Hello Kris.  I too have followed your additions to this message board and want to thank you for all your valuable input.  I am sure you have helped give some people strength and encouragement with your words.

I also want to say how sorry I am for your loss.  I am finding anyone who battles cancer of any kind to the end, is a warrior.  Where they find the courage is amazing and I suspect it comes from the love they feel around them.  Your father was obviously loved.

Please take care and know you are still not alone.

shannon,

thanks so much for your continued support. at times (especially in my 11/21/07 post) i felt so lost. you always had a supportive response that was uplifting for me. you knew what i was going though then and now. and your words of comfort are much appreciated.

i am proud to share in this fight with you and everyone on this board. along with our loved ones...we are all warriors. i wish you peace, kris

Hi Kris, I am so sorry to hear of your loss, yet thankful that your Daddy is at peace and living free.  I know your plight all too well.  I lost my wonderful Daddy in Nov 2007 to stomach cancer.  He was only 55  a tri-athlete, full of life, and I still struggle to get through each day without him physically being here with us.  I miss his voice, his laugh so much.  I pray that your family continues to live with peace and understanding, and the infinite love of your Daddy around you all.  They are always with us.  God bless......

I know I'm a little late here but I am so sorry for your father's passing.  I too have followed your story and talked to you a few times in private message.  Your posts were always so inspirational to myself and others here.  I was really hoping your father would pull through...at least he as at peace and I can assure you that time does heal all wounds.
