It is with deep sadness that I share the passing of my friend and colleage Ira Asherman, the founder of this website, who died on November 8, 2025.
Ira drew from his beloved wife Sandy's journey through her progressive Alzheimer's to share the wonderful programs and other supportive resources that gave them hope and joy. His dedication and passion touched countless visitors over the years. May his memory be a blessing to all.
I will be working to find a successor to carry on Ira's work. During this period of transition, the website will remain available, but may not be regularly updated. We appreciate your understanding and patience.
