Terry Pratchett R.I.P.
This one hurts,
one of my favorite authors lost his battle with Alzheimer’s disease
Thanks for all the laughs, the world needed them

Do people die of Alzheimer's, though?
Edit: oh, OK:
Quote:
Although one does not die of Alzheimer's disease, during the course of the disease, the body's defense mechanisms ultimately weaken, increasing susceptibility to catastrophic infection and other causes of death related to frailty. At some point after the mind has been lost to this devastating disease, the body will be lost as well.

Incredibly sad news I was privileged to have met him some years back and treasure that memory!

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

I remember reading Terry's book on the Grim Reaper in the 80s
Rest in Peace Terry.
