Thank you both for posting about Marianne. She is my mother and we are all so devastated with her passing. I know that she was an active member of this group and I enjoyed reading some of her posts about her illness and advice for other pALS. We recently had a celebration of life for her and had around 100 people come out to share memories and celebrate her. It really showed how much she was loved. Also, I am proud to share we were able to raise over $3000 in her memory for the local ALS association chapter. I hope one day that other pALS will have better treatments and won’t have to go through what she did.
