Carleen Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Dearest Shannon, I don't know how to express the profound grief I feel at the loss of your Mikey. My heart is in my throat, and tears are in my eyes as I try and type this. You both have been such an inspiration to me; you are an example of what real beauty, strength and courage is. Your faith and perspective even now is one I can only aspire to imitate. You have always been so open and intimate with us, and through you, I've really gotten to feel like you are part of my family. I could tell that you and Mike enjoyed a strong and genuine true love affair. It was beautiful to witness, and I feel lucky to have been allowed to share in it. Thank you! I am praying for you and your family to find comfort during this time. I know that Mike is a shining brilliant angel in heaven who will always be close by your side.

Guest pepperpike Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Dear Shannon, My deepest sympathy and condolences for your loss. Mike is at peace I'm sure and without pain and discomfort at last. He will be with you always in heart and spirit. We never want to hear of a loss like yours, but this disease is relentless. Another reason the caregivers and survivors must continue to let the voices of the victims be heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remembering Dave Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Shannon, This is Karen, David C's wife. I am so sorry to hear that Mike is gone. I don't know you at all but Dave shares all your posts with me and I must tell you that you have been quite an example to me as we go through Dave's cancer treatment. Honestly, I strive to be the wife to Dave that you have been to Mike, and thankfully, so far, he hasn't needed what you've had to give Mike, but if he does, I will keep your love, devotion and loyality as a guide. I wish you a happy life and please stay in touch through this board if you can (it might be difficult for you) because I believe you can continue to help others, even if we cannot do anything to help you.
