Why We Need Your Help
December 16, 2024 will mark 32 years since God called home a wife, a mother, an angel Grandma... and so much more. Mom truly was an angel on earth. She had a light that will shine forever and a spirit that could not be broken. ALS is a cruel and horrid disease. Mom was diagnosed with familial ALS in May of 1990. In the 2.5 years she lived with ALS, she showed strength even though she was deteriorating. She wore a smile when everyone around her was crying. She displayed true Christianity and went Home with a peace that passed all understanding! Our family lives on through her, the lessons she taught and the examples she showed. There is not a day that she is not thought of, or a celebration that she is not part of! Our family has walked as "Mom's Marchers" every year in the Pittsburgh Walk to Defeat ALS; and we will walk for another twenty and another twenty until a CURE is FOUND!!! 'We walk because we can... and she would if she could!"
We love you! We miss you!
