Kathy, We are so sorry for your loss. Marv was the first person I met when I was diagnosed and I will never forget the bond we shared. We think of you every day and hope the memories will help you through. Ironically, Thursday is my Pet Scan so I'm not sure if we will see you then, but know that we are there in spirit and will touch base soon. Sending love, hugs and prayers to you and your family....Jackie & Tim
