Not knowing on time

My father-in-law died of ALS on 8/11/08. After months of testing he found out just 6 days before he passed, while he was in ICU on a ventilator. He was such a strong, out going person I ever knew. Working out 4-5 times a week at the gym, cutting 6 of his 10 acres of property. You would never know he was 81. What a terrible disease. He fought until he found out fighting wouldn’t help and didn’t want to live like that. He will be greatly missed by many..we love you.
