A Michigan veteran with ALS crossed off the final item on her bucket list by getting tattoos designed by family members, including her teenage daughter. Beth Bedore, a 47-year-old veteran, served in Iraq and Kuwait before retiring after 23 years. Last year, she was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. She is currently receiving care while on hospice at the Aleda E. Lutz VA Medical Center in Saginaw, WNEM reports. Bedore’s recreational therapist, Heidi Nadobny, says the last wish on the veteran’s bucket list was crossed off Friday. She received two tattoos, one designed by her 14-year-old daughter and the other designed by her daughter’s father.
