Although we have never met physically, I sure feel like we have. Through your inspirational advice and encouragement I have seen so many members of the OCF benefit from your input here. I know that you will continue to fight and I pray that things will not get any tougher than they are right now. Peace be with you. Jerry

I just checked in on the boards to check in on you and I want you to know that my family and I are praying for you and your family. We are so glad that we got to meet you and felt that we made a true friend. You have helped so many during their journeys with this terrible disease and I wish that I had your gift to be able to ease your journey. Please know that I love you, Danny Boy, and I will keep praying for your comfort and peace.
Love,
