GREAT WIFE! GOD BLESS THEM BOTH!

NFL take care of these individuals....its very unfortunate a multi billion company allows former employees to suffer.

LOYAL WIVES you guys are the Real MVP'S!! From all of us Men, Thank you!

With all due respect. This is no quality of life. I would not want to live like this

His wife is still beautiful..she's aging gracefully

You know damn well he was a great husband, her love and loyalty says it all. May God bless & keep this couple.

She is truly a blessing. May God Bless you, Steve and your family.

A wife who hasn’t abandoned her husband and continues to care for better or worse. God bless you mam and your husband.

N his wife is still with him... There r still good ppl out there... God bless u n increase u

You are a true wife!

My uncle passed from ALS. And years later, a resident at work I had cared for was diagnosed with ALS . I have known and loved 2 people diagnosed with this. I would say it does not feel so uncommon anymore..:(. This woman is a hero for him. . This disease literally takes all from you, except your mind. You are trapped..in a personal jail. Prayers for all enduring this battle and for those who have lost someone to ALS. hugs xoxo

She is worth more then gold!

That's a Good Woman right there. At least he was lucky enough to hit the jackpot of marriage.

This is a true definition of a good wife live by the Bible this is a good wife I'm wishing and I'm praying for many blessings to you and your husband!!

I would want to die at this point

Thanks for sharing this story, what an amazing woman!

My father was diagnosed with ALS as well. He played football in HS..My sweet mother took care of him and us 4 children all while attending school. It’s such a devastating disease..I pray for this family 💕

My god my heart cry’s out for him

Very blessed. Sending as much prayers to your family. Money can't buy this perfect love and support.

God bless him and his wife along with everyone else fighting this illness.

RIP Steve. No more suffering.

I'm a PITT fan and I remember when Steve played for Penn State. I always admired him. He was a warrior and continues to be one. God bless you and your family.

My prayers go out to him and his family. That’s a great woman and a real wife. God bless you always 👍🏽

Wow did not know he was going through this. Its a shame to see him this way. His wife is a unicorn. God bless her.

Wow I have 100% respect for his wife that's a good woman

NFL get free welfare stadiums but they have to make it do difficult to pay these families, smh🤦‍♂️

For better or for worse.... man words a lot of us take for granted the love and understanding she has and for him to go threw this best wishes to both of them

Mrs. Smith, clearly you're a child of God! Praying for you all.

Prayers for Steve and his family. Once a Raider always a Raider! 🙏🏾

I’m so sorry that he has this. He is a big inspiration to many people. I’m sorry to him, his wife, his kids, and his family. I agree that there should be changes with how football is played. However, maybe he can be a voice that helps change it. I wanted to tear up when he smiled. It goes to show in the midst of hard times there is still a reason to smile and be happy somehow. I wish many prayers and blessings to him and his family. He has a great support system.

May God bless them both. . You are a strong woman and all women should look up to you.

Thanks for your caring. You’re one of a kind!

This is the first time I've come across these comments. I want to thank all of you that left positive kind comments. Steve and I have been married for almost 30 years. There was a time during this journey we had nothing left of our savings because the majority of it went to Steve's care. Steve chose to live and that meant going on a ventilator. His daily care is very important and when someone is bedridden they're susceptible to bed sores. He's defied the odds against him and I believe it's his amazingly positive attitude, faith in God and the love and care of our family. We have been very fortunate throughout the last 18 yrs since his diagnosis to have friends and organizations that have helped us. I have no idea what the future holds but if there's any lesson to be learned from this and what I hope to share with others is that love will see you through. When you have children it's our job as parents to teach them that you don't run when faced with adversity. for those that felt the need to leave negative, inaccurate comments about our life...I can only pray for you.

Beautiful wife, very strong! Hope I can find someone I truly love and would die for ..ONE DAY❤️❤️❤️

Blessings to him and his family. Amen🙏

God Bless him and especially his amazing wife and their sweet children. This is heart breaking. But at the same time it’s a blessing he has a wife that loves him unconditionally. This is a perfect example of unconditional love. I hope that I’ll be so fortunate if I ever get sick.

Dam.. true love right there.. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN INSIDE AND OUT! Sad to see Steve like that. God bless!

Wow...I feel sad for him but then happy as well because he has such a loving caring and beautiful wife. ❤

Loyal woman, a woman like her comes once in a lifetime, if you're blessed.

Why do we always say people are amazing for doing what they are suppose to do. We say mothers and dads are amazing for taking great care of their kids, we say wives and husbands are amazing for taking great care of each other, we say teachers are amazing for teaching and taking care of their students, we say the military is amazing for keeping us safe in our country. Well I say, it's LOVE of what you signed up for and YOUR LOYALTY TO YOUR WORD and RESPONDSIBILITY .... Enough with this Amazing......

THAT'S UNCONDITIONAL LOVE🙌 MAY KEEP BLESSING BOTH OF THEM FROM THE CROWN OF THERE HEADS TO THE SOULS OF THERE FEET🙏🏼

Prayers. I just found out that my dad has ALS. He just got a feeding tube put in and is in a wheel chair. It breaks my heart. He raised me since I was a baby. I want to move closer, so he can see his grand kids.

