She further described how Bulbar ALS affected her: “My stupid Bulbar ALS got me to the sad point of not being able to talk. Never speaking means never being able to say, ‘I love you!’ It means not being able to call my Mr. BoJangles over for a snack, and it means not being able to order at the Dunkin’ drive-through. As far as eating, it totally stinks to sit at the table while people around you are eating juicy burgers hot off the grill, heaping piles of Chinese food, a healthy portion of pasta Alfredo, or Chipotle — and I just have to smile and act like I’m enjoying my bowl of puréed baby mush! Living had gotten to be such an overwhelming burden every day, day after day. I always did my very best not to let anyone know the backstory of my daily suffering and struggles with ALS. Hubby and I just plowed through each day trying to put our best selves out there for the public eye. Hair and makeup done, smiles on…”She also spoke about her “loving” husband, with whom she shared a beautiful 42 years, describing their marriage as “mostly good and crazy fun.”She then wrote: “Please be kind to everyone: the telemarketer, the grocery clerk, the Dunkin’ staff, the tailgater, your family, your friends. Speak nicely and positively. Is there really ever a reason to be negative? I don’t think so…”She also added: “PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don’t waste money on flowers. Buy a bunch of scratch tickets and give them out to strangers along your way. Make people happy — that is the best way you can honor my memory,” as quoted by TODAY.Her story is going viral on social media, leaving the internet emotional, with some saying they “already miss her without even meeting her.''
