A Very Sad Update

RivieraBound sent me a message this morning to let me know that Mike passed away yesterday morning in his sleep.  She is, of course, devastated, but relieved that he is no longer in pain.  He described chemo as "a year long flu", and she is glad that he no longer has to endure the chemo, radiation, vomiting and pain.

She said a big thank yo to everyone on the board who has been thinking of and praying for them, and she will get online soon herself.  Mike's calling hours will be Tuesday night and the funeral in Wednesday, and then she is going to NC for Christmas and New Years.

I am planning on going to calling hours, and will post the information on here for anyone else that would like to go. Thank you all again for your thoughtfulness and generosity.

  • I'm really sorry to hear this news.  I feel awful for RB and her family.  This is the worst news, especially around the holidays.  I hope that the family can gather around and remember all the good times they had with him.  Please send hugs to RB for me Moxy.

  • I am so sorry for her and her family.  Please post the calling hours.  It's a longshot that I could go but I might be able to.  Even though she doesn't know me IRL .

  • I am so terribly sorry for her loss. It breaks my heart to think that someone has to go through this, especially this time of year. At least he can finally be at peace and out of pain.
  • :( so sad.  I will keep her in my thoughts during this difficult time.  It is comforting to know that he will no longer feel all the pain anymore.

    Depending on what time calling hours are.  I would like to go.  I have to work until 6:30, so hopefully I will be able to go.  Let me know what time it is when you do find out. Maybe a few of us could car pool.  

  • Just so heartbreaking. My thoughts will be with her and her family during this time.
