Daddy...I wish you were here with us. Tomorrow is a big day for the Hurt family. Ryan and I will be going to surgery so that he can receive a kidney from me. I know that you will be watching over us. I pray that you hold us in your loving embrace and watch over our surgeries and recoveries. Your boy really needs this to be successful. He has waited so long and struggled a day too much. I love you!

Well, Daddy...tonight I graduated school as an RN. I know that you are with me and that you are very proud of me. Thank you for getting me through these past few years. You know that every single test day on my way to school, I would talk to you and ask that you watch over me and guide me to do the best I could. THANK YOU! I love and miss you so much...

I know that all of us are feeling sad today, but to me, yesterday was so much worse. I will never forget the vigil we kept 6 years ago on that hot, hot day. As I was getting ready for work yesterday, one of your favorite songs came on the radio....I knew you were with me. I went out with friends last night after work and instead of my usual martini, I had a glass of red wine. Then, not even an hour had passed and Brown Eyed Girl began to play. (It actually played twice while I was there!)....I knew you were with me. Enjoy the fireworks from Heaven, Daddy. I love and miss you every single day of my life!

Hi Hon,
Another 4th of July has come...it's been 6 long and very lonely years. All the fireworks went out of my life the day I lost you. I still have a hard time believing you are gone. I miss you so much!!!
Holidays are hard...everybody celebrates...everybody wishes you a "happy" holiday. It is not happy for me.
This is NOT a day of celebration for me. On this day, 6yrs. ago, all the joy in my life ended. I always prefer just to stay at home. Some people just don't understand that. I just can't make myself be joyful and fun on this day. Bobby wanted me to come to Indiana...I guess most everyone will be there. I just couldn't go... I much prefer being home with my memories of you. Those last few days still haunt me. If only there was something I could have done to save you and keep you with us. If only I could have traded places with you...I know this would have been a much different holiday.
Know that you, as always will be uppermost in my thoughts today. I will be missing you forever...love you so much, Tish

Happy Father's Day Daddy!!! I miss you so much. I wish you were here more than anything in the world. This day is one of the more difficult days spent without you. I love you so much Daddy. I know your here with us everyday :)

Happy Father's Day honey.
Wish you were here to celebrate. Ryan is supposed to come over and cook-out. He has become the new grill-master. He's doing quite well...you'd be proud.
I know this day saddens our children (me too!), to not have you here with them. You were the ultimate loving, caring father. Your children worshiped you, as well they should. I knew from the moment I met you that you would be a wonderful father...my expectations were met above and beyond. Of course, that has made my part a lot more difficult...I never measure-up.
I miss you so much, some days I can hardly stand the pain of your absence. Time does not heal! I get so tired of the struggle to handle everything on my own. I long for the day when I can be re-united with you again. Everyone will be a little happier then.
I love you so much...tish

Hi Daddy. Thinking of you today and how this became your Independence Day 5 years ago. Sometimes it feels like a lifetime ago and sometimes it feels like just yesterday. I miss your voice, your laugh, your smile - I miss my Dad. I love you forever and always!

P.S. Please keep visiting me in my dreams! Just don't scare me!! Ha ha ha!!!

Well hon...5 long,lonely years ! Life is horrible without you. Time heals NOTHING ! I miss you so much. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and want you here with me. I know that you are perfectly happy where you are, but I'm not. I wish life weren't so unfair. There have been so many times I've needed you (daily). We've had some really hard times without your guidance.
I miss your arms around me keeping me safe and comforting me. I feel so alone without you. I miss your jokes (even the really dumb ones)...you could always make me laugh. Nothing seemed impossible when we faced things together. I just don't have your wisdom and strength. I wish I could just talk to you in person, just feel you near me.
Please watch over your oldest baby girl. I feel so helpless with her situation. I'm really afraid for her and our grandbabies. We had Gene pegged all wrong I'm afraid.
I could sure use your help with your youngest baby girl too.
Please stay close to us all.
I will always love you...until we're together again, Tish

Hi Daddy
I started my first job at Marc's a few weeks ago. It's alright i guess since I am finally getting my own money. I also got excepted into the culinary program at Normandy for the next two years. I know you would be proud. You knew how much i loved cooking at Circo. Well i miss you sooo much and things still and never will be the same without you. I love you!
Love,

Hi Hon
I just back from Costa Rica a few days ago. I went with Monica. I'm afraid you wouldn't like some of the changes...especially your Third World Bar...they tore down the wall...in fact they tore down the restaurant and rebuilt it closer to the road. I boycotted it. I'm glad Megan retrieved your picture when she went with Chuck last year. Everything is changing in Tamarindo. Building everywhere! Lots of condos. The dust and dirt are awful! I'm afraid it's going to be a mudpit when rainy season starts. All that mud will probably run right into the Diria (haha). All the changes make me sad for the old days....especially the days we spent together there. I thought of you the whole time and missed you so much!!!
Nothing will ever be the same again. I'm so lonely.
Still loving you...forever and ever, Tish

Hi Daddy,
I wrote this on January 10th and i was going to post it on the 4th of July but I couldn't find the site. I miss you so much and I wish you were here. You have no idea how much I miss you. You're my hero Daddy! I love you!

I wish I could go back for just one day
So much would have changed
But I can't go back and now You're gone

And because I don't have You
Theres so much You miss out on
We could never have that father-daughter dance at my dream wedding
I can't hear you say "I'm proud of you..." or "I love you."

No one could EVER take your place.
You are my most missed memory
And the pain of losing You will never go away

I wish i could see You again
Even for just one minute
For that minute would be the best minute
I would ever live.

