The fight is over.
Bob peacefully went home to be with the Lord last Sunday 17 Nov. 07.
He decided on 5 Nov. not to take the induction treatment for AML. We thought at that point he might have 2 months left. Thank you for the forum, we learned a lot from all of you. Thank you for your prayers and thoughts.
