Thurston was a good guy, so sorry to hear that he has passed. My beautiful wife had ALS also and I can personally speak that it is a horiffic disease. My wife Lynn fought it for 14 years, and passed away in May 6 years ago. I was her only caretaker until last year when I brought in hospice. That helped me mentally very much. To have to watch her loss of various functions throughtout the 14 years nearly killed me too. It is an evil and relentless disease. May God walk with Thurston and all his family and close friends.God Bless Thurston.
Sincerely,
Steve Murray
