The RIP thread

I can only relate ..being in essence an only child.. in that how close my ex-wife was to her sister. I married one..and got two women in the process.

Deepest condolences Terri.

someday... someday one would hope at least.. we will finally find a cure for it. It would be one thing if were a direct cause and effect with smoking. Especially among the younger who should know that sh*t can kill you. Howeer it seems many get it and don't ever smoke. Environmental, genetic. Who knows but with the talent, smarts, and with a bit of finanical support you might think our best and brightest could find a cure for it.

Terri, you and your family have my heartfelt sympathy. A few years ago my mother in-law was diagnosed and gone within 7 weeks.

Here's a virtual hug from a distant friend. 

f**k cancer indeed.  I lost my grandfather to it. His three daughters offered to do whatever they could and the doctor told them it was too late and there was no cure.  But more than that, what was painful was what the disease reduced him to before he could die.  My condolences are with you, it cannot have been an easy passage.

I know how many people have been affected by this ghastly disease that strikes in so many ways, each more insidious than the last.  I was just thinking that there will be no public outpouring of grief for my sister, like there was for Squire or Bowie, yet her life had as much value.  Every life has value, and that's why I wanted to post about hers, that ended far too early, just as theirs did.

Just read of the death of your sister. Condolences from Jean and me. We feel with you.

Stay strong, Terri.  It hurts...."C" took my dad and brother way before their time was due.  No words can fill the void but they sure can ease the pain.
