What is the family about to be officially told - I don't want to assume anything. 24891. Jenerator - 1/1/2009 11:54:44 PM 2008 has been the worst year for Judith. My heart breaks for her. 24892. wabbit - 1/2/2009 1:01:35 AM Oh no, poor Leslie has been through so much these past couple years. Judith and Keoni must be devastated. 24893. PsychProf - 1/2/2009 3:48:32 AM I am so sorry Judith. 24894. magoseph - 1/2/2009 7:22:40 AM Tomorrow morning at 9:30, the family will be at the hospital to discontinue Leslie’s life support. 24895. David Ehrenstein - 1/2/2009 4:19:07 PM Hey, where's jex? 24896. wonkers2 - 1/2/2009 5:16:57 PM He's lurking under a pew in San Francisco. 24897. Ms. No - 1/2/2009 8:02:13 PM Oh, Judith, I'm so, so sorry. My love to you and Keoni and all of Leslie's loved ones. 24898. David Ehrenstein - 1/2/2009 9:02:59 PM Ditto. 24899. magoseph - 1/2/2009 10:59:57 PM From Judith:
I may have spoken with some of you already but wanted to send out an email to everyone. We removed life support this morning after talking with the neurologist who did an angiogram and an MRI on Leslie yesterday...the results showed that the ventilator was the only thing keeping him here...the tests yesterday showed that he had had several very severe strokes since Tuesday afternoon.
Sonnie, his dad, and I made the decision and Leslie is now out of pain and with Mallie, his beloved dog. He always loved that poem Rainbow Bridge and I know he felt certain they would be reunited with one another and his other dog, Joe T.
At his explicit request there will be no funeral or memorial. He asked to be cremated and his ashes taken to places he particularly enjoyed. Sonnie and I are going have a gathering in a few weeks at Leslie's house to celebrate his life and friendship. We'll notify everyone beforehand.
Love to you all...friends and family are very dear to us right now. 24900. Wombat - 1/2/2009 11:21:59 PM Judith:
I am so sorry. Please accept my condolences. 24901. alistairConnor - 1/3/2009 12:34:55 AM So sorry, Judith. 24902. wabbit - 1/3/2009 2:08:53 AM Judith, I am so sorry to hear about Leslie, you have my deepest sympathy. 24903. OhioSTOPAS - 1/3/2009 3:09:16 PM Judith, I'm very sorry. 24904. thoughtful - 1/4/2009 6:05:40 PM Oh dear, this is terrible news.
My deepest sympathies.
It's so hard to lose someone after you've endured that roller coaster of good news, followed by bad, followed by upbeat outcomes, only to get bad news again. It wears.
It's awful to lose a child no matter the circumstances.
It's hard to see your way to the surface when you're enveloped in grief, but it's important to trust that you will find a way to manage your pain, with time.
I'm so terribly sorry and send all my wishes for strength, comfort, courage, and healing to help you cope with your loss. 24905. anomie - 1/5/2009 1:22:30 AM My thoughts exactly. I'm sorry, judith... 24906. magoseph - 1/7/2009 1:05:16 PM Good morning! 24907. vonKreedon - 1/7/2009 4:26:42 PM Oh...Judith I am so sorry. Words cannot match the experience. I am so sorry. 24908. anomie - 1/7/2009 5:30:28 PM Good morning Mago. Hey, would you happen to know what a "Milwaukee" pizza is?
