    Dear Susie,
    My deepest
    Dear Susie,
    My deepest sympathies to you and your family. Your husband would have been so proud to have you by his side. You are a champion for how strong you have been. During this hard time keep remembering how much fun and joy Brendan brought you. He is in a pain free place now. Keep being a champion and going forward just one step at a time. You are in all our prayers. When you have days that are hard, hold onto those beautiful memories you have of your hero and that Brendan is now in a beautiful place with no pain. May God bless you and comfort you in your grief.
    Love Danielle

    So sorry
    Dear Susie,

    I am so sorry to hear of your dear Brendon's passing. I have followed your journey here on CSN, praying for you, Brendon and your children. I was Brendon's age when diagnosed and felt a kinship with you both. It is so sad. I pray for strength for you and the children, and know that Brendon is at peace.

    So sad for you . . .
    I just had some time to catch up on postings and saw your heart breaking news. You looked to be such a beautiful couple with so much energy and drive to conquer EC. Words cannot express the sadness I feel for you, your family, and Brendon. I hope you take some comfort in knowing that so many on this site were pulling for you and Brendon. We are all devastated and wish you much love and support during this most difficult of times.

    just heartbreaking
    Dear Susie,
    I have expressed my sorrow on other posts but again, I say how very sad and heartbreaking the loss of Brendon is. To see how short your married life was is just stunning. He was a wonderful man and definitely a hero and you were the best caregiver possible and tried everything to make it better. EC is a relentless enemy and a hard one to battle. We all followed this story so hoping it would turn out so much better. May God take you and all who loved Brendon in His Hands and give you all some peace. Brendon is at peace, now I hope some peace can come to you. much love and many prayers,

    I am so sorry
    Susie,

    I am so very sorry to hear that Brendon has left us. The two of you certainly fought a courageous battle against this terrible disease. I know there are no words that can lessen the pain and loss you feel now. But please know that you are not alone, we are all here hugging you in our thoughts, and remembering Brendon in our prayers.

    May God welcome Brendon into his light and love, and may he provide peace and support to you and your family during this difficult time.

    With deep sadness,

    My Deepest Heartfelt Sympathies
    Oh my dear friend Susie,
    May I first say I am so very sorry for you and your family for the recent loss of Brendon. You both put up such a couragious fight against this EC. You were an excellent caregiver. You did all the research and all the homework. This darn cancer is just so aggressive. Same thing happened to my dad. We tried, we faught, and still we lost the battle. Some win, some lose. We have to learn to accept that. Since my dad's passing in March 2010, I have been doing my best to stay involved in ECAN.org. We have to continue to spread the word of this cancer. We can save lives. May God bless you all and give you the strength and peace you will need. We are always here for you. Many hugs to you and your family.

    Susie,

    I’m at a loss for words. Your love for Brendon has been evident in every post. The pain of his loss has to be incomprehensible. I pray you and your family will find the strength to move through the pain you are feeling.

    Susie,

    I posted elsewhere as well but wanted to make sure you saw my heartfelt symphathies. Words just can't express how sorry I was to hear the news about Brendon's passing. I had been hoping and praying for him to get past the latest roadblock so you could have that dance in August.

    I can't imagine how you are feeling right now - each one of us feels grief in our own way and travels the journey differently. Just know I am thinking of you and if you ever need to talk please give me call --- you do have your spreadsheet afterall.

    Lots of prayers and hugs,
    Cindy

    My deepest sympathy
    I don't know you personally but I do. I have read your posts and have had the highest regard for you behind my computer. You have raised us all up and each and every one of us have been privilaged to know you and Brendon. We have witnessed love and devotion from a loving couple. There are many things that I'm sure your husband was most proud of throughout his life but his proudest would be having you as his wife. God Bless you and now we pray God will heal you. xox
