Our thoughts and Prayers are with the family during this time. ALS is an Unforgiving disease that also took my mother. I know John was an Amazing case and God had a plan for him. God must have known that John would embrace his Illness and Help others cope and so many are greatful.

To Dawn and her family,
You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. I know the cruelty of this disease having lost 2 former in-laws to the disease in the last couple of years.
May your memories bring you comfort.