Kayla <xodumblonde32xo@aol.com>

Were you watching fireworks on the beach in Costa Rica? Wish we were there...or anywhere together. It's been 4yrs...seems like 40. I miss you so much...there are no words to express the pain in my heart. It never lessens and I'll never be able to enjoy the 4th without feeling the pain of losing you on this day.
Keep watch over your new grandson...you'd just love him to pieces. We will make sure he knows all about you. I've already told him that you are his special angel watching over him.
I miss you and will always be loving you, Tish

2006...another New Year without you. Time is not a healer for me. I miss you more than ever. The holidays are just so sad. I remember all the past holidays and the wonderful times we had. The memories are great but I feel cheated that we can't have more.
I know you'll be watching the game today...Go Irish!
We are going to watch the game at Megan's...to taunt Chuck.
My love for you grows ever stronger and I long for the day when we can be reunited once again.
Until then...I will be forever loving you, Tish

Hi daddy... wow i can't believe it has been 3 yrs. I miss u very much and it gets even harder as time passes by. I love u very much and i would like to show you a poem I wrote about u last night so here it is-

I can feel the tear drop down from my eye
Slowly but surely I start to cry
It's amazing how days can fly by so fast
When it seemed like just yesterday was your last
The past three years have gone by so quick
Thinking of that night just makes me sick
I hate this pain I feel inside
I wish I could leave to run and hide
Why couldn't God kill that evil cancer?
For this and many questions I don't have the answer
Watch over me until we meet again
Know that I will miss you til then
Your always going to be my dad
And the best friend I've ever had

I also wanted to tell you that i graduated from Holy Family and I'm moving on to high school. I know you were with me even though i can't see you. You are missed so much by every one and i cry alot when I think of you. I can't wait to see you again someday. I also want you to let you know that i love mommy very much and I wouldn't be able to carry on without her even though she doesn't think I need her. I know I get angry and I've gone through a really rough time in the past year but I'll be okay and I'll be everything you ever wanted me to be. I love you very much daddy. Happy 4th of July!

Happy Easter Honey!
We had a nice day despite the fact that, as usual, we couldn't all be together. Ryan and Vicky both had to work and Laura isn't home yet. She's due to come home friday. I sure hope this past month has helped her and that she is on the road to recovery...stay close to her.
I miss you so much...I just hate holidays without you. I know you're here with us in spirit, but it's just not the same. There is such a void without you. I would give anything just to have you hold me again, to feel your strong, loving arms around me. I can't wait until we are together again. Til then...I'll be here forever loving and missing you, Tish

Happy Birthday baby...my forever young husband. It dawned on me yesterday that in a few years, I'll be older than you. I hope what Silvia Brown says is true...that after we die we will all be 33yrs. old otherwise you might not be thrilled having an old lady for a wife (haha).
Anne came in last night and we toasted you at the Blue Moose.
I miss you so much and wish you were here with me. Anne is helping me this weekend doing some of those "man" jobs that I need you for...I'm so helpless without you.
I love you with all my heart and with every breath I take. I hope you spent your birthday on the beach at the Third World bar and I wish that I could be there now with you.
forever loving you, Tish

Yea, yea...happy, happy, joy, joy!!!
Picked up my dad and spent the evening at Joey's. Of course we had a great dinner and the evening was nice, but I sure missed you as always...did you feel my heart kiss you at midnight? I think I got your message earlier in the day...was that a gift? Kayla thinks she got one too because she heard her (&your) song. We'll believe anyway.
Love you and miss you so much!!!

Hi honey
Here it is, another lonely Christmas Eve without you. Actually, it's already Christmas day, but I"m'still up doing laundry...I know, your're thinking that some things never change. The girlies are sleeping. We had a nice evening at Megan and Chuck's. A wonderful meal...you would have loved it...all your favorite foods. Chuck's kids and Ryan and Autumn were there too. As always, it just wasn't the same without you there. I miss you so very much. I know I won't be getting my heart's desire for Christmas.
I love you honey and will forever until we meet again someday. Until then...Merry Christmas my love.
P.S. One of your children desperately needs a hug from you tonight.

Hi honey...we just returned tonight from S.B. We spent Thanksgiving with my dad and most of the gang. Holidays just aren't the same anymore without you. I miss you so much. I am thankful that I was able to have you in my life even though it was way too brief...I will forever be grateful for that.
Please put a word in to the Big Guy for Ruth and Agnes.
Until we meet again...I'll be forever loving you, Tish

Hi honey
As hard as it is to believe, one of your brown-eyed girls turned 30 today. Chuck had a wonderful suprise party at John Q's for Megan last night. It stirred some memories as it was in your old building. I remember the day we went down there for lunch with a few of your co-workers. I remember that I didn't know any of them very well and just sat quietly and shyly (hard to believe huh?!) while you all talked "law" stuff. I enjoyed being with you though, as always. I miss you so much...my heart still hurts real bad. My love for you continues and always will until we're together again...til then...forever loving you, Tish

Happy Halloween, Daddy! You know that this is my very favorite holiday of the year, but this year I have to work, so I am not much in the celebrating mood. I had not even decorated my house this year. It's hard to believe that 3 years ago, you and I were sitting on my front porch watching the trick-or-treaters. I miss you more every day. I love you.

Thanks, Mary Clare!
After the initial shock of David's diagnosis, I have now been operating in protective mother mode. Tomorrow afternoon, David and I fly to NY for an appointment at Memorial Sloan-Kettering and an appointment at the Jay Monahan Center for Gastrointestinal Health(NY Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center). David's optimistic that in NY he will find the right doctor and the right treatment. He is making an amazing recovery from the initial colon surgery. The only discomfort he has had since leaving the hospital has been the severe itching from an allergic reaction to an IV antibiotic they had given him in the hospital. He is determind to beat this cancer and has a photo of his Uncle Bob & Kayla nearby to inspire him. I believe that God's allowing me to be there through Bob's journey through his illness has in many ways helped prepare me for David's battle. Bob, I know you're with David every second of the day. May God bless us all!

Love,

Your little sister, Monica <mauntmo27@aol.com>

Happy St. Patrick's Day my love. I will be making the usual corned beef and cabbage that you loved. I think some of the kids will be coming over. We don't have school today for a change.
I've been reminiscing about St. Patrick's Day...31yrs ago...remember the blizzard? You were out plowing snow for 2 whole days. Well, we got a blast again this year. It's still snowing a little this morning. Almost every school was closed yesterday except us and Holy Name. I'm really anxious for winter to be over!
I love you and miss you so much...not a day or moment goes by that I don't think of you and wish you were still here with me.
Forever, Tish

Happy New Year honey. Sometimes it seems the time just flies by and at other times it seems to drag on and on. I do know that it feels like forever since you were with us. I miss you so much!!!
Spent New Year's Eve at my dad's, as we usually have in the past...of course it wasn't the same without you. Most everyone was here and of course there was lots of food and drink (mostly the younger generation doing the drinking now...not us old farts!) I slipped out a few minutes til midnight and sat in the car playing sentimental songs and thinking thoughts of you and the old days when life was wonderful(...back when brain tumors and death weren't a part of our life).
My heart hurts so badly, I don't think it will ever heal...not until we are together again. Until then...now and forever, I love you, Tish

