      My sweet husband, Cal, a former Navy and airline pilot, is now flying in Heaven.  I thank all of you for the information and inspiration that we have received over the last 10 months of this grueling journey.  I wish all of you hope, love and healing.

                                                  Oh Jule I was so afraid of that  when you had not responded to my e-mail.  I can't even begin to tell you how I am feeling right now especially knowing the pain your going through.  I can say it has been a great blessing exchanging  e-mails and leaning on each other for support through this Ipi trial.  My prayer is that God will give you grace to get through this.  I know I will be wearing your shoes at some point and time.  We just don't know when.  Please take care and continue to e-mail me from time to time.

The doctor told us that this disease strikes pilots frequently and we've know quite a few who have lost their battle with Melanoma- I'm so sorry that Cal was taken by this horrible disease. Your loss is devastating and I wish you peace and comfort at this time.

I know you will be comforted knowing you had such a big part helping Cal fight this miserable beast. I lost my dear Ron to the beast almost 10 years ago, and the pain comes back everytime I see another strong ,productive person has become a victim. Please feel free to make contact in the future. The next while will be difficult, and then you will have to start building a new and different life, take good care of yourself..and never feel guilty or selfish doing it. Love to you…Joan
