, and that you have many memories of him. My favorite line from his book seems appropriate here: "Although my memory is crumbling into obscurity, I am a memory for someone, living again in their recollection." He and my father have their places in my recollection. Added: August 11, 2014

I was making a long drive a couple of weeks ago and needed an audio book for the trip. At a thrift store, I picked up Losing My Mind, never having heard of Tom DeBaggio. Yes it was a very sad book, but it was also a powerful testimony to a fascinating and uplifting life. So sorry for your loss. Sincerely, Mike S. (Richmond, VA) Added: December 31, 2013

Dear Francesco and Joyce, I just finished reading your father's book "Losing my mind" and ordered "When it gets dark". Your father did a wonderful service to all of us affected in one way or another by Alzheimers. My husband is in the early stages, and the insights gained from his book help me understand him and the disease better. I believe that even though the illness is taking its toll on the person he is, his essential "self" -- or you may call it his soul -- remains unchanged and whole. It is my hope that I will be able to connect with this part of him throughout his decline. I will be forever grateful for your father' courage and tenacity to write these books in the face of unimaginable difficulties. All the best and peace to you both, Ruth Added: September 12, 2012

Dear Franceco and family, I just found out about your father's passing. I know what it is like for you,my dad passed in Feb., 2006 with Alzheimers. It was devastating to my sister and myself. we has lost our mother in 1990, so it is only the 2 of us now. What a couragious man your father was to write those books to help others going through the same thing. I have always felt a connection to your father, I guess because of my own father. I wish you and the Herb Farm all the best. So sorry for your loss. Hang in there. Sincerely, Marie Perkins. Added: June 29, 2012

I just finished reading "Losing My Mind" and went to the WWW to see the status of Mr. DeBaggio. I am sorry to hear that he died early this year. He was a brave man facing a devastating disease. I hope that his attempt to raise public awareness brings some answers as to the ca** of this disease, and a cure. Added: July 3, 2011
