I want to let everyone know that I lost my husband, Brad on July 15th. He developed pneuomonia and was too weak from chemo to recover. He was the strongest and bravest person I have ever known.

    There is a wise old saying (I paraphrase) "If a person has but one other person carring him in his heart, he never perishes, but lives forever".

    Brad had not left you, he has just moved...from in front of your eyes, into your heart...to live on forever!

    I lost my daughter in January 2007 to a wrongful death situation. The lawsuit makes me remember...I am sad for both you and I...

    Hugs, Kathi

    Sandy,

    I am so sorry to hear about Brad. You were an awesome caregiver with unwavering support.

    He is up with Kerry, Bud, Sweet Baby Girl and so many others now keeping an eye out for us.

    My heart goes out to you and try to take care of yourself. AND don't be a stranger.

    Sandy, I am sorry for your loss. I am fighting a recent diagnosis of 6 months to a year with no other options. Cancer really dosent give a **** who it attacks. It can take our bodies and it can steal our health but it will never get our memories. I hope your thoughs of Brad are filled with what made your smile and laugh.
    Live on child now with the strength of two.
    Peace to you and your family
