William Thanet French, my beloeved Will, left me early Wednesday morning. I was alone with him at the end.
I don't know if there was more I could do. I tried – I am so sorry I could not give him what I so desperately wanted for him. Right now all I can feel is a tearing pain. The only comfort I have in any of this is that the pain, for Will, is over.

Lori,
I'm so sorry to read of Will's passing. And I'll answer your statement…no, there was nothing more that you could do. You did all that you could and I'm sure Will knew that. You were an awesome caregiver and support.

Lori I have read all your postings along the way, and was constantly amazed at what a caring advocate you were for Will. I can only hope that I have your inner strength and stamina, as I care for my husband during his battle with this disease. You gave Will hope,companionship, and love and what wonderful gifts those are. Stay strong and God Bless! I firmly believe Will is in a better place. Valerie (Phil's wife)

Lori, I am so sorry for your loss. Will was so blessed to have you but I'm sure you would say you were blessed to have him! You have been such an inspiration to me from the very first time I remember you coming on the board…you were always seeking more information to learn about melanoma treatments and ways to help Will. May the Lord be with you and all of Will's family and friends in the coming days.

Lori,
I am so sorry that Will lost the battle. You were the best advocate, caregiver and friend that anyone could want. Never for a minute doubt anything that you did. Along with that Will was a true fighter, never giving up.
Will is at peace, Shalom

Lori, I am so saddened to hear of the loss of Will.
You were a wonderful caregiver and fought for him when no one else would. I looked forward to your posting about Will.
There is nothing more you could have done for him because you did it all! You fought to get medicine for him and they gave it to him. You were by his side through his battle with the beast every step of the way. He was blessed to have you.

Lori,
I am so sorry to hear the news about Will. You both put up a courageous fight, right up until the end. You were the best friend and caregiver that Will could have had with him this entire time. My thoughts and prayers go out to you, your Family and Will's Family at this difficult time.
You worked tirelessly to get treatment for Will and you helped him considerably during the past year. Will's pain is now gone and he is in a better place. We can find comfort in knowing that he is happy and looking down on all of us in our journey with Mel.
God Bless.

Lori,
You gave Will a strong advocate, a ferocious fighter on his behalf, a guide to stand by his side. I truely believe that Will fought this long and hard because of you. You are an inspiration to all here and have set an example for each and every one of us.
As you wrote Will is without pain and overtime your pain will ease and be replaced by warm memories of the better times.
Love,

Lori,
I am very sorry for your loss of your dear friend Will. Reading your posts, it is clear that you did everything you could to help Will find effective treatments for this disease. Having been where you are now with a friend, I can tell you that as hard as we try, it is not always possible to beat it but that diminishes neither your efforts nor Will's. In spite of the odds, and the naysayers you encountered, you maintained hope to be able to do all you could for Will and support him through difficult treatments. Thank you for looking out for Will. You were both fortunate to have shared this friendship. May his memory be a blessing.

Dear Lori,
This is indeed a sad day, and my heart is breaking for you. You were such a warrior, fighting on Will's behalf, researching one option after another, fighting for trials and treatment. There is nothing more you could have done. You were both up against a formidible disease, and a slow health system shrouded in rules and time limits. I know you now feel pain and emptiness, but remember you have your memories to treasure, and I hope they will comfort you in your darker moments. You were a wonderful caregiver; Will was so blessed to have you. Please try to stay strong. I wish you nothing but peace and comfort.
Warm hugs

I am so sorry for your loss. Will was so lucky to have someone so very caring and loving in his life. We all know how hard you fought for him.

I am deeply sorry for Will's passing, and I am glad you were with him, but Lori, don't let the melanoma win against you too. It does not deserve anything more.
To echo King-you most certaintely did all you could, so don't let the melanoma win with you too because of Will's passing. I have followed your posts, and I know you did all you could as both a friend and caregiver. In my opinion, you even went above and beyond what his own family did for him, and you quite possibly gave him additional time he would not have had otherwise.
My condolences to you, and his family.

Lori,
I am so sorry for Will's passing. It is completely normal to feel some guilt at this time. When my first wife died in a car crash all I thought about for awhile was what could I have done to prevent it(she was the passenger and my father-in-law drove-it was his fault). I felt I didn't do enough and I surely should have recognized his symptoms of alzheimers. I took me awhile to get over it. I couldn't do anything more to prevent her death and neither could you for Will. You did all you could.
My point is give yourself permission to grieve the way you need to. I felt like part of me was ripped away and I was left with a gaping hole. It's normal to feel the way you're feeling. I pray that you allow yourself the time you need to grieve. God will be with you every step of the way and guide you.
In the peace of Christ,
Jim M.

