Update on Lyn & Tubaman

[tubaman]

Dear Friends,

As some of you may know, Lyn has been going through some experimental chemo treatments in San Antonio. However, the side effects very nearly killed her, and there was no improvement in the cancer. Lyn's doctors consulted with her and she agreed that there is nothing more we can do to save her life. From now on, we will spend all our efforts making her as comfortable as possible until the cancer takers her. The doctors' estimates of time left vary from 2 months to 2 years. (It's a rare cancer, so they don't have much to go on.)

You have always been the most amazing friends to us both, and your support and friendships have kept Lyn going far beyond what we had any right to expect. For that I am eternally grateful to you all!

They say adversity doesn't create character, it reveals it. What I saw in Lyn while she faced death and repeatedly defeated it was the most amazing demonstration of strength of character I have ever seen in 56 years of life. (I call her my "little phoenix.") While she was suffering torments I can't begin to imagine, as I stood at the side and had to watch, her every concern was for me and our children. I only hope I'll be able to meet death with such courage.

Please pray for me to have the courage and wisdom and physical stamina to do right by my Lyn until the end comes.

Paul,

I am so sorry for your loss. I have only chatted with you in the chatroom, but, I feel a special connection to you since my new bride's life was also touched by cancer. May Lyn rest in peace.

At 2:46 this afternoon, my sweet Lyn breathed her last. She'd fought the cancer courageously for over 3 years, and it finally took her life.

I was so fortunate to have been with her at the end. It was a peaceful end to a truly amazing, intense life. Lyn lived life straight to the hilt,and I was so very lucky to been there for the ride.

She was strong, and passionate, charming, funny, brilliant, beautiful, basically every man's fantasy wife. My years with her were without question the best part of my life, hands down.

I am utterly heartbroken, but I wanted to take the time properly to announce her passing.

For those who can make the trip, I'll post the funeral and viewing information probably tomorrow afternoon.

I will never have the words adequately to thank those of you who sent your thoughts and prayers by word, email, e-card, phone call,and visit over this difficult time. Please know you have been treasured friends, and your love made Lyn's time so much easier.
