    Michael lost the battle this morning around 9:30 AM. Me and my boys were at his side. I didn't think I had so many tears left in me but the tears are still coming and I wonder if they will subside....

    Tears
    Oh Pheobe I am so sorry. Tears are just rolling down my face. Please Know that you and your family are in my prayers. I have so many mixed feelings. This board has helped me so much. I do get attached to the people here and it is so hard to hear this. Paula

    Sincerest Condolences to Phoebe and Michael
    Phoebe

    My heart like so many others on the board are saddened today. This is a post that we feared we might see, but hoping we would not. You kept us updated so well and I think we all knew from your updates that things were not going well, but we all kept up hope.

    The Semi;Colon life is a hard one. When one of us Wins, we all win and when one of us Loses, then we all lose. And we have lost a great person in Michael today.

    My words cannot adequately express what I'm feeling for you right now. I cannot think of anything worse than being a CareGiver and watching your loved one slip away while you care for them. You have a strength that is undeniable. In the short time you have been here, we have gotten to know you and have been glad to have you here with us.

    Things are obviously much worse for you right now and I can't imagine what you are feeling and dealing with at this moment. I do pray that time will help to ease some of your pain. Your husband was a good man and he fought with all of his being to beat this thing. And you did all that you could do as his wife and CareGiver to help him with your battle.

    I pray that he is at peace - and that you can find some solace to help you through these trying days ahead.

    I want to thank you and Mike for your courage and bravery. You both have inspired many of us to new heights and you have showed all of us how to live our lives to the end with Grace and Dignity.

    I can understand you wanting to forget about Cancer now - but perhaps in time you will come back and check in with us to tell us how you are doing. I feel that as a Caregiver that you would have much to offer the board on what it takes to be one. I hope to hear from you again one day.

    My sincerest condolences to you and your family during this difficult time of your lives. My heart is heavy for you and it was a shock to read this first thing on Sunday morning. But there is never a good time for that.

    The Semi;Colon family holds you in our hearts forever and we still walk with you on your continuing journey.

    -Craig

    I pray that you find peace
    ..with the good memories that you have of Michael. God grant you continued strength as you go through the next few weeks and the life you have with your boys ahead of you. I am so sorry for your loss.

I will keep you and your boys in my Prayers. Again I am so sorry. God Bless you and help you through this difficult time. Margaret

    I was once told...
    that "the only thing they can take with them is a piece of your heart".

    Michael has but moved...from in front of your eyes, into your heart, where he will live on forever.

    Hugs, Kathi

    So well said, Kathi
    I am so sorry and so very sad to hear he has passed, but i believe he is in a better pain free place. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

    God Bless

    Words...


    Words seem like such an inadequate tool at a time like this. How can mere words convey adequate comfort to a family whose hearts are so heavy? Nevertheless, words are what I have. Please accept my sincere condolences for your family's loss. I sincerely hope that your family will find peace and comfort.

    Your loss
    Phoebe, I've followed your postings since coming to this site after my husband was diagnosed last September, and it breaks my heart Michael has passed. Thank you for being so brave in the face of this terrible disease, and accept my deepest sympathies.

    To hear about your loss. I hate this disease! I pray you will find peace, strength and courage through this difficult time. I cannot imagine how difficult this is and how difficult this will be for your boys without their father. Prayers coming your way.

    We are all praying for you
    Phoebe, I am so sorry you have to go through this. I know that one day I too will face this with myself. I think I would want to be out of pain both physically and emotionally. I think the emotional pain can be worse sometimes. My heart goes out to you and to your husband. Please know that I will keep you both in prayer to give you strength and hope for a better tomorrow. Take care of yourself while taking care of hubby.
