Please pray for Berky and his family. I received word that he's not doing
very well, and the end is near. For those who don't know him, Berky (Maynard
Berkowitz) was very active in this group -- then took off for a while. He
will forever be "Berky the Warrior" (his former signature line) to me -- he
has fought this fight with such courage and bravery.

Thanks!

Love,
Trish

The "warrior" was one of the first, and most helpful, to respond to me when
I was diagnosed in 2000. My family wishes him and his family the very best
and we will have them in our thoughts. I hope his wisdom endures in his
posts and writings.

I understood he passed away earlier this summer. Is that not correct?

No, he's still hanging in there. I received that email notification yesterday
morning.

Well, check out:

See the bottom of the page. It says he passed away early summer. Are they
mistaken?? I sure hope so.

It's an error. I am in touch with a person who has speaking with him (or his
wife) by telephone.

I don't know Berky, but I have our cats purring for him and the rest of
us are sending out healing thoughts and wishes for him to feel better
soon.

Pam, Rob, and our nine NC cats

I guess it's appropriate to remind everyone of the booklet he helped
distribute to anyone who needed it. The online version of "Choices: Living
with Cancer, Dying with Dignity" is here:
