D Tour is a moving film. I recommend that all get to see it in its entirety. Everyone, from Pat, his/his bandmates' families, to the medical and support staff, to Peter's family all came across in the best light. A difficult, but necessary issue has been raised here and Peter's family and mother, in particular, should be honored and respected for their adherence to their son's wishes, no matter how "strange" or painful. Thank you all.
