I'm even paying the way for a brother who is too broke and too far away to get himself there.

It's sad that it takes a crisis to pull a family together again, but that's the way of the world these days, I hope that something positive can come out of your reunion. Warm Hugs Alayne > just got word that my father died this morning. he had pneumonia. his > heart was weakened from diabetes and it gave out Socks I am so very sorry about your father's death. My sincere condolences Sinead > just got word that my father died this morning. he had pneumonia. his > heart was weakened from diabetes and it gave out I'm so sorry, Socks. My thoughts will be with you and all the family, Please, please keep your pain procedure appointment. Hugs J >> just got word that my father died this morning. he had pneumonia. his >> heart was weakened from diabetes and it gave out [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Hugs > J One reply for all - he was 81 yrs old. he had diabetes. he lost a leg to it. he was senile and he had Alzheimers. he couldnt remember the names of his own children. When he was younger and intellectually alive, he had numerous patents to his name. He served as an officer in the US Merchant Marine with distinction during WW2, running supplies to England and the continent across the north Atlantic. That branch of the service reportedly had more casualties than any other branch of the US military. When it comes my time to talk at the service, that's what I intend to talk about. Anyone interested in helping with research pointers in the next 48 hours would be appreciated. I think he decided that his time had come to take his leave. I can't blame him.

And good luck with the Gemzar. Maybe I'm just too much of a worrier. I just noticed that Lowkey was dx'd with Stage IV CRC with "many, many liver mets" in yr 2000 and after of/off chemo, he was good until Fall 2000, so there's hope yet for much more time for you?
