One more  thing...this is a tremendous shock to all....and please 
understand the meaning  behind my words....when our time is up.....it is a blessing 
to go  quickly....and not to suffer through treatments and 'procedures' which 
may buy  time but at the cost of pain and stress....and knowing the outcome 
is just  being delayed. 

the loved ones left behind can take comfort that this  was not a long, 
lingering death, as was my husband's and many others.....Quick  is harder for us 
but easier for our loved one....and not one among us would  wish suffering 
on our loved one.

so as we cry and remember, and laugh  and remember, let's be grateful if he 
suffered  little.
