Very sad...

She brought out the best from Fatty and out of all of us. Through her, Fatty's web site became far more than just another cycling web site, blog site. It became a rallying point for all of us to fight cancer. We rallied for Fatty, we rallied for Susan and we rallied for her children. Her physical being is gone now but her spirit will live on through Fatty. Her fight..., will continue with Fatty. One day, we will have a cure. And Susan will be part of it.

My absolute respect for Fatty in his unweavering devotion and support for the long trek. All I can offer is my deepest sympathy and condolence.

Peace and tranquility for Fatty and their children,
Shawn

what a sad story, but with two very strong heroes.

Susan left quite a legacy. All that money raised in her name that will go toward finding a cure, helping others, etc. She and her family taught a lot of people about courage, dignity, strength, grace, and love.

I am a spiritual (not church going) person, so I really do believe that she's in a better place. May the ones she left behind, who love and miss her, find comfort in the good memories.

How sad - not only her death, but her whole struggle.

Whether or not you believe in heaven, she's in a better place. There's no question about that for me. She's out of her pain, and now her family can begin to heal. I'm sending them my prayers.

I knew this would be coming soon, but I had hoped not this soon. So sad for their family--you know that they will be fine in time, there's so much love there, but you just wish people didn't have to ever go through this. Cancer sucks.

Poo

This is what I find not fair about life..Why is it that so many good people have to die young? *shakes head*

Give your loved ones a bigger hug than normal tonight.

Darn. Darn Darn.

I have been following Fatty for over a year now. I have been dreading this moment since November. I am really shocked she held on so long. What a courageous and heartbreaking struggle for both Fatty and Susan. My heart truly hurts for them and their children. Those poor children. Boy does that family seem to have a lot of love though. I am sending positive thoughts into the universe for all of them. I truly hope Fatty can find some peace and comfort.
