So sorry to read of another Lyme victim's passing.
May he finally be granted peace. My sympathy to his family and friends.

At least they said what caused his death. I often wonder how many people die of the complications of Lyme and we never know.
So sad. It didn't say his age. Sounds like he was a very nice guy.
