Joe, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.  I've followed your posts and have been amazed at the true love that both you and Kelly had for each other.  It carries over in all the posts that both of you made.  Thank you for showing me that true love does exist.  Kelly is in heaven and you will need to deal with the pain of her loss in your life.  Treat yourself gently in this most difficult time.  Chris

Joe, I have followed Kelly's journey daily.  I am so sorry for your loss.  I know that no matter what we write it will not take away the pain.  You where an amazing husband to Kelly and I know that she'll be watching over all of us in heaven.

Joe -

My condolances on your loss. It's been a long hard fight, and I'm glad at least that the trials and tribulations she has been through are finally over. I wish that they could have ended in a joyous life, but death is another form of healing, and God has granted her what her physical body could not - a true and pure healing of body and soul.

Know that even though you may not need to post daily updates on Kelly, this is still your home and you are one of us. Rest, cry, grieve, and feel free to share *your* trials and tribulations with us, as you have Kelly's over the last six months.

I'm so sorry to hear of Kelly's passing.  Please know how much she was loved.  Kelly was instrumental in my research phase this summer, helping me with any/all information she could give.  I will never forget her..... Missy

Oh, God... Joe... I’m so very sorry! This is terrible news and I’m personally at a complete loss for words. You, and countless others here could have not been more supportive of your dear wife. Your efforts and caring were truly inspirational. I can’t imagine how you must feel, but this is personally very troubling for me. Me, who can always seem to find away to compartmentalize terrible news like this. Not this time. This time it’s personal. Thank you for being there for, Kelly, and for all selfless sacrifices you’ve made. You will serve to be a model for all that came before you on what is possible from a loving supportive spouse. I’m not sure sainthood quite even captures it. May God be with Kelly and with you and yours. Rock

Joe, I am so very sorry for your loss. You have been such a good husband through all of this and so good at keeping us updated. I am glad you had the time with her to say good-bye.....but I am very sorry that you had to. My heart is breaking for you and both of your families. Dianne from FL
