    I am so sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine it; just knowing how we at CSN are reeling from the loss pf our beloved Kerry. You can rest assured that Kerry touched so many of us in a positive way, + he had a way of making everyone feel special. He coined the 3 most important words in survivourshp - "attitude, attitude, attitude". He told the most incredible stories. He talked to us about chopping wood and how therapeutic that was for him. He talked to us about his love of hunting, and passing those skills down the generations. He also made clear his love of good food. He made us laugh, and somehow seemed to know when we needed a funny story the most. Above all, his love + respect for his family shone through in his posts. Kerry will sit in my heart always.

    My sincere condolences to Kerry's family......although I never knew him, just having joined this group, my heart hurts for your loss.

    Susie........I want you to know something...
    Yesterday, I did ask that Kerry let me know when he was going, just so I could tell him good bye..I was on my way to Nashville this morning and clouds filled the air, completely socked in, at 7:46 the sun came out between what looked to be a solid mass of clouds. I thought immediately, Kerry's going home, I knew when I signed on what I would find, I also take special solace in knowing where he is. I'm sad that he is not here with us but happy because I know where he is now. I don't believe in luck as I said before, and I know he's saying right now that he indeed saved a seat for me. He is a very special person and one I was very honored to call my friend. Love and Peace to all of you and family through these times as well as forever, Clift

    I am so very sorry. As a personal note, when I found myself feeling so very down in the dumps, I log on and there is Kerry, with one of his stories, he had a way of saying things as they are, no sugar coating, and he lifted my spirits. That is one gift he gave to me and so many others, the gift of laughter and attitude.

    Take care - Tina and George

    Kerry made me feel young because he called himself, "the old coot".

    I do not post often but I stay in the background and continue to keep up with everyone on the board. I always enjoyed Kerry post. He was such a strength to everyone. Susie I so understand you lost, having lost the love of my life five months ago. We too at the end were praying for a peaceful exit. One day at a time...some days will be better than others and some will be almost unbearable. Lean on your family, friends, and the family on this board. They have helped so much and will help you too. Know that I am praying for you and sending you a great big hug. I hope Kerry and Frank are having a great time together above with no pain or sadness. I am here if you ever need someone to talk to. You can pm me or whatever. Love ya, Anna

    Kerry spent

    Susie and family
    Kerry spent so much time here caring for himself and those of us here. It wasn't for waste. Not like a baseball game chat site where the outcome is hardly worth the effort. (no offense to baseball fans!) But in giving of himself he pulled us together, gave words to the embarrassment of colorectal cancer, made us laugh and gave us hope. Do you know that in his own dark moments he NEVER gave up. Yet we saw the tenderness through his charming explanations of his family- something about germ producer rug rats? (grandkids) And the absolute total pride in his sons and his joy in you and his marriage. And oh the simple delight of chopping wood, of hunting season- his spirit and zest for such simple joys was incredible to witness. And through our own shock and nightmares of this horrid beast, there was Kerry with always something to pull us together, if just for a bit. I think he knew how much we loved him and needed him, just as much as he loved us and needed us.
    We will miss him a whole lot.

    Snuck a Cigarette for him
    I've not much to say, I spent the evening looking over previous Kerry posts, doing my mourning that way I guess, spent time crying and a lot laughing, went outside and snuck a cigarette for him, heck, sure do miss him.
