~Mighty Oak Has Earned His Wings And Halo...
My Mighty Oak just passed at 1:25 on October 16, 2009. I write in my fighting color because although an end to his body, his soul and mine will continue to fight breast cancer.
I thank you all for joining us on this horrific journey, for sharing your love and education. We could have never done this without you all. I know I am already forgiven for my abscence from my family for the time to come.
I will post funeral plans as I know some have inquired. I am so relieved for him, his fight has been anything but simple. For the lives I am about to save and prolong at work in the cancer foundation, I do it in his honor....in all of your honors, for the memories of those we have loved and lost.
Please accept a special thank you for the newbies and quiet family that have stepped to the plate to let their voice be heard at the times I have needed it the most. For the outpour of help and offers of rides....for loving me through the worst moments of my life. I love you all!
Thank you Ed, for teaching me things even moments before your death. I will be alright until we meet again and that all comes from loving you! I will continue to make you proud! I love you forever!
Marie...aka Believe51!!!
