Guest guest Posted April 14, 2000 Report Share Posted April 14, 2000 Dear Gloria, If it is Earl's time, then I pray with you that he will slip gently away in your arms. I know that love transcends death and that you will see him again. I also pray for you that the love you have shared will comfort you in some way and that you can treasure the happy memories in your heart. I ask the group to think of Gloria and Earl and their family at this time. We love you too Gloria, Chris. On Fri, 14 Apr 2000 PaleGrnPts@... wrote: > Earl is not doing well at all.

Gloria, The chances of the AP helping Earl were questionable right from the start due to the advanced state of the disease. Earl had scleroderma. The AP probably did prolong his life though. I've had a number of people with scleroderma contact me about the AP who still felt good so, against my advice, decided to wait until they had more symptoms before starting treatment. Unfortunately, scleroderma can 'go south' overnight and that is what happened in each of these cases. When that happens there is no return. We need to so live our lives that when our turn comes we have no regrets and are ready to meet our Creator. Ethel Ethel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 15, 2000 Report Share Posted April 15, 2000 Snooks, any success stories you might parlay out way after this message regarding scleraderma? I don't mean the ones here on the net but just average folks you have known or know. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2000 Report Share Posted April 30, 2000 Gloria, I am very sorry to hear about Earl, I hope that the family will be okay. I know there isn't anything that can really be said to make things better right now. I do know one thing though and that is that he is not in pain anymore. Blessings and Peace, Sherry >Earl died this morning at 7:15.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2000 Report Share Posted April 30, 2000 First I would like to express my deepest sympathy to Earl's family for their recent loss. I know it is little comfort but he is at peace now after a long struggle.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2000 Report Share Posted May 1, 2000 Gloria - you and Earl were part of our founding family when we started this group. I always think of you both with love. I hope that the antibiotics gave you and Earl some more time together. My heart goes out to you, With my love, Chris. >Earl died this morning at 7:15.
