I understand the final stages of ALS. It just came rushing back to me. My sister-in-law passed away as a result of ALS. She was the family quilter and a marvelous one at that who left a heritage of quilts for her family. I got her stash and tools. My daughter got her sewing machine. I dove into quilting after her passing to keep her "alive" in our memories. ALS is a challenging disease. Michelle will need support, loving care now and in the future. Prayers will sooth, good encouragement and a laugh or two daily are needed to keep her strong and healing. Oh so difficult to lose your love.
