I am Deborah DalFovo
a family member of someone we've lost to ALS
California
Diane was the picture of grace, dignity, and goodness in spite of her illness. Just like Lou Gehrig, she was a hero and an inspiration.
My sister Diane was a big baseball fan. She loved her home team, the Detroit Tigers and often went to games—eating peanuts and rooting for the Tigers. After she was diagnosed with ALS, Diane attended Lou Gehrig Day at the ballpark in her wheelchair in 2006. And, when she was no longer able to attend games in person, she insisted on watching every single game on television with her husband and sons.
Diane was the picture of grace, dignity, and goodness in spite of her illness. Just like Lou Gehrig, she was a hero and an inspiration. May they play baseball and cheer together in heaven <3.
