In October 2003, Mary Louise Ross Harris started to write a blog "Watching my sister... disappear", about her sister Peggy, who had been diagnosed with a form of dementia called Pick's Disease. Over the following 6 years, Mary Louise would faithfully but with deepening sadness record the progression of the disease. Her last entry on Peggy's condition was in 2009. Peggy was by that time in a nursing home. A few days ago, she was transferred to a hospice. Today, at 1pm local time, she passed away.
Although Peggy did not write the blog (she was incapable of doing so), the fact that she was blogged about for so long more than qualifies her for a special post on this site.

Thank you all for following my journal about my sister, Peggy!
She is finally home....safe and whole again!
Her funeral was a true celebration of her life!
Leave it to Peggy to bring the whole family together from all corners of these United States!
Thank you all for your continued care of my sister and of me!
Mary Louise!
I'm so glad Peggy's 'leaving' brought all the family together. That's what family is all about.
God rest you Peggy. You are with your Mom and Dad now. Look after MaryLoise now as she goes through another worrying time. Amen.likehec574
