Memorial for Uncle Lang in Seattle

[Guest guest]

Dear Fellow Heppers and Friends,<br><br>Two

fellow heppers have lost their battle with Hepatitis C.

A longtime advocate for HCV awareness, Lang

was involved with the Hepatitis Education Project in

Seattle,Washington. <a href=http://www.scn.org/health/hepatitis/

personal level, if it wasn't for Uncle Dave, I would never

had the opportunity to connect with Joan King and our

fellow Canadian heppers back in 1997. My heartfelt

thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

<br><br>Sincerely, Sandi, webmaster of Sandi's Crusade Against

Hepatitis

passed away. His passing was announced by Sara Amber and

I am passing it along to you all. I feel great loss

at his passing and will miss my dear friend who went

with me to visit end stage patients in the Seattle

area.<br>We also were on the HEP education committee for a

while until he took his leave of absence and I formed

Frontline. He was a very devoted educator in the HCV world.

<br><br>Many of you may remember Dianna who lived in

Boston. She also passed the same day and almost the very

minute as Dave here in Seattle. Dianna was the

mother of a 14 year old son and had trouble getting her

transplant. Following the transplant she never accepted the

liver due to most likely a bone marrow transplant in

the past. <br><br>Thanks for hanging with us here at

Frontline. Take good care of yourselves and be happy. I

spent Sunday with to say goodbye and he and I

laughed so hard he coughed but he was in good spirits

then, even though he was near end stages. What a

trooper and a good friend. <br><br>His memorial is

Saturday, July 7, from 2-6 pm in south Seattle at the

Tukwila Community Center, located at 12424 - 42nd Ave. S,

phone 206-768-2822. It is a potluck. If you

are<br>anywhere near here, please come to pay final tribute to

one of our rock solid advocates for<br>patient care

and support.<br><br>Ane Palmo<br>Frontline
