    Thank you all so much for the kind and supportive words. This Forum is so cathartic for people who have lost their loved ones, and obviously very supportive for those that are going through ALS either as the patient or as a relative of a patient. I believe in my heart one day there will be a...

    Doctors lacking compassion

    Thank you for the kind words. It just does not seem possible that he is gone. He was such a wonderful person. He was truly loved and will be truly missed.
