Sad News

[Guest guest]

I hear so much about this cottage cheese and flaxseed oil. How do you combine

the two. Are they taken together or separate. Thank you

In Love & Light,

[Guest guest]

I am so sorry to have heard the sad news about our dear friend Pat...she must

be looking down from heaven and smiling at all of trying to do our best to

help others with a common need. Rest in peace Pat.

I'm sorry to hear about Pat. I have seen others that have become symptom

free through the use of natural nutrition and then thought they were healthy

and didn't need that nutrition anymore. I believe most of us know that when

we find something like this that works it is because the body needs that

nutrition. We can't stop eating, drinking, and breathing, and neither can we

stop the nutrition that is helping us get better.

Our prayers are with all who are dealing with these complex diseases.

GOD BLESS & HAVE A HEALTHY DAY Eddie

That's funny. :-)

Dora,

I feel the same way about my mother as you do about your 6th grade teacher.

77 years on this earth isn't bad -- especially considering the myriad of

health problems my mother has endured over the past 20 years. She never let

anything get the best of her and always greeted the most difficult times in

her life with determination and a positive attitude. I hope I can follow her

example by doing the same.

Sandy and Trish,

I am so sorry to hear about your dad. My heart hurts for you. The death of a

parent is very very hard. Please know that my prayers, thoughts and love are

with you. Take very good care of yourselves during this time. Your mother and

family will be in my prayers as well.

That is sad news and a touching story. But I'm sure I've heard of people

with Ds older than 67 or 68.

So, I don't know what Guinness recorded nor how many they had had at

that point.

<< One of Alf's proudest moments was in May when , then aged 67, was

recognised by Guinness as the oldest living man with Down's syndrome. He

went on to extend the record by 215 days.>>

But snips from

http://www.nads.org/pages_new/donate.html

<<We also serve adults with Down syndrome and we were privileged to know

and love the oldest person with Down syndrome, a beautiful lady who

lived to be 84.>>

Could be same person referenced in

http://www.ladss.org/Down%20Syndrome%20Newsletter%20Quarter%202004d.pdf

<<One good example that illustrates that not all

persons with Down syndrome go on to develop

Alzheimer's is that of Ms. of the Chicago

area. Ms. lived a rich, full life and was still

functioning well without apparent signs or

symptoms of dementia when she died of

complications from a broken hip at the age of 83 in

1994. She was believed to be the oldest person

with Down syndrome living in the U.S.>>

And from

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=pubmed & uid=12431254 & cmd=showdetailvi\

ew & indexed=google

<<The present study was based on a continuous cohort of 1332 people with

Down's syndrome in Western Australia, registered for intellectual

disability services between 1953 and 2000. Their life expectancy was

58.6 years, 25% lived to 62.9 years, and the oldest living person is 73

years of age. Life expectancy for males was greater than females by 3.3

years. The substantial increase in survival across the study period

means that the life expectancy of people with Down's syndrome is

approaching that of the general population, but accompanied by a range

of significant mid-life health problems.>>

MARGARET'S RECORD BID

'Oldest' Down's woman

By Mccartney

A SCOTS woman is about to join the record books - by being the oldest

person in the world with Down's syndrome.

Margaret , of Broughty Ferry, near Dundee, is 75 - seven years

older than the entry in the Guinness Book of Records.>>

And from

http://medranotriolife.blogspot.com/2007/07/oldest-possible-person-living-with-d\

s.html

<<And she believes the dark-haired man, at 71, might just be a

record-holder.

“They think he’s the oldest man in the world with Down Syndrome,” she said.

It’s possible.

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the oldest man living

with Down Syndrome is 67-year-old on in the United Kingdom.

The oldest woman with Down Syndrome is Siddoway, 69, of West

Jordan, Utah. Now, Warren said, the family of Tom “Conway Twitty”

Arrington is interested in getting him listed in the record books.>>

And from

The oldest DS person living in Ireland is 74 years old.

<<The oldest DS person living in Ireland is 74 years old.>>

But no need to tell any of this to the on family. -- Bob

I think 85 is the record; perhaps he was the current oldest living

person with DS.

Jeanine, this news makes me *so* sad. Please know that you're in my heart,

thoughts, and prayers. I wish that I could do more for you and your family.

I am so glad that she's no longer suffering ~ that has to be somewhat of a

comfort ~ but I can't imagine the pain of losing a sister. Please know that

we are all here for you. It sounds like her passing was peaceful and quiet,

so that has to be a little bit of comfort, too, maybe. So sorry for your

terrible loss.

Dear Jan -

I am deeply sorry to hear of your loss. May the many wonderful

memories of your husband bring you joy and peace during the difficult

times.

I have just received my first ICD in July of this year. I am 47 years

old, single mother of 2 great kids. I've been dealing with my heart

disease since the age of 16. This website and the folks associated

with it are bringing me the reassurance to not fear the unknown of

being "zapped". I trust they have been a wonderful part of yours and

your husbands lives.

Again, please accept my condolences.

Stay strong and may God continue to bring you peace.

Regards,

Becky

As some of you know, Doug had been an active participant in Zaplife,

both through Chat and through e-mail, in the late 90's and to a lesser

extent in more recent years.

Doug received his first ICD in 1998,

and we've both been so grateful through the years for all the support,

information, and laughs shared through Zaplife. Huge thanks to Jon

Duffey, whom we had the pleasure of meeting in 2002, for all he has

Though our hearts are heavy, they're

also grateful for the wonderful care Doug had at Mass General and for

all the kindness & support of family and friends.

Wishing you all the best.....

Dear friends,

This is Doug's wife at the keyboard, writing with the sad news that Doug, 65, passed away on August 15 at Mass General Hospital in Boston. The cause of death was heart failure. As some of you know, Doug had been an active participant in Zaplife, both through Chat and through e-mail, in the late 90's and to a lesser extent in more recent years.

Doug received his first ICD in 1998, and we've both been so grateful through the years for all the support, information, and laughs shared through Zaplife. Huge thanks to Jon Duffey, whom we had the pleasure of meeting in 2002, for all he has done for ICD patients and their families.

Though our hearts are heavy, they're also grateful for the wonderful care Doug had at Mass General and for all the kindness & support of family and friends.

Wishing you all the best.....