It's been a while since I've visited Bob's website, but even through the tears that still come when I think of Bob, this place remains very much a part of the unforgettable memories that I carry with me. To say that I have been blessed to have such a wonderful family would be an understatement. Bob did a lot of wonderful things in his life here on Earth, but nothing can match the job he did in setting an example for all of us in the true meaning of love. I know Bob's eternal life is probably even more amazing than I ever could imagine. Bob, I'm so proud of you and miss you very much!
Love,

Merry Cristmas, my love. Not so "merry" without you. There just is no joy anymore without you to share it with us.
The girlies went with Ryan out to Laura's on Christmas Eve. I spent the evening alone with thoughts of you and memories of Christmas' past...seems to be becoming the tradition now. We went to Megan and Chuck's on Christmas day and had a wonderful dinner. Ryan and Autumn joined us later. Laura, Gene and the kids opted to stay at home. We have not been able to all get together as a family since you have been gone...there just is no family unity anymore and that is so sad.
I'm happy for you...I'm sure your Christmas was glorious in Heaven with your mom and dad, John and all the many relatives and friends, but the emptiness you left behind is so hard for me...living every day without you is hard for me. Not a moment goes by that I don't think about you and miss you.
I look forward to the day when we can be together again...until then, I will be loving you forever, Tish

Dear family and friends,
It is with great sadness that I relay to all of you the recent death of Jon Hydrick. Jon was a young man(25), fighting leukemia. We first met Jon and his fiance, Kristen, at Duke in December 2001. I have never met a more amazing couple. Jon had a fighting spirit and Kristen's undaunting love and care were unmatched. Jon's passing will leave a void in this world, but a wonderful addition to the next.
Please keep Kristen and their families in your prayers as they face the difficult days ahead.
Love,M.C.

Hello to the wonderful Hurt family - Although we have not spoken in a while - our thoughts are never far from you - the trip sounds "like Bob" and we know he WILL enjoy your being there - with him - our prayers are with you always to help keep you strong and moving forward - and - hopefully for happiness - as you know that is what Bob will want. Not many a day passes when something happens and I don't think of Bob - some funny story - or nutty comment - or concern for someone else - That is what makes "Bob" Bob - but I don't need to tell you that - Please toast a toast for those of us who will be with you in thoughts and spirit - and enjoy - as Bob will enjoy with you!

Love always - The mosers

Happy Father's Day my love. I miss you so much!!! Took flowers out to the cemetery...Megan and Chuck beat me out there. It sure was crowded. It was a beautiful day today...a "Bob Hurt" day as you would say. I remember last year it was a bit colder...we were out on the deck and you were wearing your hooded Duke sweatshirt.
This has been a really busy couple of weeks. You would have been so proud of Briana at her graduation. She is getting so grown up. I'm sure you were right there with us. I know it was very sad for her to not have you there with her in person. Everything is so hard and sad without you.
Soon we will be going to Costa Rica. I thought it would be fitting to be there in the Third World Bar toasting you on the anniversary of your death...certainly not a celebration, but to be at a place that you loved. It sure won't be the same without you, but it's one of my fondest memories that I will treasure forever. I'm so gld we were able to have that time together in paradise. If I could just turn back time...!
Lovin' you forever, Tish

Happy Fathers Day, Daddy! I miss you very much and I hope that you have a nice day in Heaven today with Bop! Chuck and I took fresh flowers out to your grave. It is a beautiful sunny day here. I love you so much!

Those visiting this guestbook and reading Monica's message...we are planning a trip to Costa Rica at the end of June. We hope to be in the Third World Bar on July 4th to toast Bob (one of his favorite places in the world). I feel certain that when his spirit isn't roaming the Grand Canyon with his Balding Eagles, he's hanging out in that lttle section of heaven. Anyone wishing to join us, is most welcome. It could become your favorite place in the world too! Who doesn't need to get away for a little R&R?! I know I sure do. I'm hoping all of my children are going to be able to make the trip.
P.S. My niece is in Iraq (not Iran). I'm not clear on the specifics of her job, however, it's my understanding that her unit is involved in the "sniffing-out" and dealing with chemical weapons...a very hazardous job indeed!
love, M.C.

Mary Clare,

I just read your entry about the trip to Duke... Count on me for next year's trip! Sorry to hear about Megan's emergency visit. Please, everyone going on the trip to Costa Rica stay healthy (Costa Rica has excellent healthcare, but I'm sure nobody wants to spend such precious time at a hospital).

p.s. Bob--
We will be with your spirit at the Third World Bar in Tamarindo this summer!

MC --

Please think about NOT closing down this site ever. Its existence serves as a path for Bob's legacy and for your love and commitment to your life together.

Love,

Happy New Year, Daddy! It is so sad that last night was the first time in my life that I didn't get to talked to you at midnight and wish you a Happy New Year. Actually, I take that back..I did silently wish you one, you just couldn't talk back. I'm sure you were celebrating with us all in your own way. I love and miss you!

Merry Christmas, Daddy! We all miss you so much and wish you were still with us to celebrate. But...you have the greatest gift of all...you get to spend Christmas with Jesus and Mommom and Bop, Grandma, Uncle John, Aunt Laura, Aunt Mary and Uncle Ron and anyone else up there in Heaven. I will be visiting your grave today (in the snowstorm!) We will be spending Christmas at your house. I know that you are with us, smiling down. Please keep Mom, Ryan, Briana, Kayla and the Schellinger clan safe on their trip. Christmas will never be the same without you. Actually, every day is not the same without you. I think about you every single day. Now the only gift I can ever give to you on Christmas is my love. Merry Christmas, Daddy. I love you so very much!

I am deeply sorry for your loss.

God Bless you and your family.

It all comes down to a matter of luck.
Luck not to get GBM in the first place
If you do get, luck to have it in a place they can operate
luck to not have it come back if they do
luck that the chemo works
luck the chemo doesnt kill you
I was never a lucky person.... until I got GBM4

Raleigh, NC - Friday, August 23, 2002 at 10:14 PM (CDT)

Mary Clare,
I check almost every day to see if you have updated the site. Your words are so touching and heartfelt and for those of us who knew you and Bob and traveled your journey through the years, good,bad and indifferent, know the love and devotion not only Bob had for you but you shared for him as well.

Although our lives grew apart over the last few years when we would speak it would be just like we had never not been in touch on a daily basis. And I knew, that you knew all you had to do was ask and I would be at your side. You have always been more of a sister to me than a friend and for that I thank God.

