I wanted to let everyone know that my friend Linda (PALS) died very peacefully at home with her family and close friends by her side.
Thank you all for being a place where I was able to learn more about how to help Linda with her battle with ALS and share my fears and frustrations. After 41/2 years of being by Linda's side as she courageously lived with ALS I feel blessed to have been available to help her until her final breath on Thursday night. All who witnessed her death agree that it is possible to die with peace. If ever there were a beautiful death hers was it.
She would want me to tell you all that the reason she was able to die in peace was her faith in God and His goodness. That may sound odd given the nature of this horrible disease called ALS. But He is good and Linda's faith in that helped her face it all with courage and grace. She knew without a doubt that she would be in Heaven with her Lord and Saviour Jesus the moment she took her last breath on earth.
My prayers will be with all of you as I now find a new direction for my life.
With love to you all,
Jeanne
