Hi Bob And Nancy,
I’m so sorry for your loss, please accept my sincere deepest condolences. Annie had told about Jeff, but I was waiting for your posting.Annie shared a few stories about Jeff with me and just by these stories.I know that he was remarkable young man. He was an inspiration to all and a strong fighter.Please know that my Ginger received him with open arms up in heaven,even though we have never met.Ginger knew about Jeff.Today is eight months ago that my Ginger passed.May God Bless You Both!
Gerardo!
Hi Marinmommy,
I’m so sorry about your dads passing.My Lovely Ginger just passed on Feb 13.I was also at her bedside with her daughter and sister when she passed.She was also doing the terrible rattle breathing( Death Rattle). When she just stopped breathing.I had just stepped away a few feet when it happened.Ginger was alert and knew what was happening.I stepped away to put her clothes into the washer machine because she was dirty and we where changing and cleaning her.She knew that I had stepped away and I believe that’s when she decided to go.Feb 14th has always been special to both of us and she wanted me to continue to hold on to that day as a special in good memory for both of us. I did tell her how much I loved her and she replied by telling me she loved me too.I told her I was sorry for any thing that I had done in anyway if I harmed her and she told me don’t be sorry.I thanked her for taking care of me and my two kids.I missed her so much but I know she’s in a better place without suffering.We are having her services this Friday and a gathering at our place afterwards.Sometimes I feel like I didn’t do enough at the end for her comfort because I got some medical cushions to help her with he bed sores two days after her passing in the mail.Anyways stay strong and continue to hold on to those good memories.Thanks to everyone on this wonderful website.
Greeting CC Family,
Thank you!To all for all your kind words and prayers.Lainy, thank you for the beautiful poem.I read it frequently and it helps me get through the day.You have been an inspiration to all.Pamela good luck to Lauren on her surgery,I will be praying for her.Bob and Nancy,thank you for all the love,support and prayers.I wish the very best for you and Jeff.Even though we’ve never met personally.Ginger’s services is going to be March 1st at Forest Lawn in Long Beach,Ca.This last few days have been the worst days of my life without my Ginger.I MISS HER SO MUCH!!! Thank you to Marion Schwartz from the foundation for your beautiful email.It is so wonderful to know that all you wonderful people from this foundation really truly care. I can assure you all that Ginger left peacefully.Her daughter,sister and myself were at her bedside.I don’t know if I ever told the story.Ginger Started working at the school February 14,1990 and I started working at the same school February 14,2000. It was like a destination.For the last six years we would spend Valentines weekend in Las Vegas.Valentines was special day for us.Ginger passed February 13 at 11:pm.Its like she chose that time to go one hour before February the 14th.She wanted to keep the 14th special with all the good times we had in Vegas with good memories.Ginger will always be with me and in my heart,she is now my Angel.
Thanks again for all the support,love and prayers.Im sure Ginger is in heaven with the help of al your prayers,it just made easier for her to find her way there.With Much Love Respect.
GERARDO.

