my favorite alias was Andrea Rooney. I even studied his speeches!

Paula,

I am stunned. I hope that you know how many lives you have touched and how you lead with a rare blend of grace, wit, and tenacity.

I am angry. This goes beyond comprehension. I admire you for still having faith through all this; I know we persevere and adapt to this nasty life sentence, but really, this was my tipping point. I am having a hard time with this God thing anymore. We are made in His image? Really? If I still thought anyone up there was listening; I would shout "enough" until I lost my voice.

I am also very deeply saddened. No other words...

Laura,


It's natural to feel angry at God. But it isn't God who gave me cancer. We are responsible for all the toxins in the world-we being mankind. Just keep doing the best u can, u are so talented. Without God, the universe would be meaningless. IMHO

Paula,

You have always been an inspiration for me. My thoughts and prayers are with you. May you find peace.

Sharon

Paula,

I registered yesterday and I don't know you ... but still, I feel really sorry for what is happening to you. I really hope one day you will beat both PD and the tumor.

Good Luck !!!

Paula is one of the PD worlds great 'connecters', and has managed to keep in touch with so many people, linking them together. She isn't the only one with this talent, but she is one of the best! I'll be staying tuned for more news of this...

Dear Paula,

When my brother was diagnosed with the most rapid acting ALS, he begged me to find a pill, a cure, a study to be part of. When it became clear that nothing would help, he turned his attention to crafting the way he would live the rest of his life and how he would die. Social workers and others decided that his choices did not reflect their version of "death with dignity" despite his repeated statements of what he wanted: to be found sitting in his recliner in front of his TV watching golf. He died on Easter Sunday, two days before he was to be moved, relaxed in his recliner with the Master's Tournament on the YV. His way.

I honor your way, eloquent, surrounded by cyber as well as physical friends, making a difference. Bless you.

how the "cyber world" is the antithesis of the "physical world". How long would you have to have known someone in the flesh before feeling able to share such honesty and relevance.

Best wishes Paula and take care everyone,
Neil.

neil you get it. together we are better. diego you can feel it. all I can say is how lucky am.