I am so sorry for your loss. My Mom just passed on Saturday from Melanoma. I too wish there was more I could have done. But I guess we just have to know that we did everything we could and it was just their time to go. I won't tell you the pain you are feeling will get better because people tell me that and I'm not so sure at this point. All I can say is I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

I want to thank you all. I cannot tell you what your words mean to me, because I know you all understand what Will – and I – have gone through in a way no one else can.
He is having a service here in Chicago on Saturday. I had to write something to say there, and this is what I am going to say:
People are like letters in the alphabet. To form words, they need to combine with each other. When unlikely circumstances brought Will and I together, we formed an intensely close and very profound friendship. People sometimes commented on what I brought to this friendship but I wanted to make sure everyone who loves him knew what he gave to me.Will believed that improvement is far more important than perfection, and even when he was so terribly sick and so very tired, he continued to try hard to learn new things and improve his skills. During his last days in the hospital, he was still working on his vocabulary, still asking what unfamiliar words meant. He thanked me often; made sure I knew he appreciated things I'd done for him, and also let me know about those things I'd done he did not appreciate! The words, "I love you" and "I'm sorry" came easily to him when he felt them. The Talmud says "One who endeavors to perfect oneself succeeds" and despite circumstances that most of us cannot imagine, Willie never stopped trying to make himself and life better.Up until April of this year, he told me daily that he was thankful that he woke up every morning feeling good. This was something he told God and his friends he was grateful for. After April, he was no longer able to say this, and the quality of his life had begun slipping away. So every day, we worked together to find other things he could enjoy and be thankful for, to find a way to love life despite pain, fear, and uncertainty. I used to like to quote poetry to him and then we'd talk about what we thought they meant and these lines were ones that resonated particularly powerfully for both of us, up until the very end of this journey of his:"Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offeringThere is a crack in everythingThat's how the light gets in."Rabbi Luria taught that God created the world by forming vessels to hold the Divine Light. But as God poured the Light into the vessels, they shattered, tumbling down toward the earth, and there they hardened like clay, trapping this light. Humanity’s great task is free the divine light from these shards, restoring the broken light of the divine in the world. This is the heart of Jewish law, tikkun olam, to repair the world.William French brought this light into my life every single day I shared with him. Nothing I could ever do or give to him could come close to repaying the debt I owe him for that. -

Oh Lori, I am so very sorry for your loss. Your posts about you and Will touched me deeply as I went through the melanoma battle with my husband, Cal. As I have lost him recently I can understand some of your pain. You were (as I have said before) absolutely amazing as a caregiver and I believe that it is a supreme privelege to be able to assist a person through this most important passage. If you wish, please email me if you would like to talk/vent/cry/whatever.
God Bless,
Jule (Cal's wife)

I am finding myself wholly bereft in a way that I could not anticipate. Because Will and I had a rather unique relationship – he was mildly developmentally disabled and though fiercely independent, did require, especially in the past six months, help that was more typical of that one would give a child, he became, in a very real way, my own child. Because I was his primary emotional support, best friend, as well as caregiver, I found that every bit of my waking energy and focus was directed towards him; even when I was with other people or doing other things, all my love was going to him all the time. All my energy and thoughts were on how I could help him better.
As a result, obviously, large areas of my "previous" life got neglected, and some evaporated. Whether what I did was right or wrong seems irrelevant – I believed and still do that it was what needed done. But now I feel like I have been literally ripped in half. This will take an awful lot of time….
Here is a link to Will's obituary – I cannot remember if I posted it here or not. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/dailyherald/obituary.aspx?n=william-thanet-french-willie&pid=145823531

Lori, I am so sorry for your loss. Will was very lucky to have you with him throughout his journey. You did a great job of supporting him and always being there for him. I hope you have a great deal of support to help you with this loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers. With sympathy, Beth

My dearest Lori;
I cannot imagine anyone working harder nor more deligently on behalf of someone. If many of us had someone with 1/100th of your drive and willingness to push for us we would be very fortunate indeed. I know that these words do not ease your pain at the loss of Will, but over time the knowledge that you did all that anyone could imagine will be soome solace to you. My hat has been off to you throughout this long and ardous stuggle.
