My husband Harvey past away yesterday afternoon after a very fast down hill spiral this past week.

I will post again at a later date when so I can put into words what my precious and couragous husband had to endure this past week.

I want to thank you all for your support and knowledge that Harvey and I received through this journey.

Regards,

Bernice

OMG Bernice,
I am so sorry for your loss. Words can't possibly express how I feel but let me tell you tears are coursing down my face as I type this.
Last fall I felt like your hubby and mine were bound for great things. They were gonna lick this monster. I wanted to sing praises that they were in the small percentage that made it. This year though brought both of them to their knees when the cancer started winning. I myself am on a day to day watch with my husband Danny. It is a place no one should have to be.
Please know that prayers are being sent up for you Bernice to get through this with some sanity and peace. Also I pray that your hubby passed peacefully and doesn't have to fight anymore.
Thank you also Bernice for your thoughtful help when I was a newbie to this horrible club. You had your burden but was gracious enough to help me.
Hugs,
Charlene

Bernice, My heart just goes out to you with the loss of your Harvey. I cannot imagine how difficult all of this must be. I am sure it is not easy. Remember one thing, that time will eventually 'ease' the pain.

I am really sad about this. I, too, related a lot to you and Charlene. You are in my thoughts and prayers and just do what you can, as you can. God Bless You and Harvey, Rest in Peace.

I want to thank all of you for your wonderful thoughtfulness and prayers.

It makes a week today since my wonderful husband Harvey passed. Although I am so very thankful that he is no longer suffering with his vicious cancer, I am just numb and lost without him Crying or Very sad

I thank God for the 16 years we had together and I am thankful for each and every day as they were all very precious gifts.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Regards,

Bernice