Maybe it is because you and Bob were together for so long, and I'm sure you don't even realize it but you exhibit many of the same wonderful qualities that Bob had. You are a beautiful person in and out, caring, loving, proud and totally giving of yourself for others. You and Bop were a reflection of each other and now although Bob is not present on earth he will always be with you, you will carry his reflection every day in your life.

The healing process is a long and hard journey and what a legacy the two of you have created. A legacy that will give you strenth every day to carry on even when you don't want to. How sad the thought that life does go on after such a horrific loss. But with each passing day it does, and it is what you make of the passing days that will give you the strength and courage to go on to the next.

I know you believe that your life will be unbearable with out Bob, but it is because of Bob that each day will be able to be bearable. Let his strength and his courage and his ever so positive attitude be the driving force behind you. Let his death be an example to how, not only you, but all of us live our lives. You are surounded by so much love. Love that was created because of both of you in your friends your family your beautiful children and your delightful grandbabies-

Your heart if so full of the pain and sorrow of your loss but time, love, and Bob will someday make that pain soften-

You are one of my best friends in the whole world and I am helpless, again, to make things better for you--I know I don't have to tell you this but call me anytime and a I'll be there. (Sounds like a song!)

I love you girlfriend!

Mary Clare, I am so sorry and I think of you everyday.

Thank you for being a friend and resource for Kristen. I know she will never forget you.

And yes, she was so right when she said what a wonderful man Bob was.

So many things we dont know about people until something happens, then we find out how truly great their lives have been.

I am glad you have your children to support you and I wish you peace and solitude knowing Bob is no longer in pain or suffering because he is in a better place.

My thoughts are with you during this difficult time. You are right that you can never be prepared for things like this, but know that the Lord is with you. He will guide you through this. After reading Bob's webpage from Saturday, it is obvious that he was a very wonderful man. He has touched many lives as have you Mary Clare, mine included! I wish you the very best.
Love,

Mary Clare,

I can't begin to tell you how badly I felt when Bob P. called me in Florida to tell me that your Bob had passed away. I felt so far away and unable to do anything. I am just thankful that I was able to visit with Bob when I did.

You and your family are loved and supported by soooo many wonderful, caring people. What a blessing in your time of sadness.

I will stop by to see you very soon. You are in my thoughts. Peace and love to you. Kathy

I was so sorry to read/hear the news. I still can't believe what Bob, you and your family have gone through in a short year. I know this is very hard for you and your family (especially since you gave it your all to try anything to help Bob get better), but I'm sure Bob is in a better place now and without pain and suffering. I just hope you keep your faith to help you and your family get through this. I can only imagine the pain you and your family are going through now. Take care of yourselves and God Bless you all!! Bob was a wonderful person!!

Mary Clare and Family,
We cannot even begin to tell you all the things we are thinking and feeling today. We are grateful that God found a way to bring the lives of your family and ours together through Bob. He was a wonderful man, with an absolute passion for his family. To have lived his life as he did, loving, caring, humorous, and courageous is something that each of us in our family takes away as a gift in having known him. He was truly a man of tremendous honor, and never lost sight of that which was most important to him - his family. Our lives are all enriched and made much better in having called Bob our friend. Our loss is clearly heavens gain. We love you all dearly.

Our prayers are with you for a peaceful transition - and that Bob will not suffer as he has in the past weeks - As horrible as that may seem - you all need peace - in knowing that you have done all you could do for Bob and yourselves. And we all know that Bob knows and understands - and has fought hard - for himself and for all of you - God will grant you the strength to continue - and to accept - as difficult as that may be - Our prayers are always with you. We hope it helps just a little. Love you all - Barbara, Gordon, Katy, Gordon and Rebecca

Dear Mary Claire: It is so difficult to understand why things happen the way that they do. Honestly I think that it is beyond our realm of comprehension. Please know that even though you may feel alone, you are constantly in our thoughts and prayers. Some of what Bob is displaying may be due to the morphine (it has some hard to watch side effects that certain people react). It may not appear to be so but I know that you are a comfort to him on this journey. You are such a wonderful person and are giving him tremendous care. Take a bit of comfort in that. You are making the difference in his life. I'm sure that you have surprised yourself in your strength and even if you don't feel it, we all see it--it is there. Keep your heart open and keep doing what you are doing. God bless you all. Loveyou.

Dear Mary Clare and Bob,

We are so sorry for the pain both you and Bob must endure now. We hope for both of you peace and calm soon. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers daily.

Your journal entry of July 3 makes us cherish even more the lunch we shared with you guys and Barb Moser several weeks ago. Despite his manifold problems, Bob had the courage to relax and be his old, witty self with his former officemates. In awe of his inner strength, we added it to the list of extraordinary attributes this kind and gentle man has always exhibited.

Reading your journal entry, we are likewise amazed at your own inner strength, Mary Clare. That you can write with such clarity and grace in the face of your pain is testament to your own incredible courage.

We would like to help out in any way that you could use help. Could we bring over breakfast, lunch or dinner for you, Mary Clare, perhaps today or tomorrow--or whenever? Please let us know whatever we can do to ease your burden.

Love,

Who knows why what has happened happened, but I'm sure God loves you all!!! He apparently has something planned for Bob that we will never know and why!!!

Dear Bob & MC: Just wanted you both to know that prayers are being sent daily(probably hourly)on your behalf.You are on the prayer chain at my church(I am pretty sure Baptists can pray for Catholics!!!!!)Also wanted you to know that we have a little situation of our own going on-my niece Stephanie will have surgery next week at Children's Hospital. She has a very good neurosurgeon, seems part of her cerebellum has pushed into the canal where the brain stem connects to the spinal cord and is pushing on the brain stem. Obviously not good. They have advised immediate surgery since there is no way to tell when her symptoms will become life threatening. Steph just wants to know how long she will have to wait to wash her hair! She is supposed to start Virginia Tech in the fall. All these smart people with these brain problems! Well my dear friend, I think of you each and every day and if love is all we really need, you guys have it in spades!God is still in control despite the madness. Love,Karen

Dear Bob and MC - sounds like the walls were bursting with family and friends - Isn't that how it should be? All the kids and grandkids (even feathered ones! - and I thought only our family had strange relatives) Glad all were there to enjoy it! But Bob, you've got to stop burning the candle at both ends! Do you think you're still at Notre Dame??? GET SOME REST - PLEASE! Hope the medication adjustment helps - if not - how about a large mallet? (Just kidding of course) You are never far from our thoughts - and, of course, always in our prayers - Love you all - Barbara

