Hi Laurie, I was just going to send you an e-mail asking you how your friend was doing. Intuitively I thought to check out your website. I was deeply saddened to hear of Ken’s passing. I was deeply moved by your blog. Thank you for having the courage to share this with us as I know it was not an easy thing to do. My prayers are with you and also with Ken’s family. They are so blessed to have you as their friend, as I am as well.

Laurie,

It is never easy to lose someone we care about, but especially hard when it is so random, and one so in the prime of life. In the short time I’ve gotten to know you it has become clear to me that you are a person for whom friendship is a great and deep well. I’m certain your care, warmth and dedication were a comfort to Ken and continue to be a source of strength for those he left behind.

-David

Laurie,

Wow…this was a great article. I know from Preston’s death from this same cancer makes me very aware of how quick it can sneak up on you! 46……way too young! I love you cousin and thank you for ALL of your posts! You are the bomb on the internet!

Hugs,

Delaine

Thanks, Rebecca.

Kate, it’s so easy for your husband to get checked via endoscopy. A specialist will likely take your concerns very seriously because they are aware of the growth rate in the incidence of esophageal cancer. Heartburn can be a powerful early warning sign.

Stacie, it was a beautiful service. Very Ken.

Laurie,
Very well written and so necessary. I hate that I was unable to attend Saturday’s memorial service but thought of Tamara and Ken the entire day. I will be sharing Ken’s story to all I know!

Laurie, Sending you love and virtual hugs from Maine. I looked you up to ask a techie question and found your blog instead. You have motivated me to talk to my husband about his frequent heartburn. I thank you for sharing Ken’s story; you may have helped one person already, my own beloved.

I didn’t realize you were living, specifically, in Decatur! That’s where my brother lives, and another good friend as well. It’s good to know I might be able to see you so extremely easily next time I’m down.
Wishing you comfort and peace,
Kate
