| I was passing by the river last week, and remembered the time when you pulled that elderly gentleman from the river and saved his life. I think of you often and will be seeing you in a couple of weeks on the island. I believe that you would be very impressed with the new "Dave Memorial Cup" fishing trophy.....shot glass included. Miss you, Jim | |

| Hi Jen & Mike. I just wanted to let you know that my son 's in high school now and he has just completed his health project which was to be done on any disease. He wished to do his on ALS. Besides Dave's story, we also lost our dear neighbor to ALS. He was only 43yr married with two boys. We were fortunate enought o be able to assit his family in differnet ways from begining to end. Having this web-site has given my son the knowledge necessary to better understand this horrible disease, the causes and effect also. Dave put up a very brave battle. He will always be remebered. Wishing you a Safe & Happy New year Friends' of Dave Laurie & Nichole Bourgoin | |

| Dave, spent Christmas with Heather and her family this year in Marblehead. We flew to Tuscon, AZ with the goal of spending a few days warming up from this frigid northeast winter and wouldn’t you know it was just as cold there. Heather and I hiked two mountains to stay warm. It looked just like when we went through the desert in 1982 with dad – miss you. | |

| Dave, our cousins in Wellesley created a Memorial Football game for you. It is called the Annaul David LaFayette Invitational Football Championships. The format is; Fran sends out an Official Invitational Entry Form (OIEF) to friends and family and Louise as usual feeds us all and Robert brings the beer. Fran lined the field complete with endzone markers and Imade a first down chain and down marker. We fielded four teams and played a round robin – two games for each team. My team won the Championship and our Jerseys were the grey promo shirts you created a few years ago as promo items. We raised some money too – donating it to maintain the site – miss you. | |

| Dave, we are having the Halloween Harvest Fest this year and it will be our 17th. I finished the house this year and created a state park like back yard in the woods and buikt a huge three pit fireplace just like you’d want when you visit. Happy Halloween, and guess what? The Red Sox won the World Series again! Heather and I also got engaged this summer so we are planning to get married next June – miss you. | |

| Linda/Curt Rucker(cousins) | 07/29/2007 |
| Dave,and Jen, I have written a poem for you,and it goes like this. "In Life" There is the birth of a soul that emerges into all eternity. It begins with a simple grasp of a tiny hand,and it is "Marked" as the begining. "In Life" there will be scraped knees,big smiles,the first kiss,apologies,and many joyous events,and it is "Marked" as growing. "In Life" there is a "Special Someone",a kind wind,big yards,barbrcues,a wedding,dinner with friends,good wine,butterflies,and it is "Marked" as happiness. "In LIfe" there are hand shakes,a fierce storm, hugs,a shoulder to cry on,and the ever demanding question? why?,and it is "Marked" sadness. "In Life,there are angels.They carry you in all of lifes happenings.They may be your friend,a neibor on the street,and it is "Marked as comfort. "In Life" there is death.No decisions on when,how,or why? It comes to all of us,the rich,poor,good,bad people,and it is Marked"as "Life" | |

| Jen, I know this is a hard day for you, I also know that David is with you all the time, and will carry you. I remember your wedding day, life was just perfect for the both of you, as all weddings should be. Unfortunately we never know what life brings us. If we did we sure could fix things for everyone. You are a wonderful person who took great care of David for so long. You are very blessed, and loved by many people as David was. You are always in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Linda and Curtis | |
| Linda | 07/28/2007 |
| Jackie is one of my dearest friends and has asked me to write something for David and Jen in remembering their anniversary.This poem was given to me when my son, Brent, passed. "SAFELY HOME I am home in Heaven, Dearones: Oh, so happy and so bright! There is perfect joy and beauty in this everlasting light. All the pain and grief is over. Every restless tossing passed, I am now at peace forever, safely home in Heaven at last." | |

| Dear Jen, Six years ago today, you and David took your marriage vows. You both chose to honor and cherish eacher in sickness and in health, which you both fulfilled to the fullest of your love for one and other. I remember your wedding vividly. *S* The sun was shining brightly, there was a slight breeze in the air. You both were surrounded with happiness from all your friends and relatives. The day was perfect to celebrate your love for one and other. Jen, David is not far. The brightness of the sun is his beautful smile. The warmth from the sun is his love for you. When there's a breeze, or a slight wind, David is the whipser in the wind. If you listen carefully Jen, you may hear him whispering to you. On this precious day, my thoughts are with you Jen. | |

