I died in the evening of December 26, 2017.  I was in the Gregory Wing of St. Andrew’s Village, Boothbay Harbor, Maine.  I had the disease my husband and I feared most, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, insidious and incurable.  We finally got an accurate diagnosis in 2014 by travelling to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.  They suspected this disease on our first visit and this was confirmed within two weeks.
