There's a post I posted this morning, Fri, 5/5, at the bottom of this first page. I would greatly appreciate it if you could take the time to read it.

Troy, a friend of our family whom was our neighbor for years & years was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease about 4 years ago. He is such a magnificent person, always friendly & cheerful, willing to help anyone in anyway he could, as a matter of fact his entire family is the same way. He's only 36 years old with a beautiful wife & 2 small children, it's such a shame. He has been in the advanced stages for a little over a year now and has decided that this is the end of it. His tracheotomy will be removed this Friday at 4:00 pm, in the comfort of his home, where hopefully he will peacefully be sent to the heavens above.
If yous can please keep him & his family in your thoughts & prayers it would mean the world to me and I'm sure his family as well.


We knew this would be the day for a couple months now but as time gets closer it really is getting harder & harder. Why do these things happen to the best of people with so much ahead of them?

thoughts and prayers to Troy, his family and you

We had to make that decision with my sister recently, though the illness made its own decision in the end.

I am with that family.

The night before we might have to make the 'decision'(she came off life support so we didn't have to right then), I read up on some stuff where others had faced the same thing.

The one message I got is that we had to keep our own feelings out as much as possible and think of what was best for our sister/daughter.

Also, a gentle and wise nurse at ICU mentioned the difference between prolonging a life and extending a death.

I wish your friends all the best...

May his journey be peaceful and he be met by all his loved ones on the other side. Thoughts and prayers to you and his family.

No matter how long you know it is coming, it is still hard to let them go.

Lots of prayers going out to Troy. That is absolutely heartbreaking, so young and with a family. I'll be sure to send lots of prayers for his family as well.

What a hard decision to make and a difficult disease
My Grampy died of Lou Gehrig's and it was so sad to watch him suffer.
I will pray for Troy and his family.

Thank you for all the support & thoughts, please keep them coming, it's getting worse every minute.

So sad! You are so right we all need to count our blessings and tell everyone we love them daily. Troy and his family are in my thoughts as prayers you as well. Are you ok? I'm sure this is very hard on you. I'm truly sorry.

Oh Donna, thank you so much for thinking of me but as mentioned we truly are blessed. We must be strong to live this thing called life now-a-days. I am fine, well considering anyways, as fine as I can be but I'm counting my belssing here. Very sad & heartbroken but I am fine. It's the less unfortunate we must think of now.
Thank you again though sweetie.
