What I am debating on now though is all the love letters, cards, and all the pictures of us together, do I send them to her? I know he is not telling her or the elders the whole truth. Should I send the proof or should I let this go?

You need to think about how doing this would make YOU feel. I don't think either way it would be right or wrong and to be honest I don't know what I would do. But for sure with the feelings you have for him, being in love and no being betrayed, thinking clearly is about impossible.
I'm sorry this happened to you.

just heard this on the news...........he was 93.. i know what it's like to lose a family member to alzheimers.

it's strange, we wouldn't let our pets suffer like this, but it's expected that humans suffer right to the very end.

prefer to give the credits to Michael Gorbatchow.

No argument here. Regan was an effective prod.
Perhaps to appreciate what Regan was to many you would have had to lived thru the Carter years. I joined the Military at a very young age, 17, while Carter was in office.
Regan just changed everything for the better at that time. (yes yes I know about the dept)

That quote didn't almost start a war, but did tell his feelings about the Soviet Union and Communism

He did get your Wall torn down in Berlin.

The German Fellow Said:
I remember him for almost starting WW III when making a joke about attacking the USSR when he was on air and did not know
Come on. Almost starting WWIII - now it's getting a little ridiculous.

Samuel Herd (1935-)
Samuel Herd was elder in a small congregation of Arkansas, U.S.A., and started as pioneer in 1958. From 1965 to 1997 was circuit and district overseer. Shortly after, he and his wife, Gloria, entered Brooklyn Bethel, where he worked in the Service Department and in the Service Committee. On October 2, 1999, Samuel Herd was appointed to the Governing Body. He is the only Afro-American in the Governing Body.

When I was an elder he spoke to the elders in the circuit as the D.O. always does.
He gave a wonderful illustration using Larry Bird - the point being not everyone can be the star
and
One about racism, in which the upshot was he thought one of the fatcats at bethel was racist and it turns out this brother's wife was black. So he had to conclude maybe the brother just didn't like him that much or he read too much into the matter.
