Bob, I know how difficult this time can be. I just lost my husband yesterday. This is all so fresh and new to me that I know I am still in a state of shock. I just want you to know that I loved and admired Fay. She was a beautiful person . She gave her all to all of us and I will never forget her. God be with you and please accept my heartfelt sympathy. Love, Sue

March 2nd, 2006, my precious husband lost his courageous battle . See obits. Love and Prayers to all, Sue

I have little strength to post . I just wanted to let you know that my precious, Mike lost his battle today. I will write more later and post his obituary when we get it completed. Thank you to everyone for your love and support. Love, Sue

Thank you all so very much, especially dear, Tina for the glimmer of hope you send my way. Mike is just struggling for breath, can hardly talk and eat . Tina, how fast did it work. The radiation oncologist says it starts to work in days and can possibly get rid of the entire blockage by the time he is rechecked in 3 weeks. He emphasized that this is not a cure, but said he felt very good about the procedure he did on Mike today. Not being able to breathe sucks!!!!! This can't work fast enough. I love him and find myself paralyzed with fear and emotion right now. Have to leave in about an hour and I feel I can't move forward. All of my family needs all of you now. Thank you for being there for us. Love, Sue

Hi all, This is a very quick update. Got in not long ago. Today was not a good day. Mike's cancer is progressing. His tumor is growing into the bronchial tube now and blocking air. The radiation oncologist put radiation seeds in the tumor today in hopes of relief. The pulmonologist suctioned puss and infection out, but Mike still can't breathe well. We hope the radiation will help him breathe better soon, but it is in no way a cure. It is only a "palliative" measure. I will write again soon. God Bless you all, Sue

Prayers for our Rich. Love , Sue

Today-Feb. 27th was not a good day... Mike was severely short of breath all day... The plan is .... Tomorrow afternoon he is scheduled for bronchoscopy to check out the stent to the trachea.. possibly dilate the area.... clean out mucous secretions... and the radiation oncologist will do brachytherapy on the tumor. Praying for relief.. He was so short of breath he couldn't eat today. Thank you for all prayers. Love, Sue

Lori, Your mom has my prayers for a speedy and full recovery. God Bless you and your family. Love, Sue

Fay, God be with you. Love, Sue

Continuing Prayers. Love, Sue
