No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making

I just read the update of James W. from his wife Terri. He lost his battle with cancer. With no e-mail given, I just want to use this means to convey tears and sympathy to Terri and family. We all feel your loss in a way only fellow victims can feel. Nothing anyone can say to change the outcome but these sad endings always bring to reality the seriousness of this disease. God bless James and be with his family as they adjust to their loss. Jon.
Thank you, Jon. I forwarded your message to Terri. I sent my own private message of condolences to her as soon as she contacted me and asked me to update James' story.
I won't distribute her e-mail address here, but anyone who wishes can send a note to me, and I will forward it to Terri and her family.
My deepest sympathy too to his wife and family. I have had this disease since 2014 and anything can happen. Worse still I am in a third world country (Zambia) where medical facilities are scanty and medicines inadequate. But so far God has been with me, but it is sad to lose a colleague due to this menace. May the One Above receive him with open arms, amen.
Thank you for your words, there are no words to express my devestation at this time. He fought hard, he never quit until he just collapsed, and hopefully someday they will find a cure for this wretched disease.
But I truly believe he is in a better place after all the pain he suffered for so long.
