Most of you were not here when was with us but he was a lot like that too. New people would come on and he would gently guide them through the early days and help empower them with knowledge and his own personal strength. It is easy for us to ask WHY and feel that they died in vain. While I can't argue that they should not died of this damned disease. and Joe certainly did not die in vain! They fought the good fight and gave/give every one of us the strength to go on. The way they lived and died taught us lessons about life and relationships, what is important and what is not. Cancer is mostly awful but it is also a great equalizer. It doesn't give a damn whether you are male or female young old rich poor black white red yellow or purple, gay or straight, Christian Jew Muslim pagan or nothing at all. If all of us are equal and joined in this damned disease then why do separate ourselves in the rest of our lives? Ahh maybe there in lies the only true good we can gain from all this. To love one another while we share our lives together in whatever circumstances we find each other. Narice Narice...this is beautiful...and I suggest you write something very similar in Joe's guestbook for his family and loved ones to treasure.
