    Sending prayers to Ro's

    Sending prayers to Ro's family as they cope with the passing of their precious Ro. She was indeed a warrior, dealing with this dreadful disease with dignity and grace.

     I am so saddened by this news, and for all the beautiful women that we have seen pass from this board. May they all be celebrating together in heaven, free from all pain and sadness at last!  

    I am so sad to find out Ro is gone....

    I will miss her calm and caring replies to everyone's posts. She is finally getting some peace from her cough. This is heart breaking. Rest in peace Ro. You made a difference in a lot of lives. Thank you For that!

    Debrajo, thank you for

    Debrajo, thank you for sharing.  I don't know what to say.  I can't really accept this yet, I can't accept that this disease is allowed to continue to take the most beautiful souls in the world away from us.  I know God has opened his arms and welcomed her in a world free of disease and that Jan was there to dance together in joy. 

    In the event anyone wondered who our dear, sweet Roberta was, here was her picture with all of her beautiful flowers.  How fitting.

    God bless you my friend.  "In peace and caring" much love.

    I love this picture.

    It inspired me so to live fully and live with, not in spite of, my cancer.  Hugs, Anne

    Everyone

    It's really kind of scary how many of the women who have the biggest presence on this board are the ones we lose.  It almost seems like these women (Linda P., Jan, Ro, and others) are being punished for helping everyone out by explaining their own journeys with this awful desease.  Ro has suffered for so long with her cough.  She's finally at peace.  I'm the same age as she was but have been very fortunate to have taken a different path.  My last CA-125 was 6.3 in July and my CT scan was negative.  I had stage IVb UPSC five years ago.  I thank God for not having had the complications Ro did, and I hope many more of you can end up in remission like I have.

    Tom's Picture (Ro's Husband)

    Hi All, I emailed Tom this morning and he sent me a picture. It is incredibly special. I could not see it on FB and he said he will be opening up his FB page so that others outside of family can see it.  I tried to upload it to our site to share but was not successful. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Just wanted to send this to let you all know that it will bring you a lot of peace and joy when you see it.  Cindi

    Debra, Thank-You for keeping

    Debra, Thank-You for keeping us informed. We all are having a hard time with another Dear woman suffering. I have to lean on the thought that Ro is relieved from a crummy cough, and in the company of so many beautiful people we all miss. Ro was so positive, and strong, really, it's so hard to be there, in the moment. I look forward to seeing post from all of the ladies that continue to fight.

        I will continue to come back and appreciate the positive and sometimes sad information we all share.

    I was dx 11/17/10, i have not had a reacurrance.

    Ladies none know when it will be over for us, not even our Dr. We will Love each other through the days. I will miss your strength and determination  Ro!

    Tom, thank you for coming

    Tom, thank you for coming here and posting to us.  You have brought tears to my eyes with this simple gesture and beautiful words.  It is not often we ever get to hear from a spouse of one of our warriors.

    Ro Left her mark,Her living was not in vain.

    I am humbled by all of this , Love the way she used her life,and to have her husband acknowledging us and doing Ro's final salute, ( Thank you sir.) is soul boosting or spirit boosting depending on one's belief. It makes my heart rejoice even in it's own  sorrow.  Excellent example for those of us who still can, to get up,get out and do,

    Once per week is enough to feel sorry for ourselves, leaves ample time ,To Do..

                                                                                                           Nuff nuff love.

    RIP RO

    I am very sorry to hear of Ro's passing.. and yes a little shocked.. even though I should know by now that cancer doesn't play fair... and nothing should shock me. She always seemed so strong, so wise.. a voice of calm in this turbulent river ... Until a few months ago, she would say how she remained symptom free.. and like all of you, her special closing, "In peace and caring" will remain with me for a long time. Prayers to her family and friends, including all of the wonderful ladies on this site.

    So Sorry

    I have been away from the boards for a week out of town, so I am just now learning now of Ro's passing. I am very surprised and saddened along with the rest of you as I just thought she would always continue to pull through and be able to make her planned trips and continue to encourage us all with her warmth and wisdom.

    As I read her obituary, I realized that we were born in the same year and married in the same month a year apart, and both diagnosed with UPSC, so all of this is very close to home for me, so to speak. She has made an impact in many lives that I suspect she never had any idea about through this site. May you rest in peace, Ro. Love to all who knew you both here and off the web.

    Ro

    Just wanted to chime in and thank all of you and especially Tom.  I was able to see the picture on the FB post, and it brought Peace to my soul.  Thank you Tom, for sharing this very special person with all of us.   Even reading of our appreciation for Ro does not even begin to convey how helpful and calming she was to all of us.  May the Lord God of all of us grant you and the family Peace and Caring.  Best Debra(Jo)