| I just wanted to let everyone know that I still think of all of you who have supported Dave, my children and myself through this difficult time. I also made a journal entry that has not been entered onto the website as of yet. I wrote it the night I buried David. If you are interested you can email me at my personal email address: jenlaffy@yahoo.com. Thank you once again. Always --Jen | |

| It is sad to rea you notes, because I am going through the same feelings. Not being able to talk & do the things you took for granted really hurt. I would love to hear about what you are taking & if you feel that it has helped. What you have done here is truly amazing. Keep up the good work. Steve | |

| Jen, Children, Jackie, Gillian and Dave's brother ---- Words cannot express what you have gone thru --- Dave was a special person -- For him and his brother to put this website toghter and his brother to keep it going --- Thanks Jackie for telling me about it still being up and I just had to come on and write -- Remember all the memories --- being a neighbor I would always think and pray for the family --- What strength and courage everyone had thru this ordeal --- I will always remember Dave's smile, him and my Dad talking - which I am sure they are doing now in the higher power. But especially this last christmas season when I saw him and Jen at home depot when they stopped and visited me --- concerned that it was my house that burnt but one of the other neighbors - even with what was going on in their lives --- they was always thinking of others --- It has made an impact on my life -- again thanks for this wonderful web site -- take care everyone and I pray and think of you often -- Sally Ann | |

| Dave, We held our Walk to D'Feet ALS a few weeks ago in Charlotte. It was so hard writing your name onto the sticker that said "In memory of..." rather than the sticker that said "In support of...". I was wearing my survivingals.com t-shirt and wristband and thinking of you... | |

| I really do not like using the guest book to get my thoughts out or to let people know what I have been feeling; however, right at this time my journal is not up and running. Yet, I feel as if this is very important and it should have been placed right away on the site. I wrote this May 14, 2007, the night I buried my husband. May 14, 2007 I am sitting here tonight, wondering what my next step should be. As you all know Dave is now with a higher power. Dave and I have had many conversations about what possibly can happen when we cross over. I always joked with Dave and said | |

| Dear Dave, I have refrained from writing on this web site as I felt that we said everything we needed to say to each other, as we needed to say it during your IV therapy and our visits together as friends. Now that you are in a different place and I cannot talk with your physical body I find that there are things that I must tell you and to those who frequent this web site that must not go unsaid/unwritten. In my line of work I am a promoter of choice and source of information for many patients. This is what I do and do best and feel proud to be able to give patients choices in life to do things their own way. Even though at times as a nurse I am thinking in my head and may even say, this may not be the best of your choices but it is ultimately your choice until you are no longer to make those choices for yourself, and I will support you in your choices without judgment. For all that know you we know that you stuck to your guns and made every choice as you felt it should be along the way. At times I was like a dog with a bone about that feeding tube, bringing over all the literature I could find so that I felt you were making an informed choice not to have one placed. My function as a nurse and more importantly a friend was to inform you and support you in the path that you chose. At times this was extremely difficult. Some of you may be thinking, “What does she know?” I only came into this friendship with Dave through marriage; to some this does not mean much, and you may think that I truly did not know him. But regardless of how I or any of you knew Dave, through marriage to one of his closest friends, through working with him, through school, parties or whatever. We all knew him in a special way, you were a very special person Dave. My best friend Sarah reminded me yesterday that when Emma was little there were only two people outside of the family that she could totally be free, talkative and playful with one was herself and the other was you Dave. You will hold a special place in my children’s lives forever. I need you to know that I am proud of you for sticking to your guns and living your life your way till the very end. I cannot express in words what I feel regarding your passing. I can tell you that I am so thankful to have been there, during your passage to your next journey. I am glad that I was able to support you and Jen, as well as your family that was there that evening, through this process. As Jen so simply put the night of your passing “I can honestly say there are no regrets, there are no I should have’s, I would have’s, I could have’s, we did and said everything to each other that needed to be said and done.” I am thankful that I can say that with confidence as well. I will miss you. I will miss your continual smile and laughter and what joy it brought to my children, Norm, and myself. Love Tina | |

| I met Dave at the Halloween Harvest Fest this past fall when I traveled up to Maine with his brother Michael. I saw a tremendous support network of Dave's family and friends. Even though I only met Dave for the first time that night, I could see that he had an influence on many people. It was a rainy, windy night but the hall was packed. My thoughts and prayers are with Dave's family. His family and friends are among the best. | |

