I haven't met any of you personally but I've talked on the phone to several of you. I'm Dinah's husband, Mike.
We lost Dinah early yesterday and my world is crashing in.
Dinah so loved this organization and cherished the friendships that she developed through this group.
Thank you for the friendship and love that you shared with Dinah and please don't ever let this wonderful support group stop.
Help Brian to maintain whatever is needed to keep this foundation working for the many people that so desperately seek help in this dread disease with your support ond friendship.
God Bless each of you.

Mike, although this news wasn't totally unexpected, it doesn't prepare us for the final news at all. Seems not that long ago Dinah and I were e-mailing back and forth about the get together in Vegas, and she was telling me she was heading to Bentonville for another visit with WM.
I hope she knew the success of the Vegas get together she helped plan, and with the sucess of that you can be rest assure that things will continue strong as ever. Dinah was really the person that found the venue, made the room arrangements, I was just the "money guy" and took over planning after she couldn't.
Dinah will be sorely missed by all of us, she was part of our "family."
Mike, you have our deepest sympathies, know that we're praying for you during this time.

Mike,
I am so sorry for the pain you are experiencing right now with Dinah's passing. She was truly a wonderful person and so generous with her time and compassion for others. The magic she worked to get all the Vegas planning underway was so appreciated. I know the road you both traveled has been a rough one and you both are real warriors in your battles with this horrible disease.
I am praying for God to deliver Dinah into His arms and to provide you with comfort and peace. My deepest sympathies to you.

Mike,
I am so sorry for your loss. Two years ago when I was in need of help and first discovered this forum, Dinah was one of the very first people to befriend me and offer love and support. I am very grateful for knowing her ( although only online and over the telephone ) and profoundly sad for your loss, and the loss to all of us.

Several times I have tried to come up with the words.... and have not been able.
Please know that your loss is deeply felt. I hope you are able to feel the support and love of all.
Mike,
I'm so sorry. I had a chill run through me when I read your post. Dina made an impact on my life and I will never forget that. I wish you peace through this very difficult time.
