Do not stand at my grave and weep, "I am not there, I do not sleep." I am thousand winds that blow; "I am the diamond glints on the snow, "I am the sunlight on ripened grains; "I am the gentle autumn's rain. "When you awake in the morning's hush, "I am the swift uplifting rush "Of the quiet birds in circled flight. "I am the soft star that shines at night." Do not stand at my grave and cry.

Thinking of Larry's family and friends today. I know the loss is not a one time thing, it is ongoing. I lost my husband at age of 45 on 10/03 due to a pulmonary embolism post bariatric surgery. I am sorry for your loss. - wife of deceased member

<p><font color="#CC0099">A year ago today we lost a special member of this site, Larry Young.&nbsp; Lets all take a minute to remember Larry and all the other brave souls who set forth on this journey.&nbsp; I wrote the following poem upon hearing of Larry's death last year and thought I'd repost it in his honor:</font><p><font color="#cc0099" face="Lucida Sans">The angels gathered round to see,<br>a sight they'd never seen.<br>For there was a hole in heaven,<br>where one had never been.</p><p>&quot;How will we fill the hole?&quot;, they cried.<br>But one angel knew what to do.<br>I have an idea, the angel said,<br>and opened up a view.<p>The angel pointed down towards earth,<br>where a man lay slowly dying.<br>&quot;That man is big&quot;, the angel said,<br>and they could see he wasn't lying.<br>&quot;He's big of heart and big of courage,<br>of that there's no denying.&quot;<p>So the angels gathered round his bed,<br>to gently hold his hands.<br>And when the time was right,<br>escorted him from this land.<br>As they rose, that generous heart,<br>it started to expand.<br>For to fill a hole in heaven,<br>it takes a mighty good man.<br><p>Godspeed, Larry</p></font>

I am sorry to hear of your loss. My condolences are with you and your family. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

I feel the need to explain...Larrys blood gases were fine...they showed no chance of pnuemonia...Larry died of a pulmonary embolis...there was no way to stop it or even know it was about to happen...I have nothing but positive things to say abt Dr Husted andhis staff.
