“I want to say that I am extremely grateful for the love and kind words I have received after sharing my diagnosis of aphasia and frontotemporal dementia (FTD),” Williams said. “Let me just say, wow! Your response has been overwhelming. The messages shared with me have touched me and remind me of the power of unity and the need for compassion.”
