My we be as responsive when we read. Dr. Allen experienced the decease of his wife from cancer, his second wife deceased with Parkinson's Disease with Lewy Body, two sons deceased within eight months of each other. These experiences gave birth to a desire to share some lessons learned about how God ministers to caregivers during catastrophic illnesses.
