Articulate Quotes
My father had several strokes and heart attacks. I was with him when he died, and it was a horrible death. He had been a very articulate man, and to lose that, never to be able to speak properly and to be unable to move - he had always been a very vigorous man, so to be in a wheelchair and mumbling - was terrible.

Activities Quotes
Jerry touched many lives, whether he was bringing in supplies for activities or telling us about other clients who were either sad or having a bad day.

Athletes Quotes
When I first came here, the wheelchair racing program was really in its fledgling stages, but by the time I left, we were a strong team with athletes from around the country and had begun to receive more support from the university.

Accessible Quotes
When I was walking around I was 6 foot 3, and people didn't tend to approach me very much, and one of the interesting things about being in a wheelchair is it sort of cuts you down to size and perhaps out of sympathy or whatever people feel much more like coming up to you. I'm more accessible I guess down here.

Announce Quotes
As the service moved forward toward its powerful climax, the miracles would begin. Kathryn would suddenly announce that a person in one of the balconies had been healed of an ailment, and someone in the wheelchair section was healed of cancer. On and on the announcements continued as the ushers moved up and down the aisles locating those who claimed to be healed in one of the ways described.

Accessible Quotes
I quickly learned that asking if an interview space was wheelchair accessible was a bad idea; it gave a potential employer an immediate bad impression. It was either a black mark against my name, or a straight up discussion of why I wouldn't be able to work there because they had no wheelchair access.

America Quotes
His accomplishment is an astonishing feat to think of someone in a wheelchair being able to handle the Heart of America Marathon course the way he did. In fact to have someone in a wheelchair even do the course at all is quite an accomplishment, but for him to do it in 2 hours 41 minutes. It is simply amazing.
