Re: My mother's pathology report has been completed

[Guest guest]

Lynn,

My condolences again on your recent loss. Thanks for donating your mother's

brain to the Mayo Clinic for Lewy Body Dementia research as that's a precious

gift that helps us all. Fewer than half of the families I know of receive a

neuropathology report that confirms LBD, so both you and your mother's

neurologist did a great job with the diagnosis. I'm sure your mother would be

very proud of your advocacy work for LBD education and research!

well-prior to Mom's passing for a brain tissue donation. (The arrangements were

made with Mayo Clinic, primarily because they are involved with both LBD and

Alzheimer's research with donated brain tissue, an important point in my mind.)
