DETAILS: Last week we lost a wonderful man, (aka " hubcap_halo " ),

to this horrific illness that so many of us struggle with. was an

amazingly supportive and upbeat man who was constantly striving to move in a

positive direction towards health and wellness, along with the rest of us.

We understand how hard 's life must have been, living a decade and a half

with ME/CFS/Lyme -- so hard that he finally decided he was better off not

struggling any longer. This was a shocking and deep blow to all of us, even if

we did not know personally. As individuals and as a community, it will

take us time to grieve and heal.

Please feel free to join us as we begin to do just that at this Memorial (and

Healing) Service for , where we will fondly remember our much loved

community member.

Since you did not need to have known personally to feel the impact of

his loss, you also do not need to have known him personally to now feel welcome

to come to his Memorial Service.

During the call, those who wish can share a few minutes of fond memories of

, or perhaps appropriate quotes from 's health forum posts over

the years. There is no need to sign up in advance, just come ready to share if

you want to.

NOTE: Unfortunately, our gathering will not be able to offer personal

counseling services to those who are in need. But we sure understand the need!

So we urge you to not give up hope and please seek help. For those feeling like

the pain and suffering is unbearable, this is a good place to start:

handsome he was; his last post was that he was extremely grateful.
