hey Scott, KittyKatt's recent loss was my mother. This happened a couple days before the Vegas show this year and we powered through that with mini breakdowns in our hotel room. There is so much I could say about this disease and all the emotions you will go through but it would be a long post. If you ever want someone to talk that has been down this road feel free to reach out anytime at all. add me on skype imortylpussycat. i'm so very sorry to hear this news about your mum.
For the cigarette smokers out there, in case you didn't know, there is a form of dementia caused by smoking. that is how my mom got it
