A tribute--to the men I think of as the LCSC Lions

[fillise]

Ernie, Don and Ned.

These were the men I thought of as the LCSC lions. They were always here. They were all very proactive and informed in fighting their disease. They NEVER hesititated to share their knowledge and experiences with the rest of us.

There are so many who I have come to love on this board, but these three men seemed to me like an anchor. They were steady and unmoving. They never seemed to let a setback throw them. Each of their timelines contained volumes of useful information; what they learned they shared with all of us.

Now they have each left us. Ernie in the spring of 2009, Don in the winter of 2009 and Ned just last Friday. The roar of our lions has ceased, but their spirits live on.

Thank you Ernie, thank you Don, and thank you Ned.

Love,

Susan

And I think of Dean Carl who supported me while walking his path less traveled. And Frank Lamb, I never eat a chocolate donut without thinking of him.

Add my voice to Susan's tribute and add Rich (dadstimon). Katie, your great guys were before my time but they started a chain that just goes on.

I join you in remembering all of these "lcsc lions". They all gave so much of themselves to all of us. I will never forget them.