| To Dave's wife,family,Norm,Jim and Matt,my deepest sympathy and my prayers are with you. Dear Dave, I learned about your website Sunday at your beautiful celebration. I had heard you were ill, though I had no idea of your fight. I wish I'd known more-but you know that, and there is much to say, but you already know that too. My heart is heavy as I look at pictures of your incredible life. And the pictures of you smiling. You always smiled with your whole heart. I am so sorry for what you and your loved ones endured. Mostly I knew you that one summer when I was 15, but so much fun and so many memories are packed into that summer. All the concerts we went to,all the music we listened to. Oh man how we laughed and oh how we partied! And the brown Nova, that didn't even need a key to stay running. Your idea to drive Jeff's vw on the track at my house. All the fun, all the adventure, and most of all the friendship shared. Thank you Dave! I am thinking of you and will be. I love you Dave. Jodi Gauthier (Wormald nowadays) | |

| David, your long courageous battle is over. If love could have saved you, you would have lived on earth till the end of time. Your beautiful, magical smile will forever stay in my heart. It's a mystery as to what happens once we pass. I would like to believe since your journey on earth is over, you've moved on to your next journey, where ever that may be. The very first time I had a jello shot was with you, a few years back at Aunt Phyllis's. I remember looking at it, and asked "how do you do this?" Once I got the drift it, I still had a hard time getting the whole thing down at once.. The next time I had a jello shot, was at your party, celebrating your life. As we toasted to you, I smiled, feeling you were with us in spirit. When it's my turn to pass, I hope you'll greet me with jello shots. As strong as my faith is, believing we'll meet again, doesn't stop the sadness I feel. "To Jen, my sister Jackie, and Michael," David couldn't have had a better wife, mother, and brother. The three of you stood by David, loved him unconditionally. You were by his side when he needed courage, you respected and honored his every wish." It can't get any better than that in my eyes. | |

| David, somehow in your pain, you managed to set an example for what can be good and noble in a human being. You used your tragedy to help others. If that isn't the definiation of hero, I don't know what is. You are the most courageous person I've met and it was an honor to know you. | |

He was a great guy and I'm so happy that you found happiness with him.

| I just came back from the Memorial service at Dave and Jen's home. It was as Dave wanted-- all his family and friends gathered together with beers and barbeque to celebrate his life. The Bad Dog crew was in full force and those things that made growing up in Lewiston so great. were on full display. Some Bad Dogs could not be there today but they were there--as Dave always will be. We will be on the island for Memorial Day weekend just like we have ever year for more than two decades-- and you better believe the jello shots and Yaeger will be on ice. See you there Dave, we will keep your seat waiting for you by the fire. | |

| I was so saddened to hear of Dave's passing. My own father died of ALS 3 months ago after a one year batlle, until succumbing peacefully in the home which he built. Although I never met Dave, my brother did at the ALS support groups and he was well known in the ALS community for his determination and fighting spirit. We are down a Hero. And it is hard to make sense of why such cruel and horrible things happen to such great people. My prayers are with the LaFayette family | |

| Michael and Family: Lynn and I send you our deepest sympathies for your loss. Reading David's last journal entry reminded me of how many things we take for granted every day... Our health, simple pleasures and the richness of life itself. You have done such a great job getting the message out with this website. I hope it is comforting to know that you are helping people that have gone through the same trials that you have. It is evident in his words how very proud David was. | |

| To the family of David. You have my heartfelt condolences for your loss. Bitsy and Dan have spoken so caringly about your David and informed me today his battle was over. Having lost a sister at an early age, I know there are no real words to explain or express the sorrow. He must have been a wonderful young man to have so many sign in with such warm thoughts. Bitsy's Mom. | |

| To Jenn, his brother Mike, and Dave's other immediate family and many close friends, words are hard to come by on a day like today. Even for the most expected of losses, Dave's insistence on surviving made us all want to believe the impossible could be true. Today is a day of sadness and disappointment. Sadness for the loss of our friend and a sense of remorse and disappointment for Dave that although he probably knew deep down he would not survive, he tried hard to make himself and the rest of us believe he would. His battle, his will to live despite steep odds, at least for me, was not a "fools errand", but a statement of courage and heroism that will not soon be forgotten, at least for me. I, like probably so many others, wish they could have done more than accept this fate, but at the very least, we know Dave's suffering has ended. As time goes, so will the sense of grief and loss. From Kevin, Kristin, Aidan, & Collin Blier, we send our deepest sympathies to all who grieve along with us and our thoughts and prayers are with those who are his closest loved ones. God Bless | |

