A friend among our home schooling group is under going some testing this Tuesday. She has Lou Gehrig's disease. She is a wonderful homeschooling mother with three children. Please pray for her, her husband, for her family, for her all of her needs. She is valiant...so strong. Could you please pray to St. Therese for her?
Thank you.

Mari,

I will be praying for your friend and her family. My mom died of Lou Gehrig's disease (a.k.a. ALS).

Will pray...definitely.
We have a young girl (early 20's) in our church parish suffering w/ this. Very sad.

Praying for her. My Great Uncle passed away years ago from ALS. It's a difficult disease, and I've lifted her in prayer.

This women is so strong in her faith. She had some testing on Tuesday and what would normally take three hours only took one. It was supposed to be painful and it wasn't for her. She is thanking all for your prayers. She is waiting for her test results.

Thank you so much....
