SueYou don't know me but I wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss. We experienced a similar loss of our son to that horrible disease so know the pain you are feeling. As the weeks go by, try to remember Bryce as the boy he was instead of the man he became. Also, forgive yourself. I am sure you did everything you could to help him. I think you took the first step by admitting his disease. So many do not. Prayers are with you. Sue
