Subject: [CML] Online Tribute to Marque Lesuer

Hello, friends,

I'm Cindy Brown, Marque Lesuer's oldest sister in CO.  I'm sure most of you
have heard by now that CML claimed the life of my baby brother on Nov. 27.
Marque remained able to do almost everything during most of his 7 year
battle with the disease. He had purchased a "fixer-upper" house on Oct. 22
and had been working on it for over a week with his sons.  He anticipated
moving into the new house on Nov. 20, but around Nov. 1 he became very ill
with what we assumed was the flu....coughing and a bad headache.

DETAILS...if you want them.....
When we found him the day after Thanksgiving he was extremely weak and had
difficulty focusing his thoughts.  We talked him into going into the
hospital, where he was admitted with a blood oxygen percentage of 75.
Oxygen helped and they immediately put him on IV antibiotics, feeling the
pneumonia might be bacterial.  Unfortunately, it was a white blood cell
related pneumonia, however, and he died less than 24 hours later.  He had
refused all along to have a bone marrow transplant, chemo or a blood
transfusion.  In the end he also refused to be placed on a ventilator since
it would render him unable to speak.

I tell you the details since you are all in Marque's CML distribution list.
I'm sure you know a great deal more about CML than I do since you either
suffer from the disease or love someone who does....  I am happy to
communicate individually with any of you who need more details...or just
want to visit.  Many of you have kindly sent cards...thanks for the cookies
for Marque's boys, Gina!!!.....and we are all SO appreciative!

If you have the time and the interest, I have posted a tribute to Marque on
the web at :
                                       http://cindybeads.com/marque.htm
Feel free to visit anytime...I hope it helps you get to know my brother a
little better and learn what a truly remarkable man he was.  There is also a
small red link to a obituary page that you may use to post memories or
whatever.  Those comments will remain on that website until Dec. 31,
2004....perhaps it will be possible for me to also paste them on my tribute
pages if that is permitted.

Thanks to all of you who were friends, educators and supporters of Marque's.
I know losing a fellow fighter is a blow to you all and I wish you strength
and health. You all know what a proponent Marque was in natural remedies and
diet.  Changing his lifestyle and taking charge of his disease, I am
CONVINCED, along with his unparalleled bravery and positive attitude, kept
Marque active and comparatively "healthy" for such a long period of time.
The end was quick and he was spiritually calm and ready to continue his
journey to God.  May this message as well as the Marque Page give you peace
and joy this Holiday season....

Sincerely,
Cindy Brown