Dear Deane,
So sorry to here about your mother passing.It sound likes she was a wonderful person.My thoughts and Prayers to you and your Family.
Gerardo And Ginger.
Hello CC Family,
It’s been a week since we received the bad news from Ginger’s CT-Scan results.
Dr Thomas Lowe confirmed to us that the chemo did not help Ginger at all,the tumors on her liver actually grew more and she has new ones.she has Adenocarcinoma with multifocal liver lesions in both lobes of the liver.He gave her two options.1) Continue with stronger dose of chemo which he really doubt that it would help her and 2). Go on Hospice,which is what she chose.its now a matter of quality of life.I am having a very hard time accepting this.But only she knows what it’s like to go through chemo.Im just taking it day by day and trying to make her happy.We continue to receive lots of help,support and love from the school community.I tell Ginger that she has no idea how much she is Loved by all the school community.Her Birthday is the 20th of January and besides what iI have planned for her some of the teachers and students are planning some Birthday greeting videos.Im sure it will be something that will make her very happy.because she loved all the students.
I would like to thank everybody
For all your thoughts and prayers.Gerardo and Ginger.
Hello Annie,
Hope your are doing well.Ginger my wife,I believe it was on her third chemo treatment got a blood transfusion.She went in for the chemo and they told her that they where going to give her the treatment but that she had to go to the hospital right after the chemo.She was in the hospital over night, had the transfusion and had a paransentisis. She was in the hospital for one night only.And believe me.It made a big huge difference on her,because she up and Christmas shopping two days after her chemo treatment.Good luck with your brother and Happy new year.
Hello Martina,
I’m so sorry about your loss. I too lost my father seven years ago to brain cancer.Now I’m going through something similar with my wife Gingers CC.
Nobody can ever be prepared for something like this,when it just happens when you least expect it.It never goes away but it does get easier as time goes by.I also get very emotional during the holidays and I usually take time off by myself for an hour or two to grieve for my father.One of my co-workers just lost her mom a couple of months ago and it hurt me to see her grieve.I wanted to something for her and one night while surfing the web,I came across this book and I bought it for her.The books title is Motherless Daughters.Now as I read your post I looked some of them up and this is what I came across with.
-On Grieving The Death O A Father.
-When Parents Die:A Guide For Adults.
-Fatherless Daughters.
-Fatherless Women.This are just a few of them and there are many more. I certainly hope this help you.And I’m sure you where a great daughter to your father. Good Luck and stay strong.
Hugs,
Gerardo and Ginger.Hello Nancy,

Ginger and myself will continue to pray for Jeff,Bob and you.Just take one day at a time and try to make the most out of it.Hang in there and be strong.If there is anything we can do,just let us know remember we are only a few minutes away from each other.

I will be posting an update on my wife Gingers medical condition soon.
Lots of Love,Support And Prayers for You,Bob And Jeff.
Hello everyone,
First of all,sorry that I haven’t been keeping you all up to date on my wife’s (Gingers)health.Thanks to the generousity of some of the faculty and staff from work.They gave us a airfare round trip,hotel accommodations and limousine service to Las Vegas.And we got married on October 8th.I must say it was a very emotional ceremony.She has started her Chemotherapy and she seems to be doing well with it.The only thing that I’ve notice is that she gets very weak for a few days.She is getting her abdominal fluids drained about every two weeks,an average of 4 to 6 liters of fluid.We are still getting lots of help and support from the school community.The director of the community service and I bought about 3 hundred of the bracelets and passed them out through out the faculty and staff and students.It is great to see people wearing this bracelets in support for Ginger. She is being well taken care of through the day by her daughter,that moved in with us.Ginger is going on my health insurance policy starting in December.This difficult times are really taking a toll on me also.I am now on stress medication and medication for my migraine headaches.It has been very difficult for me to be at work.Because I have to talk about it 10 to 15 times a day.People just have so much love and care for her,it’s amazing! God Bless You All. And thanks for the support and prayers.
First of all, thank you for your quick replies.And please bare with me since this is all very new to me and don’t know much about cc.But I have been reading quite a bit about cc and that’s how I found you wonderful people.I will continue to keep you informed on her(Ginger is her name) as with fight this terrible desease together.We work for a private k-12 school in Southern Ca.She just got laid off in June 2012.She was in the food service for 22 years and I am the ground supervisor 12 years.So that means no more insurance for her since we are not married,but we do plan on getting married soon.When one of the parents found out about her cc,he volunteered to pay for her Cobra insurance for six months.We have so much support from students,faculty and staff and parents that it’s just amazing and overwhelming to us both.I must say that Ginger is very strong and I just don’t know where she gets it from.I am just so grateful for everybody and the cc foundation for all the support.Thank you once again and I will continue to keep you all informed on Gingers condition.God Bless You All.