| I would like to express my sincere condolences to the LaFayette family. Your perseverance throughout this ordeal is truly admirable. Dave's strength and courage never wavered with your support. I had the honor of visiting Dave just two days ago and as anyone would guess, he was able to generate big smiles. Those muscles never faltered. There were many visitors there which is so indicative of Dave. He brought so many different circles of friends together. It goes without saying that Norm and Tina Martineau were there also. Their unbelieveable support is beyond any that could be expected by even the closest of family. Thanks you guys! | |

| I work with David's brother Mike at Monster.com. I wanted to express my sincerest condolences to David's family in this difficult time. I did not know David but based on what I know from Mike he touched many lives and despite this terrible disease he fought it till the end. He bravely made his situation known to advance the cause of research and awareness so that others may benefit. There can be no greater testament to the character and courage he demonstrated during this time. | |

| Dave, I wrote to you for the first time on Sunday 4/29/07. My Mother was diagnoised in January. We have begin the detox plan outlined in the book "Eric is Winning." Eric Edney is the author, and practices all organic, no meat, and a super strict regimen of supplements. I came across his book on the internet. There's also several pages of updates on the internet since the publishing of the book. His plan is spelled out in the book, but modifications were made later. I really encourage you to check out the updates online. Hang in there, Stephanie | |

| Hi David, First I would like to say my thoughts are with you. I am on the net looking up information for my father in law Dave Mac Roberts who has ALS now since April of 2006. He is very strong but also confused and down at times. I hate seeing him like this and everyday he trys different things to keep going. He is now being spoon feed and his in a state of hurt for having this diesease. It would be great if you could send him some information about Als and your life with ALS to help him through each day. I thank you so much if you could e-mail me back and let me know you received this. His name is Dave Mac Roberts Address: 5a Keith Drive Goulds, NL A1S 1B1 Again Thank you very much. | |

| Hi, I have briefly reviewed the website, looking for more information on ALS and was quite taken with the fact that Davids diagnosis (April 05) was the same month and year as my dads. Unfortunately he (my dad) has not really made much effort to find out more about ALS, the effects thereof, or do any future planning. Considering that it is almost two years since his diagnosis i am finding it more and more frustrating as i realize that neither my mom or dad have particularly concerned themselves with the future other than harping on the fact that my father has been diagnosed with ALS. However the point of my "signing" the guest book was just to say that i admire you for having the courage to write your journal and will certainly be visiting your website on a regular basis!!!!!!!!!! Regards Stephanie | |

| Recently, I met up with my old pal (and yours), Jim Couture and his fabulous wife, Rebecca, while they were visiting Vermont. I asked about you and he told me about this website and about how he and some other friends had just finished up doing some work out at your house. What struck me the most throughout our conversation about you was: you have an amazing circle of friends who love and care about you very, very much! Let them be your strength while you fight this terrible disease. Your website is touching and inspirational to all...those with ALS and those without. You are in my thoughts... | |

| HI Dave, I went to high school with Jenni, she was a year behind me. I have never known Jenni closely, but we have always taken the time to stop in passing and share pleasantries or challenges about our lives and family with one another. When I saw her in Walmart with Madison several weeks ago, she asked me if I had heard about the challenge her family was facing. I had not. Even though my husband, Roland Cote, had heard, he had unintentionally forgotten to tell me. I was so shocked. After overcoming Jenni's medical challenges, I just could not believe that this had been handed to your family as well. It really hit home for me, though. I can relate to your challenges and pain, even though I have not had to personally deal with them. My dad's best friend, Steve, has survived ALS for 12 years now. I was so excited to share this information with Jenni. I want you to know that there are people out there that have been fighting this, just as you are. Just last night, I asked my mother to give Steve your email and website. I am sure that he will contact you. He is an inspiration for others. Your love for life and your family will get you through each day. That is what I believe has made the difference for my dad's friend, Steve. Love, Karen Cote | |

| I'm so glad I got this website. I heard about your illness last year from Sue (my sister) and knew nothing about ALS. I often think of you Dave wondering how your doing ,so this is great I will be able to educate myself from this website and read your updates . I met your wife today and she seems like a wonderful lady. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers Dave. Joline Caron (Bouchard) | |

