She leaves us rich in memories..



HOME
I can jump
I can eat
I can sing
I can walk

I can move
I can dance
I can breathe
I can talk

I am home
I am healed
I am free
I am whole

I now have
So much more
Than ALS stole

The race has been finished
My journey is done
Please don’t say, ‘She lost her battle’
For indeed, I have won!

By Steve Martin (ALS warrior)
