    Yeah for Barbara Karnes. This is information that everyone should know. Pass this on to all your family members and then have a discussion so they will know how to proceed in the future on this topic. I just took care of my best friend that died with ALS and I wish that I had this confirmation to share with her family. It's never to late to share this with your family NOW.
