Sad day today! - 09-16-2013 05:33 PM
It is with a heavy heart that I must pass along the news of another one of our flock passing away. Brendan Hanavan lost his long battle with oral cancer today and passed away at home. Brendan's sister Deirdre notified me and asked me to pass this sad news along. Here is what she wrote to me and Cheryl.....
My brother Brendan Hanavan died peacefully at home today after an unbelievably courageous fight against a vile and aggressive form of oral cancer . He was so brave and uncomplaining right to the end . It is a truly dreadful disease and the open tumour on his neck was horrific . I know he found great comfort and encouragement from the OCF and I cannot praise the professionalism of this site too much. I don't know the correct procedure to pass on this news but I know that you and Cheryl were such a support to him over the last 2 years. Deirdre
