Danielle Gibson met Tony a few years ago, and a spark quickly erupted between them. They fell in love, got married and later had children.
Unfortunately, life is often not fair. It was even in the case of Danielle and Tony.
Tony started to lose his memory, often had headaches. Doctors gave him a strict diagnosis: he was suffering from Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is a rare and fatal degenerative disease of the brain. It affects around 1 in 1 million people worldwide each year; In the United States, there are approximately 350 cases per year. Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) usually appears later in life and has an fast track.
That is why patients with this disease only stay with us for six months.
Tony lost the battle for life a few months after the diagnosis. Just a few days ago, his wife Danielle sang “Amazing Grace” to him, and her appearances went around the world in an instant. Sadly, this is one of Danielle’s last memories of her late husband.
