Grandma Niswander's book about Alzheimer's

As many of you know, Sara's maternal grandfather, Dean Niswander of Bluffton, Ohio died about 2 years ago from Alzheimer's. A man of many talents and well known for his love of his family, it was hard for us to watch him endure the loss of his memory and other complications from the disease. Grandma (Joanne to the rest of the world), a writer and essayist shares some of her journal posts day by day along with the difficulty of slowing watching her husband die.

If you know someone who is showing signs of this dreaded disease, or if you have lost a loved one to Alzheimer's, I think this book will shed some light on the journey that many people either dont' talk about or don't know how to express. We are proud of Grandma for sharing their story in hopes to help others. You can buy the book at Amazon using the link below.
