Hiliary So good to hear from you! I remember first seeing you at PAN Forum in DC. You were such a brave and inspirational person. You and a few others were why I got so involved in advocacy. It's great that you are back! God bless - Peggy ----- Original Message ----- Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2009 08:48:46 -0400 From: Mary Ann Ryan <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: I'm back! Hiliary, I have thought of you often and wondered how you and your children were doing. I remember that you had some struggles regarding the children and I pray that all of your issues were resolved. My husband, Jamie, died at the age of 68 on Nov. 20, 2007 after a mighty battle with PD. He had PD for 28 years but finally succumbed.
