The Polly Black Memorial Fund

The estate of Ms. Polly Black has generously donated $10,000 for CNS's ALS research and patient care program. The following poem is some of her final thoughts.

Afterglow
I'd like the memory of me
to be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an afterglow
of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo whispering
softly down the ways.
Of happy times and laughing times
and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve
to dry before the sun.
Of happy memories that I leave
behind when life is done.
