Two years have past since my dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. In those two years many of your have asked how you can help. Here is one opportunity. I believe it is possible for future pancreatic cancer patients to have a different fate than my dad will suffer.
Please take the time to contact your U.S. Representative to support the Pancreatic Cancer Research Act (H.R. 7045) using this link. It is too late for my dad to benefit from new pancreatic cancer research. However, it upsets my dad to know that other people will suffer like he has. WE CAN CHANGE THE FUTURE for pancreatic cancer patients. Let's do it!
If you want to know more, follow this link. It explains why more federal funding is a priority.
If you'd rather make a personal donation, follow this link.
Please send me an email to let me know what action you've taken. I'll pass the word on to my dad. He and I will be very moved that people took the time. Thanks.

Kind family,
My typing to you tonight is a cop out. If my courage were up I too would come and visit and say good bye.
I have watched my husband die as you know. Yes, it is one of the most difficult things to do. The want to have peace and them there is such a tug of love not war. Please know that my prayers are for what you need, a resolution to your concerns, in other words peace. Other then prayers I can offer everything and nothing. Nothing because it is your grief and yours to deal with. I can offer everything I can to make the transition easier. I will wait to be asked, sometimes the phone or door bell and be too much. Find me if there is a need to. I will pick up the phone.
Phil, I see these pictures of you and the family. I see a man who loves and is loved. There is a great deal of pain in saying good bye but, the love is one thing that you can take with you.
From me, I say all those years ago of the group, Millers, Kays, Meyers, you and Judy, I look back at the fun I had watching the way you interacted with each other as friends. How the differences seemed to bring you closer together and the bond you all shared. It was something that I saw that I wanted "when I grew up". The bad jokes were good? Thank you for trusting me with your children and for letting me learn from the gang about friends and friendship.
My closing thoughts are these.
Love, it goes a long way.
God bless you and your family,
Patricia Jean Barbra Babysitter Biemann Higgins
