Susan Nelson

[papaver]

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

[Selkie]

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.

[OakLeaf]

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.

it's almost like losing a member of your own family.

I was doing OK, till I went to Twin Six's site to check on a T-shirt. That WIN with a teardrop... oh man, buckets of tears.

No kidding. That's how I found out (somehow I missed this thread). Powerful image, huh?

Much love to the Fatty family.

Yep, I just came across that too. The waterworks have resumed ...

Thanks for posting the link. Such a simple image, and still so heartbreaking. It is amazing how Fatty has been able to spread the word and enlist people to fight cancer. Susan really will live on in so many ways.

Aww man, thanks for posting that, I hadn't seen it yet. It just gives me the goosebumps.

It just shows how amazing those two are, that so many people would rally behind them, care so much for them, help them raise so much money to fight cancer. Like I told my husband last night - it shows just how MUCH he loves Susan, that he did all this - just for her. (Of course for the other people that have cancer out there also, but it started with her.)

I was hoping to get a FC jersey to wear on my cancer ride this month, but it appears the website isn't selling them.

I emailed them last week about this, and was told that a new FC women's jersey is coming this fall

[Pedal Wench]

Knew it was coming, but it still hurts. Makes me want to fight harder than ever to cure this.