Hello Bob and Flary - Planning on coming your way again this weekend. Going to drag Boyd along. Am so happy to hear that Bob is getting more rest and seems less agitated. I am sure that has also helped your agitation level Flare. So, now that Bob is sleeping, does that mean your back to sleeping on the couch M.C. and I go back to the floor? Just kidding. You have no idea how wonderful it is to hear that you are talking and joking around Bob. Nick and Elaine send their thoughts and many prayers. They ask about you constantly. Do you need anything from SB? We'll be coming in on Friday night as usual. See you soon. Love you all, Anne

Hi Mary Clare and Bob---So sorry to hear about your latest news. I've been thinking about you quite often, you have both been in my prayers and thoughts. We have been very busy with my mom too. She has been in the hospital for the last six months. She has had 5 surgeries, 1 skin graf, several infections and numerous problems related to her diabetes. Since the middle of May she has been in and out of the intensive care unit and for about 3 weeks we didn't know if she was going to pull through. This past week she seems to have responded somewhat from all her meds and now the doctors say we just have to wait and see. the rest is up to how much her body can tolerate . Robbie graduated June 5th from St. Joe and we had a party for him on June 9th and as Kathy mentioned he is in Paris, France right now and on Monday he's going on to Spain until June 26th. It was a trip sponsored thru the high school which he saved up his own money to go on. We told him we have to think about College expenses now. He is going to Holy Cross College. He's really looking forward to it. I know what you mean about the end of the school year and all it's activities. For the past six weeks me and my sisters have been taking turns going to the hospital and either staying with my mom or helping at feeding times. She has a feeding tube and oxygen a permenant pic line for all her IV's but she eats food to help suppliment her. At times she didn't even know us for days. But we go from day to day which I'm sure you know alot about. Keep up your spirits and don't give up! Love ya, Patti

Dear Mary Clare and Bob,
I love you guys and feel so bad about what is happening to you. I don't know what to say except I am still praying and thinking about you all so much. I have just tried to call Patti, Judy and Lis. Only got ahold of Lis. She and Leo are in Indianapolis staying at Eric's house for a while and will go back to Sarasota soon. Patti was at the Ethnic Feastival in South Bend with Courtney and Bob had just got off the phone with Rob who is in Paris, France. Mark and I were in Orlando last weekend babysitting for Matt's kids so they could go on a short cruise. I have a very nice job and I miss you and wish I could do something for you to make you feel better. I love you both. You are such a great couple and have a great family. I will always remember our little get together for our 50th birthdays.
(My heart hurts for you)

Boy, I think that MC is ready for her MD after learning dosing and assorted medical techniques. Bob what wonderful hands you are in. My heart is resting easier knowing that you have recieved a much needed reprieve. I hope that all of your nights are restful and your days filled with love of family and friends.

Dear MC & Bob (and the rest of the Hurt clan) I am not sure what I am going to type here that will adequately express what my heart feels right now. I know that I am grateful for this stupid computer for the first time in my life! You have been in my heart and mind for so long now, and my prayers have changed so much over the last year. My prayer right now is that the presence of God will be felt and you will find comfort and peace in the assurance that God is still in control. I am sure that is difficult to feel right now, but I believe it with all my heart and wish with all my being that your hearts will be comforted by love and peace. Actually they already are as I look at the tons of guest book entries of all the many people who love you and are praying for you. These entries are just a sliver of the many lives you have touched. I know I have said this to you before but you know the influence you both have had on me in the early years of my life. I just wish you knew how much I now see God's divine hand in all of this, because you both continue to teach me what life is really all about, what it means to have a loving marriage and family,even if it is now only by those occasional marathon telephone calls, yearly christmas cards and birthday cards over the past 30 years! It sounds as though you have more than enough support and people to help, but if any of my nursing skills(another one of your influences, MC!) would help,I could come up, just say the word. I would be honored and privileged to do so. I just don't want to be in your way. I love you both so much, even though time and distance have separated us, my prayers go up daily for strength and your burdens to be lightened. My special prayer for Bob: Dear Lord, please place your loving hand of peace on your child, he places his faith and trust in you and you promise to answer all those who seek your face and ask. Amen. Love forever, Karen

- Tuesday, June 11, 2002 at 03:26 PM (CDT)

just a quick note for all who may be wondering what's happening - Bob was admitted to Cleveland Clinic Hospice Unit yesterday to see if they can figure out a way to make him rest - he's been awake for the better part of the last 3 weeks - only sleeping in brief very restless stretches - MC also has had probaby even less sleep. He's been there 24 hours and had a bad night last night - they don't have the medicines right yet. they started or will start phenobarbital today and see if that helps. if it works and he sleeps and has no agitated periods for 24 hours, they will send him home. the earliest that could be would be tomorrow afternoon. Megan or Monica will likely do a more detailed update later. MC is of course at the clinic too and won't be home until Bob is. Mary Clare is very grateful for all the love,prayers and other expressions of support (as we all are). Keep praying. Thanks

Hi Bob and MC: Leanne filled me in on what has been happening. What a trial for you all! I keep this prayer in my Bible and wanted to share it with you. It has given me great serenity and hope it works for you too. Keep your faith; He IS with us.

Dear Lord Jesus, You have said, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, ..." meaning those who realize that they cannot do it alone. ... Help me to realize that I need You in my life each day; I need Your wisdom, and I need to know that Your love is constant and that Your grace is sufficient to sustain me. ... As I prepare for uncertain times ahead, help me to yield to Your sovereignty, to trust Your faithfulness, and to desire to serve You as I seek Your will for my life.

In Your holy name I pray. Amen.

I will continue to keep you all in my prayers.

P.S. To Bob and M.C.'s Friends,

I forgot to tell you all, that when I was visiting M.C. and Bob last weekend, M.C. was sitting at the computer after she had gotten Bob and the kids settled down for the night, and was reading Bob's guestbook. She told me that reading your entries and words of support were good therapy for her. You have no idea how special each and everyone of you are to Bob and M.C. Thank you for being there for them and your friendships. Also, if any of you would like to e-mail me direct about Bob, feel free. I'm not the quickest at responses, but I will get back to you. I may be driving M.C. and Bob to Duke next week, in the event you e-mail me and I don't respond for a few days.

