Thank you for this beautiful cause that you established for your mother. Just from what I read about your mother, it reminded me of my sweet grandmother who also passed away from this tragic disease. It is so devastating to see a beautiful, vibrant, outgoing, strong, amazing woman like my grandmother (and your mom) die from a disease that silenced her voice but never her spirit. I chose my career as a Speech Language Pathologist in honor of my grandmother “Mamaw,” in order to try and help the individuals and their families deal with the tragedy this disease causes. I’m so very sorry about your loss and pray that a cure will be discovered quickly. It’s wonderful that you have brought “light” to this cause! Your mother is your angel and is smiling down on you! I’m sure she and my grandmother cannot stop TALKING about how proud they are of their families and how they are so happy. Thank you again Nancy.

On August 29th of this year I found this fitting tribute to Betty and her battle. As my mother was also fighting the same battle. But this morning at 4:30am she lost the good fight adding to the total of people who have been taken by A.L.S. May there be a cure found so others won’t have to feel the pain and frustration that we have been through.

Hello Nancy,
Thank you for bring ALS information to the world. My sister passed away 2008 from ALS & she was only 56 yrs. old. We know she is an angel now but we miss her so. We participate in ALS walks in Ky. & Il. hoping to bring more attention to ALS.

Hi Nancy
I was just watching Access tonight and great to see you were
presented with some awards for all of your hard work you have done with ALS.
We lost our Mom in April 2008 from ALS and we miss you so much, and reading these pages, brings tears to my eyes.
Take care of yourself Nancy

Hi Nancy, my Grandmother died on New Year’s Day of 2005 from ALS and I wasnt able to see her before she died because my family didnt want me to remember her like that.

Sorry for the loss of your Mother. My Uncle was diagnosed 5yrs agoe with ALS. At the beging they said it was a stroke and then Parkinsens. It affected his speech and swallowing not anything else at the time. His leg muscles where strong because he was a Mail man and he walked his route. But now he can hold only a glass with one hand and kind of feed hisself but nothing else. God has a purpose for him being around this long. My Uncle would like to be in Heaven with God. He depends on us to do for him. I somtimes think thisa is worse than Cancer. We will rember u all in our Prayers please do the same for us.

Hey Nancy,
My grandmother passed many years back due to ALS. It is a sad sad sad thing to have to live with, but with the help of those around you, the grieving process seems much easier to deal with and help you cope. I am a member of HOSA, and I am hoping that we can make Betty’s Battle another Service Project for our group. It may not make a big impact, but a small difference in the lives of those living with this disease.
