"This is a story that needs to be told. It's a story about a family confronting and struggling against MS and its effects on the person with the disease and their families. The goal was to win, at first; then to make the best of a bad situation; then to survive; then finally, to face the heart-breaking conclusion: learning to live with the loss of a loved one. Toni, my niece, was a wonderful young woman who loved God and her family. She continued to fight this disease even as it took over her mind and body. Her family, with great love and courage, sacrificed and pushed forward, even when Toni could no longer fight for herself. I believe this family's story can truly be of help to anyone who is going through a situation that seems impossible, because ""with God, all things are possible."" - Minister Bobby"
