I'm so sorry for your loss.

I'm glad you got to spend the final moments together. Nothing can make it easier, except maybe time.

Please take care of yourself and know that many here are thinking of you.

*tears*

My 3 year old and I very much enjoyed the wonderful photos of Damien, you, and your fantastic family. He looks like someone who eats life for breakfast. What an amazing life you have had together.

Part of me asks why is life so unfair; I know people who are sick but negative and bitter, rejecting life, who seem to hang on forever, while positive people like Damien have to go. I am staggered by the loss you must be facing. But also in awe of your courage, and admiring you, knowing that you will continue to embrace life beautifully.

Lynne,
My sincere condolences at such a tragic loss.
I hope you are taking care of yourself, whatever that looks like right now. And I hope that you are taking some comfort in knowing how many people, near and far, are thinking of you and and your family and hating that you all are having to go through this.
Be well.

Oh Lynne, I am just sobbing in disbelief! I thought of you a few weeks ago and thought to message you, but my hands were messy from cooking and then I forgot. I'm so, so sorry that this big, strong vibrant man had to leave this earth. I will put a note on my mirror to pray for you. I can't imagine the strength you will need to just put one foot in front of the other, but I hope we can be a refuge of sorts for you whenever you feel like popping in, lurking or not. We love you! XOXOXOXOX

Oh Lynne, my heart is breaking for you. I'm so sorry.
