Guest guest Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 To Kathy , Tiffinay Crumbliss and All Our PSC Friends: Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. Joe is so very missed by us all! Joe fought a valiant war, but in the end PSC and CC won. Damn them!This reply is so late in coming as I have been in Austin, TX for several months in a hotel room that had unreliable internet connections. I thank you all for your notes of sympathy and condolences.Tonight my husband, Bob and I returned home to Midland, TX with the bronze urn containing our son Joe's ashes. The urn has an eagle flying free above the mountains. We were faced with the beautiful pictures all about the house of Joe and his younger brother, Tom (age 30), at different ages and different stages of their happy, smiling, loving little lives, I felt a sorrow more gripping than I can express. I wanted to stare at their pictures, yet at the same time I wanted to take them down and put them away. But since I have not got any energy left from crying all the time, the pictures will stay up for now.Joe was well known and loved by those who knew him. I believe some of his friends are planning to prepare a benefit for PSC Partners in the future in Austin, Texas.Thank all of you for your support in the past year. I appreciate and empathize with every one of you. Keep up the good work. Let's keep working for a cure!Mother of Joe, UC 1987, JPouch 1999, PSC 03/2006, Acute Pancreatitis 03/06, CC 12/06, Failed Chemotherapy 1/07, Deceased age 33 03/26/07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Dear Joe's loss is felt by all of us, even though we never had the chance to meet him. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and emotions with us as you try to make some sense of this tragedy. I was very touched to hear from his friend Dawn about the benefit that Joe's friends are planning in his memory. Joe must have been a very special guy. My thoughts are with you, and I wish you some peace in the future. Please know that we will all continue the fight!!!