To All of Bob and Mary Clare's Wonderful Friends,

You have no idea what all your continued thoughts, care, concerns, and prayers have meant to my sister and brother-in-law. Many of you I have not yet met, but believe me, your friendship to my family has been exactly what they have needed, but more importantly, what is keeping them going and to continue their fight. Men, father's, husband's don't come any better than Bob Hurt. He is truly a unique and admirable man. As for my sister, I wish I had her strength and courage. Please, please, continue all your thoughts, words of encouragement and, most of all, prayers for Bob and M.C. Both of them need it more than ever right now. I wish I could thank each of you personally because I don't know where Bob and M.C. would be without you. Peace and God be with you all. Bob's favorite sister-in-law, Anne

Hi Bob and MC, anxiously awaiting the latest news and praying that its all good!! My youngest, Steven, spent the weekend at Soutwest Hospital (due to severe dehydration from a nasty bug) and it was so draining. I give you both so much credit for keeping up with fight and not giving up. We had a little excitement around here as well. The electrician or builder (not sure which one, as neither will take credit) put the circuit breaker frame on the wire to the master bedroom. A little over a year later the wire finally wore through. The power went out just to the master bedroom so I went down to flip the switch. Guess what happens when metal meets metal? I got the loudest bang, fireworks (sparks) and a little shock to last me a lifetime. It also knocked the 220 line so the whole house went black. After recovering from the heart attack (not really) all is fine and fixed. Thought you could use a little humor. Enough of my troubles you all remain in my thoughts and prayers. When Steven recovers and I'm sure I'm not carrying any germs (ok, no more than usual) I'd love to stop over!! Take care

Bob, I am late in telling you and Mary Clare how much I enjoyed my visit of a couple of weeks ago. I especially enjoyed our conversations, whether it be about growing up, the Indians, Notre Dame, MoM & Dad, our families. I very much enjoyed being with your family, so much like mine in many ways. Pass on to Gene and Laura thanks for the
superb dinner at their lovely restaurant. And don't think I've ever had a waiter as efficient and charming as Ryan! I just saw the pictures, although I 've been to your book many times. There is definitely no doubt about who the handsome brother is in that picture--I think the polls have decided it is the one on the right! All my love to Briana, Kayla, and Megan too, along with Monica and Kathy. Don't we have great siblings! I love you and Mary Clare very much and the prayers are continuing. Your bother, Larry

Hi Bob, MC and fanily,
I'm glad I have this chance to send you a note. This is a very interesting website. Thank goodness for this modern techie stuff. The weather doesn't help any of us and it is especially unpleasant when your not feeling very good. I found the pictures from Christmas two years ago when we all visited with Santa at Bob and Jeannie's. Poor Santa - I don't think he minded the kids and the ladies but some of the guys sitting on his knee were pretty large!! Nothing too much from the Link side of the family - Frank and Cheryl finally bought a house and will be moving on June 1st. Billy and Kathy are looking. I think I'm going to be busy. Take care - prayers are being said - you have a great network of family and friends. Love, Nancy

Hi guys! Great pics - not too much family resemblence there with Bob and his brother!!! Kayla - wow has she grown (I won't tell her she was just a baby when I last saw her but.... ) And Ryan looks great too! We'll be praying for you during that June visit at Duke - Hope they give some much needed good news for a change - Gee - for what you pay these doctors you think they would be a little more positive!!! Just can't get good help these days.

Now that the weather is cooperating (yeah - right) hopefully we can have one of those long lunches near the river downtown - promise not to stick you on that water taxi again, Bob. (Hey - I wasn't even at lunch with you that day!!!)

Keep up the spirits - and know that many people think of you often and pray for all of you always.

Love you - Barbara

Hey! It's about time you updated! Hope you enjoyed your visit with Ann and Patty Sue.

Bob and I took Maureen and Don Diver to Laura & Gene's resturant Friday. She said you were coming down on Saturday. The food was fantastik!

We are busy trying to get the boat ready to launch on Tuesday-the weather sure has been against us. In fact Bob is there tonight (Monday) He is probably freezing and soaked!

I have been traveling often and time just seems to fly by. I don't know if summer will ever come weather wise-hopefully in a few weeks we will be complaining when we are all too hot.

Please let me know if there is anything Bob and I can do to help. I know......pray, but we are all doing that!

Well hang in there--that trampoline sounds interesting--I would love to see it!

All the rain and cold weather has dampened many spirits but it never seems to have an affect on your positive attitude. Sorry I haven't written for awhile.

Now that spring is on its way (or trying to be on its way), I'm praying things will start getting brighter and sunnier!!! Michelle thought I'd be off the day the gang met for lunch but I wasn't - maybe next time I can make lunch. You both are amazing!!! Keep the faith!!!!

I loved your visit to my classroom this week. It was sooooo good to see you. The kids were very excited because they also care about you and pray for you lots!!! They ask about you all the time. They want to make you more cards, so they will be coming your way!
You are a brave and Christ-like man. I admire you from the bottom of my heart. I saw your pictures on the website too. They are wonderful. Did I tell you, Bob, that I think you are so good-looking! Your son, Ryan, looks like you too. Love, Ginny Garey

Sorry to hear about Bob's last seisure. How are your kids doing? I can only imagine what life is like when you two are trying to just stay alive. I hope the little girls are okay and that they know that they will always be loved and taken care of by your wonderful family. My husband, Mark, had Orthoscopic (sp) surgery Thursday, May 2, on his knee. He is doing very well. Never stopped talking all the rest of the day. I couldn't wait to go back to work. I don't know why he acted that way? He takes very good care of us all and I thank God for him. Hope you can enjoy the weather. You are always in ny prayers and thoughts.

Bob and Mary Clare,
I see Mary (Bob's sister) at work quite often and she always gives me a brief update on how you are all doing. She also gave me this website address! I think of you often and remember the good times way back when (Plumber's picnic--pitching when I was 9 mos. pregnant, nights at Barons). We sure had alot of good laughs! I know Bob P. has tried calling (at least he told me he has). I'd love to spend some time with both of you. I'll drink the beer and smoke the cigarettes and try to provide some useful (or useless) conversation.

Mary Clare: call me at work (216)813-4778. Maybe we can figure out a night that would work for you.