Grate wife and I pray for your family 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Now that's true love. God bless you both.

Behind this great woman, was a man that loved her the greatest....it shows. Good job Steve!! RIP

This is the kind of love you only see in movies... Absolutely amazing fortitude in the face of overwhelming odds.

Rest in peace 🙏🏽 🕊

May god blessings be with him amazing wife this is a true meaning for better or worse 😇

Sad to see this happen to one of my favorite raiders back in the day

If you are reading this. I hope you win and continue to be such a wonderful woman!

REST EASY BUDDY!YOU FOUGHT SO HARD!LOOK OVER YOUR FAMILY UNTIL THEY JOIN YOU MR. SMITH.YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION! ONE LOVE🙏👍😥

Is not to many women like her any more or men!!

Im Pray for him 2 have a speedy recovery, Im pray for you Steve, and your wife and kids

This disease seems to affect athletes and bodybuilders more often than others. I wonder what the correlation could be?

Praying for the Smith family...God bless.

You're a God given wife to steve. God bless you and your family

Take note men. This is the type of woman you want to end up with. What a sad story. Had no idea.

2:19 nice to see him smile.

60 minutes. When I watched last night . Made me cry.

God Bless her & there entire family

May the lord be with him and his family keep them in Jesus name. I pray the lord give him strength and healing amen

damn this is sad,,,now iam going look him up to see him healty

Wow, what a horrible way to live though

Very sad to see steve fighting with health issues. Wish him the best.

God bless you both

She's unique, god give her alot of strength.

Lord bless this family man💯😓

What a horrible disease 😢

My POA is my brother. Not my wifey or my mum. I definitely do not want to live like this unless I have young children. Wifey or mum would prolong my life and that is a "no go" for me. More power to those who can deal with this mentally.

With the biggest respect, but is it worth living like this?

May god bless him and his family my mom died of als in september 😢😢

In our text books in school they say athletes *may* be at high risk due to exposure to artificial turf.

I will NEVER allow my family to see me this way slowly choking on myself and I would allow not my body and mind to suffer this way

Sending you all love and prayers !!!!!!!!!

This strong woman is my hero for sure.. she is super awesome...

Grateful for my good health. Feel blessed if you have no health issues rn.

TRUE DEFINITION OF A WOMAN & A WIFE

God bless you y'all he's a real soldier and your a great wife to him you never meet people like this now days in relationships

Steve is very blessed with a very caring wife, God bless them.

How is someone able to sue over ALS? There is no proof that ALS is caused by injuries from football or diabetes. He may have got this regardless if he playing football.

This is a difficult video to watch. The tragedy in concussions is evident here. To go from a star athlete to that is probably beyond what the public really knows. His wife is such a blessing for him, she ment her vows when she spoke them. I can’t help but think to myself that’s no quality of life. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be strong enough if that happened to me. I sure hope the league and all those doctors get a handle on this and find a way to help these men.

Nfl does not want this in the media. No doubt. Amazing woman.

What an incredible wife, they don't make them like her anymore,

Most all ALS patients don't have any corporation to sue. I'm no fan of NFL but how did the NFL cause his ALS?

My mother bit the bullet to ALS. Nasty disease so I have an idea what she’s on about. Love eachother, we’re all on this ride together.

God bless you Steve. Hits too close to home.

Amazing wife, but I honestly wouldn't want to A) live and B) have my wife have that kind of life. She would always love me but that wouldn't be me. Rather her remarry and enjoy her life

What a great wife/women. However at what point has Steve lost the quality of life? How much money is the family I debt for with all the medical needs Steve has? Is it only the machines that are keeping Steve alive? Does Steve feel any dignity as a man living this way? Are my questions insensitive or disrespectful? I apologize to anyone if it offends them. I don't feel I'm alone asking. God bless Steve & family.

God bless you!

man i hurts me to c people suffer like this. i wish things like this doesnt happen

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 it really brings me into tears

This was a strong fullback in his prime. I remember him well. This is tragic.

This is so sad it almost made me cry

May God bless you

Omg!!!Yes it's Very hard" Bless You & your family & I truly do mean that w/All of my heart"!💞

My grandma who was a very active 68 year old , suddenly started falling, and having muscle weakness in her body in January of 2011. In March of 2011, she was officially diagnosed with ALS at the Cleveland clinic. She went from a gardening, fly fisherman, to not being able to move by Early April of 2011. My mother and my aunt (my grandma's daughter , and my dad (my grandma's son) had to care for her almost around the clock. She eventually devoloped the trouble breathing and swallowing and was put on hospess care. She was admitted to the hospital in July for something that I can't remember and passed away a few days later. She battled this Terrible disease for 6 months.. they said her case was abnormal and very fast. It'll be 8 years this July since she's been gone .. she had taken a statin drug called crestor for her BP for 5 years prior and we think this was what started the sudden muscle weakness and eventually lead to ALS. We know multiple people that have taken it and have also had this bizarre muscle weakness. It seems like it is a lot more common than it use to be. Prayers to all who are or have a en affected by this terrible disease.

Great story thank you
