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.

Heartbreaking. This is so awful
This made me cry and when I hugged DH I didn't want to let go.
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.
My heart is heavy with sadness and i can't imagine her pain- she and her family are in my thoughts and prayers.
I hope she can find some peace.