Dear Bob and Mary Claire,
I LOVE YOU!!! Every single day and night your entire family are in my prayers. I need you to know how much inspiration your family gives to me. Your children are absolutely fantastic people, and my life forever knows the legacy, (you two) together created out of your exclusive love for each other. I have told you from the day I met you, my life has been (and continues to be) profoundly blessed. Thank you.
Bob and Mary Claire, I met your daughter, Laura, at a time when she was confused about the value of her own self worth. Through many circumstances later, our relationship grew into something very "family" like. Laura introduced Doug and me, to you, Bob, Megan, Ryan, Brianna and Kayla. I love every single one of you. Because of her, and because of your entire family; I am no less than 100% positive how richly I am blessed by God. I love you so much.
"Bob, I am anticipating the next (you promised) time, when I get to dance with you." :-) ...And for that matter, "you too, Mary Claire!" :-)
Thanks to the two of you, I have firsthand knowledge of what God intended family to be. I hope to one day, come close to what your family represents. Only then, will I be able to smile and say, "Thank you," to all those people (like me), whose lives I (either directly of indirectly, -like you two) influenced positively. To me, that would be the best compliment in the world.
I LOVE YOU!! THANK YOU!! ILOVE YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!

Dear M.C. and Bob-

You are in my thoughts and prayers daily-I feel like such a bad friend because my life is so busy I haven't the appropriate time to give to such dear wonderful friends, but you do know if ever there comes the time when you need me to be there for you, nothing would stop me from being at your side.
Jaclyn and Nolan made their communion this past Saturday--they were so cute!
All of our family asks about you regularly and it seems I am the "beat reporter"! Everyone sends their love and prayers.
Now, Bob, you have to hang in there so we can get you out to the boat- If we have to wheel you down the dock we will-
once you are on board all you have to do is sit and relax.
Bob and I send all our love and hope to see you soon.

Love

It's unbelievable! I'd have crumbled long ago! Know you are never alone in your "fight" - even if we aren't there in body - we are always there in spirit!!! Looking forward to our next visit - Hoping it warms up soon and we can "get outside" for nice outdoor lunch or whatever!

Yo---Captain Bob, I was going to get you out today for a picnic lunch but its a little chilly yet to say the least and I'm WAY behind at work. How about I call you Monday about 11:00 to see if your up to a bag lunch in the park?If the weather does not cooperate, we are both VIPs (ha) at the Middleburg Rec Center and could take our lunches there. I just completed my account of our last canyon trip and have it ready for you. I could read same for you and/or your family could do the same at a later date. At any rate, I'll call you late Monday AM. If you already know that is a "bummer" date, feel free to call 842-6200 ext1224 anytime so we can pick out a convenient time. I'll check w/ Pumpin Jack Flash to see if he can join us. See ya soon.

Me again...in my haste to complete the latest journal entry before aol kicked me off, I forgot to mention that we now have some photos entered...click "photos". Monica is still working on getting the size right and the captions underneath the appropriate photo, but it's a start. The 1st photo is of Bob and I at the Duke basketball game just prior to his seizure. The 2nd (I think) is of Bob with David Bailey at his recent concert here. The 3rd, is of Bob and our son, Ryan, at Bob's birthday party Jan.28th. No...that is not a gaudy earring on Ryan's ear, but a light hanging from the bar behid him. However it did prompt us to think of adding the caption The birthday boy with his boy-toy Roy, a name given to Ryan by his siter, Megan, years ago when she used to force him to play house with her and her girlfriend and he's never lived that down.
So enjoy and if we learn to master this technology, you may look forward to more photos in the future.

Hi Bob & MC, it's me from my sickbed (not really - I am in front of my computer). sorry to wimp out on you for tomorrow - I was looking forward to a nice relaxing lunch (did I say free lunch?) at Circo after. my recent experience as the patient is yet one more reason again to marvel at how well both of you are coping with more dr. visits, more serious problems, and all that stuff with far more grace than I am able to manage. so I think I will just suck it up and sign off now. I should be well enough to venture out by the weekend so I should see you then. hope the day is a good one. Love, Marcia

I just wanted to drop in and say hello and let you know that we think of you and your family often. I usually depend on Wake to give me latest updates as he reads these much more often than I.

Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you. Take care and I hope each day brings improvement.

Hello there. Hope all is going well today. I have been thinking of you often although I do have to admit that I do not read your webpage as often as I would like. As I am sure that you, Mary Clare, can relate, AOL often likes to limit my internet time as well. I have the same problem while trying to update Jon's webpage. It is rather nerve-racking, I know.
Again, I do hope that things are looking up and I will continue to keep you both in my prayers! God bless you!
Love,

Hi Bob: This is my first attempt at this guestbook stuff (sounds like a confessional statement) - hope I don't mess it up. Got a note from Mary Clare - and saw your buddies at the office. Although the newest news is not the best - better things will come - Our prayers are with you all - I updated Marilyn Singer with the information I had - and we will swing by for lunch when she returns from San Fran. As always - if there is anything we can do (Mary Clare - I have a stack of shirts to iron - I'll pick up your stuff and at least add it to mine!) let us know! Keep your spirits up - we're all here supporting you!

Hi Bob & MC, We are looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. Our plane arrives in Cleveland at 5:59 pm. We will pick up a rental car at the airport & head over to your house. I imagine it will be sometime around 7:00-7:30. Luckily we were able to get a straight flight through. We are glad to hear that the chemo went well. And, yes MaryClare, I do bathrooms and iron!! love, Kathy

Hi - Bob's sister signed my Mom's website the other night, and e-mailed your website to me today. I really enjoy having someone else to follow. Especially since both Bob and Mom are being seen at Duke.

You are exactly right about the humor thing. We call it our "cancer humor". Funny thing is - Mom is usually the one making the jokes. I will keep you and your family in our daily prayers - as we consider all B.T. patients part of our extended family.

We will keep you in our hearts as we walk in the Angels Among Us walk at Duke on Saturday. Maybe next year we can walk together.

Love, Wanda

I have not been connected to our internet for a while... it is good to be back. I really missed checking this website. The recent update is not what we all want to hear, but it gives us more of a chance to rely on our faith. Bob, I hope you and Mary Clare continue to amaze us all! You are really a blessing to all of us.
Our Slicers lost their first game yesterday. But they have been doing very well otherwise.

