MORE INFO:

    Singer Jay Allen’s mom, Sherry Rich, passed away in February 2019 after her battle with Alzheimer’s, according to the Taste of Country website. The singer asked fans in a post on Instagram to celebrate her life and to continue to share her story “until we finally end this thief of a disease.” The performer estimated at that time that his song, “Blank Stares,” had raised so far more than $25 million in the fight against Alzheimer’s.

That can overwhelm anyone looking for help. This site filters out, focuses on and offers only the best information. it has helped hundreds of thousands of people since it debuted in 2007.
