Although we have never formerly meet, I feel I know you and consider you a dear friend. I don't know how I could have gotten through my brother's illness without you. You are so kind, always taking time to answer questions and offer reassurance. I can tell from the other messages that you have earned many jewels in your crown for you work on this website. I've not doubt your words of encouragement and hope will live on far past all of us.
Keep up the good fight!!!
Love ya,
Tonya

I think everyone has said it eloquently, but I want you to know I will always be thinking of you, praying for you and your family and holding all of my memories of you close to my heart. My life changed the moment I met you and my life became richer the day we met in person.
You are truly one of the greatest people I have met and I am honored to call you my friend.
With love,
Ed

It has been an honor to read your words for the past three years as I've travelled my Aunt's journey with her. May our great Lord hold you gently in the palm of His hand at this difficult time and bring you comfort and peace. My thoughts and my prayers are with you every step of the way.
You will NEVER be forgotten. I look forward to meeting you someday in paradise.
With the greatest respect and admiration,
