Judy Kalnas:  

ried soon. She was diagnosed with Tay Sachs disease at the age of 18. This is a ravaging disease that destroys your muscles. She can no longer walk without wearing braces on her legs. She is truly an inspiration and at this point, our only hope is a cure. She is in a study at the National institute of Health. I have learned from my kids to love all things. Their generation (at least what I see from my children and their friends) have no prejudices or hate for anyone or anything. "All people are created equal and they treat everyone with respect. They don't care what color, religion, how you dress or wear your hair, they will be your friend. They are all lady Gaga fans. They taught me to see the good in every person. I am very blessed! Jess will be loved and looked after by her sister and wonderful brothers, when my husband and I leave this world. She is a trooper, but will one day need loving care. Next year she will marry her high school sweetheart, who has never left her side since she was diagnosed..
