My mother-in-law Anne, was diagnosed with Alzhiemers when she was 49. Although her family was very close, many of her brothers were not able to be present to witness her slip away from this sad disease. Anne died several years before I started my Healing the Light Body training.  None of my children knew what a delightful woman she was and she is deeply missed by us all. 

At my wedding, Anne gave a wonderful collection of favorite family recipes including this incredible breakfast strata.  I first tasted the dish Christmas morning with her before I was married. Today it is still part of our morning holiday tradition and one of our favorites at office brunches.
