Cowboy State Daily, Casper, WY; by Dale Killingbeck; 3/1/25 
One of many tattoos on her left forearm is a dandelion in seed stage ready to blow in the wind. Deanna Cotten calls it “the wish flower” because in Texas where she was born that is its name. And like a seed ready to fly, Cotten finds herself in her last days on Earth and understands existence here is temporal. She considers each dawn a blessing. ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, has already claimed a lot of ability from the 43-year-old Glenrock, Wyoming, wife and mother of four. ... With the help of a friend, she is completing a book she started writing for her business clients that has morphed into a book for people in similar circumstances who are facing some sort of crisis and end. ... In November, she entered hospice treatment at home where a team ... from Central Wyoming Hospice & Transitions cared for her and offered assistance to her family at their Glenrock home.
