Even though we do not know Darrell and Bob personally, we can tell from your loving comments and concern for both of them, that they are quality people and loyal friends. We just wanted you to know that Sharon and I are, in our own way, praying for Darrell to win his fight for life. We sincerely hope that you all can be together again and enjoying his company and conversation. Our love - and tears, John and Sharon Salem, OR Dick,

The family was getting conflicting information and diagnosis. My sister, who is a nurse, called for a "family conference" to include all of the doctors involved in her care. By the time they came to the meeting there was a coherent plan of action developed. Today she is still with us at 95. I agree with Mary Ann, you need to be your own best advocate. I will continue to pray...Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. When my grandmother was ill (at 93) there were several doctors involved in her care.

Darrell going for surgury for what usually is routine heart repair and now all this! It's difficult to be sure of anything today I think. The energies being sent to Tucson from Canada are truly heartfelt as there is so little we can do at this stage...for Darrell and of course for Bob as well. Darrell and Bob have always shared fully with the Nova Scotia experience and have made many friends in Canada. All those people, I am sure, who are aware of Darrell's plight are thinking of him and holding him up for prayer and blessedness. I will do no less. Jim This all seems a very bad dream.

Please give him a kiss for me. My thoughts have been with Darrell and Bob and I pray for the day that we can see Darrrell’s beautiful smile and hear his laugh again. Please give him a kiss for me.

It is so hard to imagine Darrell in such a condition. He is forever in my mind as lsuch a lover of life; laughing and smiling his enigmatic smile. We are both praying here for his recovery. His light isn't ready to go out yet. Our thoughts and hearts are with Bob. They are forever linked in our minds. Hopefully Bob and Darrell will feel the love, concern,caring and prayers that are being sent their way. I want to firmly believe that we will see them both this summer in Nova Scotia.

This is a difficult time for you both, and for the many folks who love you. Over the next few hours/days those of you in Tucson may be faced with some very difficult decisions. While we can only send our love and best wishes from Nova Scotia, you will need to search deep for the right answers. With the love you have shown to both Darrell and Bob and the effort you have all made to see that those who care have been kept informed, I trust the choices you make will be the right ones. My heart goes out to you all........Carol Our thoughts are with you, Bob and Darrell. This is a difficult time for you both, and for the many folks who love you.
