      From keepmegoing July 7

      Sorry for your loss. We take comfort knowing that they are in a better place and no longer suffering. I am dealing with caring for my husband who was diagnosed in March 2005. My best to you and your family.

      From beachbarb June 20

      Frank's journey with ALS ended in April. I am so sorry. That makes me all the more determined to answer question, collect blood samples and try to reconstruct some very puzzling pieces. Your encouragement has helped to keep me going. Thanks. I pray for a healthing and peaceful grieving period for you. You need to surround yourself with peaceful friends who understand this process of grief. I know it only too well. Barb

      My name is Bill. After a Year and a Half Stuggle with ALS, my brother Frank died. I was there with him at the end. Before it touched my life I had only heard of ALS. Today I am aware of what it can do to a person and a family. I believe that some day I will be a better person because of all of this.
