Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 , I am very sorry for your loss. Ron has been very ill so I am a bit behind on my mail. I admired alot, and recieved alot of hope and comfort from him. Tammy 's last update Hi everyone, this is 's wife posting a final update on . He died peacefully in his sleep Saturday night sometime between 7 and 9 pm while snoozing in his favorite chair in our living room. I'd lit a fire log and my daughter and I were reading books so very warm, quiet and comfortable setting. We had thought he was just sleeping, so we were trying to be quiet and leave him alone to rest. Friday morning his foot was even more swollen and it was extremely hard for him to get from our bed to his chair. He never left the chair. I wanted him to go to the hospital as his foot was starting to look purplish and he was getting little bruises on his arms. He was also rather confused and I was afraid his oxygen was low. But he refused to go (I can't pick him up to carry to the car)so just waited. I think way down deep he must have felt like time to go and most comfortable at home. My biggest regret was not recognizing what was happening and telling him goodbye and 'I love you.' It was surprising how fast he faded in those last few days. He fought a good fight for as long as possible and his legacy is this board where so many others in our position can share information, support and hope. While I haven't been able to keep up with the posts, I know many people have gotten so much help with so many of the questions associated with this nasty diease. I wish everyone else the best of luck with all their struggles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 Dear , I am so very sorry to read about 's passing. My sincere condolences to you and your daughter. I have been away for about three weeks and came back to 723 emails. I picked up something early on about and was scrolling down to read his emails first (as i usually do--because they are always so informative) It came as quite a shock and I just cried for him and you and my anger at this disease. was always so helpful to all on this board, always answering questions and leading us to information that was so helpful. I will miss him dreadfully. Eventho I never met him, I felt as if I knew him. I will always remember him and my prayers are with you and your daughter. Sincerely, Gurlstar (Betty) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
