----------------------------------------------------------- From: PTResearcher2 Message 1 in Discussion My Daddy passed away this morning. He fought stage IV colon cancer for 2 years and 10 and 1/2 months. He had four major surgeries, including three liver surgeries. He participated in many clinical trials and research studies to help future patients. He also had several different chemo treatments and numerous procedures. He also broke his back and ribs earlier this year in a fall. My Daddy suffered greatly over the past three years. I am so glad that he is free from the pain and suffering. Thank you so much for your prayers, support, and encouragement over the years. I will miss my Daddy so much. I know that he is in Heaven, now. I know that he has a new and perfect body-without pain. I know God welcomed him home and said, "well done, my good and faithful servant, well done." I love my Daddy so much! He is and will always be my Hero! http://www.asimas.com/ASIMAS/hertetrickjc/obituaryDescription.jsp?domain_id=292&deceased_id=168912 Dr. John W.
