In Memory of my Father
He has been gone for almost 25 years now but it seems like only yesterday. I still miss him so much. He was a simple man who had a great love for the simple things in life. He loved nature, roaming in the mountains, gathering ginseng and other roots. Scaring us to death telling us about all the rattlesnakes that he came across. He escaped the rattlesnakes and was taken from us all too soon by something worse, lymphomia.

I cry as I type this. Prehaps I haven't let him go. Perhaps I can't. Maby I don't want to.

In Memory of Van Holland
Our beautiful son, Van, died of Lung Cancer December 18, 2009 just six weeks after being diagnosed. He had one round of chemo and developed a blood clot in his arm which had to be blasted. When the blood clot was broken up part of it went directly to his lung and he had to be put on a ventilator. He died a week later when we elected to take him off the ventilator. By that time he was at 100% and the doctors told us he would probably have a heart attack within the next few days. He lasted 39 seconds after being removed from the ventilator and died surrounded by his family. I miss him so much and not a day goes by that I don't cry. He had been given six to nine months to live if we did nothing and I so want that time. He was so brave and faced his illness with grit and poise. He worried more about his parents then himself. His Dad and I were so proud of him. And now he's gone but we will remember him forever. Why is it that Lung Cancer takes so many lives and yet is one of the lowest funded cancer research illnesses? Why is there still no viable cure? Haven't we learned that it attacks more than just smokers? So many questions and yet so few answers. Van, we love you and miss you and will find a way to fight Lung Cancer for others like you.

I MEMORY OF MY DAD Timothy C. Brunner
My father passed away 2-15-2010. He was first diognosed with bladder/ prostate cancer April 29 2009. He had his bladder removed July 18th 2009. They thought he was fine had nothing to worry about until they found out the cancer leaked into his blood stream.He did 2 months of Chemo Thanksgiving week he was diognosed with Brain cancer (15 rounds of radiation) Week of christmas he was diognosed with lung cancer and first week of January he was diognosed with Bone cancer. When they took his bladder and prostate out they said he was going to be fine. At thanksgving they told him 6-12 months. January they said 2 weeks to 2 months. Then passed away February 15 2010. He fought hard he did not want to go so soon. He was only 60. I was Daddy's little girl and I miss him so much. He was such a wonderful man. Me, my husband and my two children ages 10 and 6 still had so much to learn from him. I am not sure that this will get any easier, the physical pain and heartache of missing him. Knowing all the things that he can't share in with us. Not being able to watch his grandkids grow up.But I am so happy in the time that I got to sare with him. At least to and from all the dr appointments we had great talks. I learned alot about my dad in those 10 months. I am so happy I was able to be there for him and take care of him. I love you daddy and don't worry I am taking care of everything the way you wanted. I will forever miss you.

My heartfelt sympathies
Hello Myfathersdaughter,
So sorry for your loss. I, too, was my daddy's little girl. I lost my dad to esophageal cancer with mets to his liver on 3/9/10. He too fought to the end. I think of him daily, I dream of him coming back and being cured. I sometimes have a constant ache in my chest. I try my best to know that he is in such a better place now. No more pain, suffering, or cancer. I do treasure those moments I also had with my dad as I would take him to his dr appts and treatments. Our special treat was to go have an ice cream cone on the way home. We also had many discussions about all kinds of things. Think of the happy times. You are not alone, I and all of us here are here for you! Keep in touch.
Tina

In loving memory...
I remember my daughter, lost to lung cancer in 2000, my father, lost to lung and bone cancer also in 2000, and my husband, lost to amyloidosis in 2005, the day before my birthday. I miss them all, every day...and love them no less because they aren't here. Watching their fights gave me the strength I needed when I found I had breast cancer July 09, and I am keeping their fight alive. God bless us all.

In loving memory of my Mom and Best Friend Elsie Cleveland
Sadly I lost my mom who was my best friend to cervical and Stage 4 Lung Cancer on Friday July 29th. She fought a short hard battle and only survived 3 months after being diagnosed with cancer. She never smoked a day in her life and was a wonderful special person. She lived wih me and my husband Yvio for the last 5 1/2 years since i lost my dad to lung cancer on Sept 14, 2004. I am only 39 and have only my husband left. I still can't believe that both my mom and dad are gone but I know they are both in a better place now with Jesus and are no longer suffering and in paid. I love you mom and dad and I will see you again some day.

Your loving Daughter,
Tina

In Loving Memory of my husband Wayne Levesque
My husband Wayne, passed away on April 28, 2011 after a 3 1/2 year fight with Pancreatic Cancer. We were married 14 years and together for 21 years. Tomorrow will be 15 weeks since he has departed and I miss him dearly. My life has changed forever.
I feel for everyone who has lost a spouse. I am only 40 years old and already a widow. Who would have ever dreamed?

Lost My Very Best Friend
I miss my friend so very much. She was there for me while I have gone thru kidney cancer, kidney removed,bladder cancer,hopefully in remission. She had pain in her rib and thought she had cracked a rib, May 12th went to ER and told she had 2 to 4 months from stage 4 lung cancer. She passed away July 10,2011. She was a wonderful friend and person. She left a husband and a 90 year old mother, who she took care of. I know she has a place in heaven, and I hope I will see her again some day.
Her name was Harriett Yarling, Born September 29,1953 passed away July 10,2011

The love of my life, Tom
Honey, It's going to be 18 months on the 25th since you left me. I never will forget that horrible night and how I couldn't help you. I'm sorry you had to die the way you did. We both had so much hope cause it seemed like the chemo & radiation was helping alot. Then you had that "rare" side effect from the chemo that took you from me.
I will love you forever!! Your loving wife, Carole

My Mom Rene
My Mom, Lorene, who everyone called Rene, passed away May 1, 1992 from soft tissue sarcoma that had spread throughout her body. I miss her a lot and so does my sister and my daughter. She was a wonderful Mom and Grandmother, my daughter called her Gran. She was funny, loving, took everyone in, fed everyone of our friends, cheated at card games, laughed out loud, beautiful, protective, She had a lump on her leg that we kept asking the dr about, he said it was just a calcium deposit all the while pushing on it. (Quack). She fell at home in mid January 1992, ambulance took her to the hospital, where she was admitted, ran test found nothing but she was in pain and could not walk, stayed there a month. She was then transferred to another hospital where they did a biopsy on the lump and scans. That afternoon the results were in that it was a soft tissue sarcoma and that it had spread to a tumor enclosing her spine and pushing on the nerves of the L5 nerve controlling her lower back and legs, thus the continuous pain and no control of her legs.
Drs there said they could not operate because it was on the spine but could do chemo and radiation. My sister and I asked what stage, remember this is almost 20 years ago, the drs said cancer had no stage. (BS) We agreed to all the treatments because we thought there was a chance. Her life became a living hell, no quality of life; radiation was a nightmare for her. Chemo was slightly less so. Eventually the drs said they could do no more but could cut the spinal cord so she did not feel any more pain in her legs. She was here two months. Transferred to a nursing home mid April. Passed away 1 May. She was 68.
She is still missed to this day. My daughter still has the last perfume bottle of hers, Youth Dew by Este Lauder and it still smells like her. We have pictures all over the house of her in various years from childhood to Christmas 1991. We live in the house that belonged to our parents so the memories are there.
