Thankyou one and all...

It's been a while since I've been able to bring myself to look at this page, but I thought one final posting was in order to thank everyone.

To anyone and everyone that assisted us with Mom's care, ran errands, made phone calls, helped us manage logistics and affairs in general, and/or provided good ol' moral support -- through what was certainly our most difficult time -- I offer a sincere Thank You!

Please know that although we may have been too busy or two distressed to express it at the time, we appreciate everything that everyone did to help. More so than you can imagine.

I don't plan any additional postings to this page, but I'm going to leave it up for the time being. Let this page stand as a remembrance of what Mom went through -- what we all went through -- during the last month-and-a-half or so of her life.

This page may also be informational for anyone who knows a victim of this horrid disease. Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer, which strikes so few but strikes so viciously, subjected our mother to unbelievable pain and suffering in weeks leading up to her death. If this page can help others prepare for what they may well have to deal with, then leaving it up is worthwhile.

Once again, thank you to all who assisted in any way, shape or form. We can't even begin to express the difference that it made in getting us through this ordeal.