| I'm not sure Dave remembers me from high school, we all went on the trip to Florida together. I was floored when I found out about the diagnosis through a mutual friend. I already knew about ALS from listening to the journals of a local writer (Cape Elizabeth) read on NPR radio by her sister (she wrote about her experiences with ALS). It is a tragic disease so I was very upset for Dave. But then, I visited this site, this wonderful, positive site. I can see how very blessed Dave really is......my sister was diagnosed with a rare cancer & we have talked often about fate & life. There are many, many people in this world who are healthy and may live to be 100 years old, but they never truly live. They never experience true love or true friendship. I see that Dave has both of these things. Every day is a miracle. I wish you well, Dave. I send along all my positive thoughts (and those of others - Michelle (Tardif) Bosse & Sue (Roy) St.Hillaire. Keep up the fight !! | |

| Dear Dave, I know that I have visited this website many times, and I have never responded in the guest book, but I am going to now. When you came into our lives and my sister Jeni's life, it was the best thing that has happened. I still till this day remember Jeni's first trip to Florida with my other sisters and my mom and how she would light up and giggle just your name being mentioned, we all sat around and talked about it, she swore up and down you two were just friends, but us knowing Jeni more than anyone, knew there was something more. Exspecially when you mailed the key to the box of goodies for her trip. Hee hee..that was a dead give away. You have helped her build her strength back and gave her the best gift that anyone could ever give someone and that was hope and laughter once again. She in return gave you the same, your love for one another would make anyone want to fall in love with someone. I love my sister Jeni, and I love you, having you as a brother in law has been an honor, and I truly mean that, I have so much fun being around you and my other brother in laws. On a different note you have found probably the strongest and loving woman to help you through this fight . You two were meant to be together, and I admire that. I love you so much, and I am coming up with some things down here. You are very strong, and as anyone can tell without knowing you, you are a wonderful man who has given his heart to so many people. I love both of you, and I will be there soon. Love, Liz | |

| Hey Dave, Everytime I check out your website I am more and more impressed, and proud of YOU! I still say and always will say "I can't even believe that there is such a disease (als)." How can something so awful!!!!!!!!! happen to such a WONDERFUL GUY!!!! I will always be proud to say you are my very BEST FRIEND! I still say if I had a huge wedding you would have been "my man of honor" I think alot of people thought we would get married. But that wasn't in the cards for us. We were meant to have such a special friendship that not alot of people will ever share. I love you so much and I absolutely can not believe that this is something that is actually really happening.You are such a HUGE inspiration to so many but, please remember you need to take care of yourself first and foremost! We (all!!! of your many friends!!!!!!!) are here and want!!! to help in every!! way possible so do not feel you are asking!! for our help WE WANT TO HELP! I love you so much and always will, your best friend, Lisa | |

| Dave, I can't tell you how impressed I am with your website. I would like to have all Maine pALS take the time to read all the fantastic information you have available here for them. I will make sure to sing your praises to all the pALS I meet. I would love to have you come to speak at one of our support group meetings. Others dealing with ALS could learn so much from you even though many have been fighting it longer than you have. They come to support others and walk away having been supported themselves. You could do so much for them. You are all so inspirational in so many different ways and I have found very few (in the six years that I have worked as the Patient Services Coordinator for ALS in Maine) who feel sorry for themselves - like you, they are too busy trying to learn more and trying to help others as you are doing with this website. Most of you are such inspirations for others with ALS as well as so very many people who are not fighting it, but are touched by you. Like so many, I too would have loved to have had you around to teach me as I was taking care of my boss - and we were learning about ALS together. He and I started the Maine Support Group in Augusta. He was the Clerk of the Maine House of Representatives and made the most of his fight. He managed to work up to three weeks before he died. Like you, he was also a very inspiring person and wanted to help others with their fight. I am no longer working as the Pt. Services Coordinator for ALSANNE. Instead, I am trying to volunteer my time in other aspects of trying to assist pALS in other ways. Right now, I am working on finding a way to reach out to people who have been diagnosed but have not yet found a support network. I want to be able to refer them to agencies out there who have some financial support for them and the information on how and where they can get the help. I have other issues I am working on as well. Thank you for sharing your story. You are a great person as is your wife. (I was so happy to have referred her to the Joe Mayo ALS Scholarship Fund and was thrilled when she was successful in getting a scholarship.) From the details of your story, you have a very special family and so many wonderful friends. They are fortunate indeed to have you in their lives. Thank you for touching mine - I hope I can get to meet you. Keep up your positive attitude. It is what makes each day count. Rita | |

| What a great website and an amazing story. On Mardi Gras I was given one of your bracelets and asked to come check out the site. I feel fortunate to have found out about this site. I have had known people close to myself and friends of my family that have gone through the battle personally of ALS. I think your strength and persererance is very honorable, and I have a great amount of respect for you as a person. I at this time am not able to make a donation due to financial health bills of my own due to another medical situation. However, if I can in any way ever help spread the word or help organize any benefit, walk, etc. please contact me. Take care and I will keep you and all people impacted by ALS in my prayers.

