Hello, I just got this e-mail regarding a friend of this thread. In case any of you don't receive it here it is: > Dear Friends, > > It is with overwhelming sorrow that I'm writing to tell you that my > beloved husband, Dave Zawicki, passed away yesterday shortly after > noon. He was 46 years old and had valiantly battled metastatic colon > cancer since last July. After a month in the hospital, he died quickly > and peacefully. He closed his eyes, a little smile came over his face, > and then he was gone. > > I loved him tremendously - he was my very best friend, the light of my > life. I will miss him terribly as I'm sure many of you will, too. He > so enjoyed the time that he spent with all of you! I used to refer to > you collectively as his virtual friends since he hadn't met any of you > face-to-face. What a wonderful experience it was for him and for me to > meet so many of you two years ago in Charleston! > > All of you were wonderfully supportive of him during his battle with > cancer, and I want to thank you for the tremendous outpouring of love > and support that you have given Dave and me over the past months and for > all of your prayers on his behalf. A number of you sent good wishes and > farewell messages the week before he died, and I read each one of them > to him. It meant the world to us. > > Funeral arrangements are currently being made with viewings planned for > next Thursday and Friday (January 20 and 21) and the funeral on > Saturday, January 22. Details will be sent in a separate E-mail. > > I may also try to arrange a "virtual memorial service" for us to gather > and share our loss in his passing and our joy in having had him in our > lives. If anyone would like to help me to arrange that, please let me > know. > > Thank you all again for all of your love and support! > > Carol > |
