A Special Note from a C<strong>ALS</strong><br />
It is early and the sun is just now coming up, but before the day begins I wanted to focus on sending<br />
you a note. On Friday, <strong>April</strong> 1 my wonderful husband Bill went home to be with his Lord. Dr. Oskarsson<br />
I remember the day we sat with you and Bill said "This isn't going to get me". In your wisdom and<br />
knowledge and with compassion you said nothing and I knew then what you knew. Bill fought a good<br />
fight with never a word about poor me, why me. He fought with courage and kindness. I not only<br />
loved him dearly, but knew that even though this was hard work for Chris and I it was even harder for<br />
Bill to lose himself little by little by little and yet know in his brilliant mind what was happening. Nancy<br />
to all of the people on the staff of the <strong>Sacramento</strong> <strong>ALS</strong> <strong>Association</strong> my words are not enough to tell<br />
you how you carried this family through the past 28 months. You were never more than a phone call<br />
away. Your love and generosity helped us get Bill out of the house to be able to attend the basketball<br />
tournament in his honor at William Jessup University last fall. Without your financial assistance we<br />
never would have been able to rent the van that carried him to that tournament that honored him and<br />
touched his heart.<br />
Bill's greatest love in life was God, followed by Chris and I, but he loved people so much and it is my<br />
hope that in meeting him you felt some of that love however brief your time with him was.<br />
With my heartfelt thanks for all you mean to this family, Teresa Holtz