I just wanted to write to let you know that I saw you on Channel 6 news and I can't describe how inspired you made me feel. I have the utt most respect for someone like you! Your attitude and words of encouragement to others proved that you are an outstanding individual with a loving and supportive family. It's wonderful to see that you are living your life to the fullest by going on the family cruise and continuing to work. I'm sure this is a difficult time for you and your family and I just wanted you to know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers..........Gary and I are sending a donation to you directly and will continue to donate to ALS research as a cure must be found!

| Hello, My Mother(Josephine Ware, Jo) was diagnosed with ALS almost a year ago. She of course doesn't believe it, and is still drinking alcohol, and doing what she always does. Not much. As I watch her getting weaker, I am wondering what I can do. Like something that will lessen her falls. Or to help her with her sluring, and drouling. She goes to the Forbes Norris Clinic inSan Francisco. Murphys is 3hrs away. I guess I feel at a loss. Just watching her fade away. I am wondering if there others in this area with ALS. How do I find out. I wouldn't mind starting a support group. Thanks for listening. Sue Harmuth | |

| Hi David, Thanks for sharing your story on the Channel 6 News the other night. I had the privilege of hearing Jamie Heywood (from the ALSTDF) speak a few years ago at The Jackson Laboratory annual meeting. He talked about his brothers endeavor and his own resulting drive to make a difference. It was a powerful presentation. I am the principal of Ariel Creative who has partnered with The Jackson Laboratory for about 18 years telling their story through annual reports, capital campaigns and other fundraising initiatives. I spent a few minutes on your website and thought you may find an article of particular interest. Jackson Laboratory Team Designs a System for Detecting Early ALS Symptoms in Mice. They, too, are making strides towards learning more about this disease. Here¹s a link to the article on their website: http://jaxmice.jax.org/library/notes/499h.html. Our company specializes in helping with organizations who are working to improve human health from Make-A-Wish of Maine to international organizations like the Lab. So it was great to see your story tonight as I am burning the midnight oil. Best regards to you, Karan | |

| Dear Dave, The other night after watching E.R. (did you see it?), I watched your story on Channel 6 news, then again today at noon. Despite my hearing the sad news of your diagnosis, I was thrilled to see such publicity of the disease, what you and your family and friends are doing to support research, and the hope and positive nature of your story. My father was diagnosed with ALS in 2000, after about a year and a half of bulbar onset symptoms. The disease has continued to progress slowly with him, giving us a chance to do research on drug trials, attend some informational and support-oriented conferences and meetings, and to move on with hope. I have since joined the Board of Directors of the Northern New England Chapter of the ALS Association. My folks live in Dayton, Maine, and they attend a monthly support group meeting in Augusta (there is also one in Portland and Bangor) put on by ALSA. Its clear through your web site that you have researched the ALSA site, and you may even be attending some of the same meetings as my parents. If not, and you or your family members think you might want to check out a casual and positive group of people with similar struggles and hopes, do check out one of the Maine support group meetings. You can find more info at ALSANNE.org, or I am happy to pass along specifics. Thanks again for sharing your story, for your and your familys continued bravery and hope, and I wish you well. Sincerely, Sue Sydnor | |

Our long time, beloved Veterinarian, Jim Burns got the disease. We made a donation at the time of his death toward research, & will now again make a donation to this very worthy cause. I want to thank you on behalf of my old friend, Jim Burns- he would be sooo pleased with all the work you are doing & raising awareness!!!Best of Wishes, Lisa Wilson | |

Dear David, Thank you for your lovely note. i did put my "heart and soul" into the recent episode of ER (entitled "Body and Soul"). As fulfilling as the artistic experience may have been, the greater joy by far was meeting brave people like yourself who clearly choose to live in the face of such a momentous challenge. Your courage and the courage of others like you inspire me and others who are blessed to meet or know you to live our lives to the fullest. If I have in any way contributed to a better understanding of this horrible disease, I am glad to have been of service. I wish you good health, Sir, and I hope for and believe in miracles. All the best wishes, James Woods |

I wish so much we had had a site like this to refer to back then. It does help even now though. Thank you. Good luck with all of your efforts. Thanks so much. Kris | |
