      My dear loving husband lost his battle with melanoma on Thursday afternoon.  We were in the process of having him transferred from the hospital to a palliative care facility, but his vital signs became too unstable to move him. Even though he remained in the hospital, he was surrounded by his loving family and passed on peacefully and in no pain.  I can't imagine life without him, but I have to be strong and keep his memories alive in my heart forever.

      To all of you, I thank you for your support, enlightenment and advice, it truly meant the world to both of us.  Please keep my husband in your prayers, and fight this disease with everything you have. Even though it was too late for my husband, you can win your battle.

                                                                                         Bless you,

                                  Jo, I'm sorry the fight is over. I went back and re-read your messages about what he and you have been through. That he passed surrounded by his family and peacefully and in no pain is a blessing to him and you both, despite everything else. May you be strong in the days ahead.

                                                                    I am very sorry about your husband.  There is probably nothing anyone can say to comfort you right now.  I feel your pain, cries, hurt, and emotions.  I am still numb about the loss of my brother.  I will say, your husband and my brother were in very good care of Dr. Pavlik.  If she could not help them then it was God's will.  My thoughts are with you and your family.

                                                                    Susan…sister of Peter..12/6/12
