Just Heard From Al

[aquinis2000]

JUST HEARD FROM AL THIS MORNING.............. HERE IS HIS E-MAIL....


Dear Toni,
Thank you for your kind words and thoughts, things weren't going well at the hospital so we brought Linda home to die. You may post this on the board if you wish.
Take care,
Al

LETS ALL LIFT THEM UP TO THE LORD IN PRAYER. GOD BLESS YOU

[CherylS]

Yes, indeed. May their hearts be comforted by His presence and His peace.

[Vi Schorpp]

Al and Linda, I'm so sorry...I've been following your posts and progress. My spouse passed on April 9th at home. It was his wish to be at home and we thought we'd do this for him as long as we could. It was a very emotional experience, very gut wrenching and beautiful -- but I can tell you that I would do it again without a doubt. We had hospice for 11 days, and that was a godsend...I pray for peace for you and Linda. I know this is hard.

[DeborahNC]

My heart goes out to you Al and Linda.

[tricia keegan]

I'm so sorry.God bless you both and help you ans Linda through this awful time.Praying for you.
Love

I hope your memories of Linda bring you some measure of happiness and peace. God blessings to both of you.

[Lolly]

Dear Al and Linda; I don't have a religious affiliation but am a spiritual person, and in that spirit offer a prayer for Linda:

"Hush! my dear, lie still and slumber,

Holy angels guard thy bed!

Heavenly blessing without number

Gently falling on thy head."

Issac Watts - Divine Songs



Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers

Dear Al

As always, you are in my thoughts. I wish there was more I could do for you and your family. If you need anything at all, please contact me.

Kind regards

Dear Al,

I wish I had words to bring you comfort, but I doubt they exist. I wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you, Linda and your family. I wish you all peace during this time, and marvel at all that you've done to lessen Linda's burdens.

Words cannot express the sadness I feel for the two of you. You have shared so much of your life, hopes, dreams, and helped so many people who visit this site. I feel as if I know you, although we have never met. The two of you will continue to be in my thoughts.
Barbara H.

[Julie2]

I am feeling very sad as I know you since I started coming on this board and I prayed so much that Linda should become normal. I am really sorry for you Al, you tried so much. I wish all the best to you and Linda and the family.

Dearest Al and Linda,

May God give you comfort and peace on the journey you are about to experience. Al, you have been such an incredible inspiration to me as you cared for Linda, and fought alongside her each step of the way.

Linda, wherever you are at this moment, I find myself envious of you, as you are about to experience the greatest mystery of life, and receive the gift that God has promised for all of us. Be calm on your journey to the stars, and enjoy your much-deserved rest when you arrive at your destination. You will continue to comfort Al and all of us as a true angel of God. May you feel all of our prayers and warmth as you make the transition to a world with neither pain nor fear, only the peace of everlasting love and light.

God Bless and keep both of you. I wish we could be by your side....

Love to both of you,
Tom and Mom

[suzan w]

peace to you both

[Montana]

I am crying for you Al and Linda. Love to you both.

[Tracy]

You are both in my prayers.

[Cathya]

Al;

You have been a source of strength, information and dedication to Linda and by that a light to all of us who share Linda's journey to whatever end. I will be praying for you and Linda and your family. How wonderful of you to take Linda hope to be a peace there with her loved ones around her. God bless.

Cathy

[Sandy H]

Al it is so hard to believe that so much has happened to you and Linda since I saw you Dec. in San Antonio. You were both in my prayers and I prayed for a miracle of healing for Linda and I am really sad that it didn't happen. You did all you could for her, fought for the best treatment, did research, gave her comfort, was an inspiration to her. May you heal from precious memories as you move on into a new journey. Sending you a big hug and many, many prayers. The Bible says in St. John 14:3 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. Just think a mansion and no pain or tears, this body gone forever. Sandy

[Andi]

Al and Linda - my prayers are with you - may you find comfort in the Lord.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Al,

My prayers and thoughts are with you, Linda and your family. I don't know you or Linda personally, but as we are all in this together there is a sense of family. I pray that Linda does not suffer too much and that God gives you and your family and other loved ones the strength to carry on. I will continue to pray for all of you.

God Bless.

Sincerely,

Liz J.

[TriciaK]

Al, there isn't really anything to add to all these loving comments, except to say my heart, too, goes out to you. You both have truly "fought the good fight and finished the course". You have been such an inspiration to all of us, even in this saddest of times. Our thoughts and prayers and tears are with you. I hope that sometime in the future we can hear how things are going for you, Al. God bless you both. I absolutely believe you will be together again on the other side. My daughter had a long out-of-body experience and saw that other side in great detail, and her experiences have brought all our family great comfort. With love and deepest sympathy, Tricia

[al from Canada]

Thank you all for your prayers, kind words and well-wishes. It has been 2 weeks since Linda has become "non-responsive" and 8 days since we have had to remove IV fluids due to fluid build-up in the lungs. I will journal Linda's journey at a later date however...as in life, Linda's end journey defies all predictions and odds. I have tried to make some sense of this and can only conclude that Linda wants to spend as much time with us as she can. When the time comes, my feeling is that; for what ever reason, my angel is going back to the nest for a far greater and more important purpose. I can only support her to the end and ensure her passage is in good company.

Al

[StephN]

Thanks for taking a moment to put in a word or two, Al.
You know how we truly feel toward Linda and you.
And, having met Linda just at the beginning of this last battle, I know how much spunky pride she had and how much you two supported each other even in so many unspoken ways.
Your report of Linda's ability to hang on just confirms how healthy she was otherwise then the cancer.
Go through all the processes associated with the passing of a loved one knowing you are far from alone in this.

[CLTann]

Another shining star who fought with her best. Our prayer for both of you.

Ann

[Audrey]

Al, keeping you and Linda in my prayers tonight. Peace be with you both...

[Barbara2]

May God comfort you both. May you feel his guidance, strength and presence during this very difficult time. Many prayers are being said for you. God bless......

Al & Linda - You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Lisa

[Lisa]

Al,

I am truly speechless. The information literally took my breath away. There is no rhyme or reason for any of this.

Mel and I can't begin to know how you feel, but we can share in your sorrow. Hold Linda tight and feel her immense love for you.

Please give Mel a call when you need to talk.

Love and light,

Lisa and Mel

[sherri]

Dear Al,

I don't know what to say, we are so sad. Please kiss Linda for me and tell her she is in our heart forever and we will meet in a better place. I wish you peace and think about you and Linda.

[Rozebud]

Al, my heart breaks for you reading this. May God's loving arms welcome Linda into her eternal resting place, and lovingly embrace you and give you peace during this time. Rose

[kristen]

Dear Al and Linda,
I am so sorry. I never thought it would come to this. I will pray that Linda is comfortable and crosses easily to her Makers' Kingdom and I will also pray for you and your family.
God Bless, Al.

[jhandley]

My thoughts and prayers are with you and Linda on this final part of the journey. Just remember that "death ends a life but not a relationship".

[Lyn]

Al, I was so saddened when I read your post, this is a Shi@#$y Disease and it sucks, and never discriminates and will never be accepted. You both fought very hard and gave us your knowledge along the way, for which we are all grateful, it is not you or Linda, it is Linda's body that just can't take anymore, both your love and devotion is stronger than any earthly being and I hope peace will find you both.


Love always Lyn

I am not good with words but I just wanted to say that I am thinking of you and Linda very much.
