I am Barb Peklo

a family member of someone we've lost to ALS

Nebraska


I hate this disease. My precious mom has been gone since October 20th, 2008, and I miss her every day.

ALS SUCKS! ALS took my mom at the age of 62. She was a daughter, sister, wife, mother and grandmother. She was an amazing person. If she were here now, she would be cherishing her seven children, their spouses, 22 grandchildren and first great-grandson. She loved everyone and everyone knew it. Her faith and compassion for other people was apparent at her funeral. I hate this disease. My precious mom has been gone since October 20th, 2008, and I miss her every day.
