Dear Mary-
So sorry for your loss. It’s hard. My sister just sent the below to our family… I hope it brings some comfort to all going through this…… xox

To every thing there is a season, and aa time to every bpurpose under the heaven:
2 A time * to be born, and a time to cdie;
A time to plant, and a time to dpluck up that which is planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 A time to weep, and a time eto laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;

While words cannot console you, know you and your family are in my heart and prayers.

KrisDear Mary,
I know how you feel. My Dad was diagnosed July 2010 and only 5 months later lost the battle December 2010. I was heartbroken…still am. But I do try and remember all the great time we had together. I am still very angry and bitter but I know he would want me to dwell (still working on that). Hang in there…keeping you in my thoughts and prayers along with your family.
Hopefully one day we can beat this awful cancer…

Dear Mary, I am so very sorry for your loss. I will pray for your strength and courage. Take care. Sincerely, Dana
Mary, Your post brought tears to my eyes. I am thankful your Dad had a peaceful passing. You are right; no more suffering. My dad passed nearly 37 years ago when I was 18 but he is with me still everyday of my life.
He lives within you. Hugs to you and your family. NancyOh Mary,
I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. There is such a special bond between Daddies and their daughters….
You are an amazing legacy that he leaves behind. Be kind to yourself in the coming days and give yourself time to grieve.
Remember we are all here for you! I will keep you and your family in my prayers….
Hugs,
PamDear Mary,

Dear Mary,
I too am sorry to hear that your dad has lost his battle with CC. I know there is nothing to console you right now, but try to take some comfort in knowing he is now at peace and no longer suffering. Try to remember him as he was before all of this and keep him forever in your heart and memories.
Thinking of you and your family at this sad and trying time.
Love & Hugs,
DarlaDear Mary,

Dear Mary, I’m so very sorry to hear of your dad’s death but am glad he is no longer in pain. I lost my lovely sister the same day.
My love to you and your family
JuliaMary,
Words do not really do justice to how you must feel right now. Just know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you proceed through the next phase of your lives.
Dear Mary, I am so sorry about your beloved Dad but he will always be in your heart and I know the feeling of seeing that smile as he blissfully reaches his Peace.
Letter from Heaven by Ruth Ann Mahaffey
To my dearest family some things I’d like to say
But first of all to let you know that I arrived okay,
I’m writing this from Heaven. Here I shall dwell with God above
Here, there’s no more tears of sadness. Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy because I’m out of sight
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through
God picked me up and hugged me and He said “I welcome you,
It’s good to have you back again,
you were missed while you were gone,
As for your dearest family, they’ll be here later on.
God gave me a list of things that he wished for me to do
And foremost on the list was to watch and care for you
And when you lie in bed at night, the days chores put to flight
God and I are closest to you . . in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth and all those loving years
Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears
But do not be afraid to cry, it does relieve the pain
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
One thing is for certain though my life on earth is o’er
I’m closer to you now than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb
Together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
When you’re walking down the street and you’ve got me on your mind
I’m walking in your footsteps, only half a step behind
And when it’s time for you to go . . from that body to be free
Remember you’re not going . . you’re just coming here to me.Tuesday May 29, 2012 we lost another fighter in this war we call Cholangiocarcinoma. My dad was diagnosed May 16, 2012 and was
given a year to live. He fought his battle to the end. He always stayed
strong for us. He was full of life. This past year this monster
came into our life and turned it upside down and we saw our dad be consumed day to day until it took him. He suffered alot. He is in peace now.
I’m very fortunate to have had such a wondeful father. He was loved by many and we witnessed that at his service. I’m thankful that we were able to be by his side until the last breath he took. He died very peacefully and when he passed he had a smile on his face. I know he is in a better place now with no more pain. We will have to learn to cope with his absence and he will never be forgotten and will be forever missed.Thank you Cholangiocarcinoma family for the past year of advice.
With love a very sad, heartbroken daughter of a wonderful man I
called DAD.Mary M
