  8. Dear Sheila & family,
    We met Hubert and the family though the ALS Support Group. I could tell that you took care of Hubert with great love and kindness. Just think, he can breathe, talk, and use his hands now that he is with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

    He got through this disease with dignity and faith and that is how I hope I can do the same thing. We are praying for the family.

    Love,
