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
