Morning All,<br /><br />Feeling more like myself this morning.<br /><br />We are going to a Memorial Service today for a young man (42) who lost his two year battle with cancer.  He leave behind a young wife and two small children.  So sad.<br /><br />We did not know him well, but we did spend some time with him on our last Group Cruise in January, but he was in pain even then.  He went through every experimental treatment there is and still lost the battle.<br /><br />He and Roe even shared the same Doctor when she was getting  her referrals to Stanford in order.  And we ran into him at the office on one occasion and he and Roe kind of bonded because of shared problems.<br /><br />He requested to be moved to Hospice about two weeks ago.  Did not want to die at home where his kids could see it.<br /><br />Toward the end we were praying for it to be fast and painless for him and it appears to have been.  In your prayers tonight you might put in a word for the soul of Doug Sturgis.  He had a lot of heart and was one tough guy who fought this tooth and nail, but for whatever reason it was his time.<br /><br />Sorry to post such a downer this morning, but that is about all that is on my mind this morning.<br /><br />Later,
