I heard from Callie and she wrote. . . "Don isn't doing well. He's in the final stages of life. They're giving him a couple of days." Please remember them in your thoughts and prayers. Callie is so young, with 2 small children to be going through this.
Oh Terri, I'm glad Callie contacted you. I too have been concerned for her and her family. This just sucks. I really hate this awful disease and what it does to some. I will continue to say prayers for them and keep them in my thoughts.

Dear Callie,
It breaks my heart to hear this news. Thank you for thinking of letting us know what happened.
I wish for you and your little ones to feel moments of peace, joy, and comfort during this incredibly sad time.

Dear Callie, I am truly sorry to hear this news but glad that Don is at peace and no longer suffering. Your nightmare , I know goes on. Treasure all your memories and your lovely children. Thinking of you, Tammy.
Callie,
I am do sorry to hear your news. My brother died accidentally when he was in his early thirties, and I remember watching his wife bear the grief and continue on to raise their three-year-old daughter as if it were yesterday. That was other thirty year ago, and although I still miss my brother greatly, memories of the good times come to the fore, and we all take pleasure in seeing what a fine young woman his daughter become. I will light a candle in memory of your dear Don, and pray for comfort and peace for you and your children.

Please except my condolences on your loss!! Semper-Fi Bob
God bless you, Callie. You were a wonderful caregiver for Don. It is horrible when this terrible disease claims another one of our brothers or sisters.
Callie I am so sorry! Hug your children a little extra and realize Don will continue to live through them. They are here for a reason!
Callie, there are just no words at this difficult time to ease your hurt. I am so, so sorry for your loss. Don will live on through your children. In time may your love-filled wonderful memories together shine on. Hugs, Wanda
So sorry. Hate reading this...so sad. Take care and keep your head up! Keep his memories in your heart.
Callie
So sorry for you and the children. Prayers, thoughts and hope for you in this time of tragedy & loss

Callie:
I can't even read all this thread thru my tears. I am sincerely sorry for your loss. Don's pain and suffering has ended. Yours has not. My heart breaks for you. I was a caregiver for my sister who died of breast cancer in July, 2007; then for my Dad who died of bladder cancer in May,2009; and once again for my bro-in-law who died of pancreatic cancer in April, 2010. Then....... I became the next victim in February, 2011.
It was much harder being a caregiver than being the sick one. I won't say 'time heals all wounds' cuz I really hated when people said that to me. Truth be told, many people just don't know what to say.
I still miss my family members everyday and, in fact, just this past weekend my daughters and their families were over and we were looking at old pictures. Made me cry so hard at first, then those sobs actually turned to laughter as we all remembered funny times. And, believe me, my family is crazy.
So what I'm saying, is that I've been where you are now and will do everything I can to help you thru this, should you ask. You will get thru it. For Don and especially for your little ones.
You'll be in my prayers.
-Wendy
