we all know too well the big C can sneak up and steal your family and friends with little or no notice,it does not discriminate.i myself know first hand as I have been there myself,and cannot say enough to everyone to get checked,and get checked frequently as more times than not there are little or no symptoms.although I personally did not know him,i still have a deep sadness for everyone and their family who goes through this horrible disease.he is in a much better place and faith will surely help his family get through this terrible time......godspeed...
