Tributes

Alzheimer’s has many faces, many stories.

We invite you to read these stories and remembrances. These are tales of vibrant men and women. Some tributes may focus on the joy of their lives, some will cover the descent into the darkness of Alzheimer’s . We hope to shine a light on that darkness, revealing our friends, relatives and loved ones as we once knew them.

Each week this site will feature new tributes. Check in on Memory Mondays and to read the latest stories, tributes and remembrances.

To have a tribute included on this site, please contact me at jewelrytribute@gmail.com
