Re: hopefully catch you later Joe!!!

danm loyd, that is horrible news.  Please keep your spirits up, as they are always makiing strides in the medical field.  I am so sorry you wont make the concerts, but we will take a lot of pictures, and you will get to read multiple postings of the shows.  You have any special requests if I am fortunate enough to see Joe?  email me if you do.
Feel better, concentrate on getting through this!

Hey Bonabuddy Loyd,
     I have added you to my daily talks with the Infinite.  I am seeing you healthy & happy.  Don't you give up, be easy on yourself and remember YOU ARE LOVED by many a friend right here on this forum.  Consider yourself hugged.

Re: hopefully catch you later Joe!!!

Hallo Loyd that's terrible news, I hope that in the end it all comes right.

Keep the faith even if it is very difficult and hard. I know it is easy for me to say , because I'm healthy ( as far as I know) but it's the only way to fight this terrible disease. You know now 60% of the people who have it survive so a Bonabuddy will for sure.
Let us know how you are doing in the future o.k?

Wish you the best,

Andre Wittebroek.

Hey Cathy is back and she's right.  You are not alone even when you want to be.

Roy is right, too.  Easy to say, hard to do but a positive spirit is the stuff miracles are made of.
