Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / January 2004Sad News - Berky
With great sadness, I must tell you all that my father has lost his battle with cancer today. He passed away this morning at about 8:15 AM. He had a quiet and peaceful night. This morning he just took a couple big breaths and he was gone. My mother and I were here in the room. My brother was taking my cousin to the airport so we are sorry that he was not here at the time - but my brother has been taking it very hard and maybe this was better. We opened the window so his soul could fly, something my cousin asked that we do. Thank you all for your kind words and prayers, I think they made a difference in his last hours. My father was always one to lend a hand to friends and neighbors, so please take the time to lend a hand to someone as you go through life. With love and sadness, from the family of Berky, the Warrior my eyes are moist as i read the words and knowing what the family has gone through. now, they have one of the best warriors on their team - lead on berky. ~ curtis knowledge is power - growing old is mandatory - growing wise is optional Can I please let him fly free! He deserves his freedom. Today I caught fish at low tide in the Pacific Ocean, and the Sea was rough, and the fishing was not good. I did manage to catch one fish which after a while and not catching others, I let the fish go. That was the best I felt. Let the fish go. I believe Maynord can now look on us and being free from all life trauma, is free. Like the fish, he is free. He helped me a bunch, and sorry the news came. John Loomis, just a friend.

I've only been here a short time, but I've read some of Berkey's writings as well as others comments about him, all of which should make you very proud to be his daughter.

California 40 Proton Beam Radiation Treatments Loma Linda Univ.Med Ctr..3/03-5/03 To Berky's Family... My husband and I are so saddened by your news. Berky was a big part of my husband's positive attitude in the last year and a half. Berky's postings made a lot of the anger inside my husband dissipate. I hope you find some small comfort in knowing that he helped so many. What a wonderful man he was. We will never forget him. Lee Beverly: Thanks for this message and all that you have contributed to this NG. I have a feeling that you like the rest of us received inspiration from Berky's example. His spirit will continue on with the members of this group. --Carroll in TX (I have just completed 42 IMRT treatments today) > With great sadness, I must tell you all that my father has lost his battle > with cancer today.
