Well this is a blow.  How do we make lemonade from this rotten batch of lemons?  While I know that I’m not alone in wishing there was a way to take your place, I also know that none of us could fight this bitch of a disease as bravely and valiantly as you did and will do again.  Despite my own sadness and fear, I find comfort in knowing that you are at your finest when challenged, and unbeatable when that challenge threatens your family.  You will prevail.
