No prob man... she passed away in 07 from ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). It's kinda like one of the worst terminal illnesses I've ever heard of. Itatrophies all of the muscle mass and then the nerves go haywire, sending causeless pains and itches throughout the body. You can't scratch them once themuscle atrophy completely paralyzes you. Eventually, you die from not having enough muscle or muscle control to keep the lungs working. It progresses slowly,or at least it did at first with mom.
