It is with a heavy heart that I have to tell of the passing of Elaine. She was a member of the forum since Oct. of 2004, shortly after her diagnosis of bulbar ALS. I had met her shortly before that and in the short time we knew each other we became friends. We both knew that with ALS our time as friends might be short. We were together on Sunday at a fundraiser for ALS. She was happy to be helping out for the cause but seemed resigned to the fact her time might be short. We talked about decisions that have to be made and she expresed that she would let her faith decide her fate. She passed quietly in her sleep last night. Her avatar next to her name showed an angel next to a white cloud. I don't know why she picked that one but maybe she knew more than we did.
She will be sorely missed by her husband, son and daughter,family and friends in the ALS Community in Peel.
