Al,

With profound sadness I offer my sympathy to you and your entire family. It's amazing how a heart can ache so profoundly for someone so far away whom I have never met. Yet this forum has forged such a strong bond among us. Linda's courage and determination were, and always will be, an inspiration to all of us afflicted by this disease. Thank you, Al, for allowing us to know Linda and you. I join the many others in offering you and your family prayers.

Cynthia

To Al and your family

Dear Al,
I also want to extend my deepest sympathies to you and your family. The two of you have been continuously in my thoughts these past few days, and I share the sentiment of others on this forum. We care and feel so close to you, although we have never formally met. You willingness to continue to be part of our support group brought tears to my eyes. I hope the next few days, weeks, months, years, will be good to you, and that you will find support with your wonderful extended family.

My sympathy to you and your wonderful family. I feel that I have come to know you both through my time here on this board. Linda was lucky to have such a loving supportive husband and you are lucky to have had such a incredible wife and friend.

Dear Al,

There are not words to express my sorrow for your loss. I know how dearly you loved Linda through your posts. Linda was very lucky to have someone so smart, so supportive and so dedicated by her side. May God help you to hold onto the promise that you will meet again.....in another time, in better tomorrow, free of all sickness. I pray angels of love are surrounding and supporting you and your family.

With deepest sympathy,
RobinP

Will try this again as I posted this morning but may have hit the wrong button. My heart goes out to you. As Steph posted earlier I thank Joe and Christine for having known you in San Antonio. I am over whelmed over all that has transpired since that time. It has been a whirl wind for you Al. I am happy to hear you say you will continue to stay with us. I think some feel once their loved one is gone they no longer belong on this board and that is not true. You were so sweet to send us a post so soon with all that you are going through. Please keep us updated on how you are doing. I will continue to pray for you and your family as you start your new journey. Sending you a big hug, Sandy

Al,

Words can not express the sorrow that both Christine and I feel for your loss.
It seems like just yesterday that we all were in San Antonio together.

Deepest Sympathy
Christine and Joe

Linda

Al,
I want to extend my condolences to you. I cried as I read your touching e-mail. What a partner you had in one another and to think that you will continue her fight moves me. I am so impressed with you devotion, your loyality and both of your courage to put up such a fight. You were in unity until the end.
May God be with you both,
Annemarie