Dear Bob and Mary Clare,
I am so inspired by your persistance and positive attitude. As you already know, that is really what it takes: a positive attitude and a continued belief in the Lord. He will give you strength and remember 'Let go and let God'. I truly believe that our successes in Jon's transplant have been because of our family and friends continued support and prayers, including yours and your family. I would like to thank you all for your support for Jon and I. I love to read all of your entries as I am sure you love to read the entries on Bob's page. It has become a daily ritual and I do not know what I will do when the time comes to stop the daily updates and entries.
Just continue to fight the fight and you will succeed. You are an inspiration Bob and I believe your positive attitude will take you far throughout this long, hard process.
Good luck and I will continue to keep you in my prayers!
Love,
Kristen

Wow, what an update. I feel so inadequate as a friend--all I offer is prayers.

M.C. You are so much stronger than you could ever believe you could be and of course Bob would have a positive outlook on what ever he did.

We are all pulling and praying for you--both of you! Keep fighting I would expect you to do nothing less and when you need us let us know.

The boat goes in May 14th let's get you out as soon as possible.

Dear Bob,
I am Brian Kerns cousin, his side got all the looks and brains, oh well. Seriously, I will be praying for healing, comfort and peace; that the Lord help you through this difficult time in your life. It has been one year since I was diagnosed with colon cancer. May 4, 2001, the cancer and my colon were sucessfully removed and I pray every day that the Lord use me however He wishes, so far everything is doing great. I can tell you that my first reaction of fear was quickly transformed to that of gratitude, that wow, I am a Christian and that Jesus has a place for me when this old body winds down. Keep your eyes toward Him and not on your illness, it's hard but you have hundreds of loving people praying for you. I will add you to my church's prayer list and Men's group prayer chain. Stay strong! God's peace be with you. Jeff

Steve, John and I eat like we're on decadron all the time (well maybe it's just Steve and I)....(well, maybe it's only me that eats like he's on decadron)...Anyway, the point is you owe us several lunches, so don't think for a minute we're falling for this lame, sorry-guys-but-I-got-a-chemo-date excuse again.

Don't really know what to say other than you are the most amazing man I have ever met in my life. Bob, I thank you so much for being a part (and remaining a part) of this family for so long. You know, you are the only person that can keep "The Queen" in line. I thank and bless you for that. You are a wonderful friend also Bob.

The people there are very nice. I will not be able to watch the TV Sunday. Mark is out of town and I am having some girlfriends over for a get-together. A friend is in town. I pray that you both are feeling okay and that God gives leads you to the right decisions and Doctors.

Hey Bob,
I finally have something interesting to share - Karen called me from NYC to tell about hanging out last night with Rod Stewart - he met up with her in the bar of the New York Hilton and persuaded her to accompany him to an Irish pub for a bit, claiming he was lonely. She can fill you in on the details. I will be receiving an autograph because Karen told him how much I love Maggie May. I told her she should have given him Monica's phone number, as he is single (yet again) and the right age for Monica. But we thought of it too late - he's off to London. So now I'm back to work and hoping that you're feeling better today. See you Sunday.

Hi Bob & Mary Claire,

We just found out about your web page from Laura & Jimmy and had to check it out. I hope this note finds you in good spirits and from all I read it sounds as though it will. Bob, though we haven't spoken in awhile,(I enjoyed very much our phone chat that we had a few months back)you have been in our thoughts and prayers. I have always been a great admirer of yours and now that we have children I find myself thinking of you often as someone I learned a lot from on how to be a selfless and caring parent(you too MC). And now as you handle yet another challenge, you continue to give others a wonderful example on how to live life with courage, grace and love. Please know, though we are in some ways far and distant, you are close in our hearts. You are one of the finest persons I know and you continue to be someone I look up to. I hope this note in some small way conveys this feeling. Thank you for sharing this web page with all. We hope we can see you soon. Take care. Our love to you and to the whole family.

hello Bob & Mary Clare (and Monica and Brianna & Kayla)- I am just back from Texas last night and couldn't believe the weather - I left 70 degree weather for snowy & overcast. I missed being in touch while I was gone - although Tim & Suzy have a computer & internet access, it just seems like there is always something else to do - the kids are great but very time consuming. it's reassuring to hear that you are through round 1 of chemo. I am still praying & know that many others are also. Talk to you.

So BOb is gearing up for Tai Kwan DO! I am impressed.
Honestly, the medicine routine and regulation sounds like you are training for pharmacy school! What an education.
Glad you have had an ok time with this round. Wishing you continued progress. It is wonderful to have all this info at the simple click on the keyboard. THANKS!
Take care!
Love,

I hope your Temodor continues to go well, Bob. I'm almost done cleaning up after Dave's 50th b'day party, just in time for his visit back to Bemidji tomorrow! It'll be great to have him home, as brief as his visit will be. Thoughts and prayers are with you and MC and the family. Happy Spring!!

Hi, Mary Clare and Bob. It's Kathy from Kansas. Yes you are still on my prayer list. No job here for me yet. Your progress amazes me and I also don't understand everything. Bob, how fortunate you are to have Mary Clare and all her knowledge and support to get thru this. Keep up the good work and never give up. Never. Never.

Lots of Love and Prayers, Kathy (Shafer) Rawie

Hi Bob & M.C. -
Just checking in to say hi. I know that Jim called and had a long chat w/ Mary Clare over the weekend. I was driving the "monster van" and couldn't really catch much of the conversation, but it sounds like things are "status quo". Glad to hear that Bob is finding some time to workout. I've been trying to workout lately and have such a hard time motivating to do it. It always makes me feel better, but I always have to talk myself into it so congratulations, Bob, for your effort. M.C. -- what are you doing for yourself these days? Hope there's something. As always, you are in our thoughts and prayers. When we manage to sit down together for dinner as a family we always say a prayer first. John typically leads the prayer and always "dedicates" it to Uncle Bob. Love to all -- Laura

Dear Bob and Mary Clare,

Good afternoon to you both. I just checked in to see how everything was going today. We hope the new week finds you still on the upswing and with the sun shinning your way.

According to the previous entries that I have read from your
family and friends, it looks as though you have a tremendous
amount of support coming in from all over this great country
of ours. Remember that "The Goodens" from Elkton, Va. are
thinking of you, and that you are in our prayers as well.

Best of everything,

Dear Bob and Mary Clare,
What a great testimony of your cirlcle of love! Over 1000 entries in such a short time! I have enjoyed reading these, and am sure you look forward to reading these daily. You sure do have a lot of people praying for you! I am excited to have this available, so we don't have to constantly ask Boyd for updates. We just heard about this today, and I plan to check in frequently. Very glad you are feeling stronger each day, and wishing you continued progress in your daily journey. Our prayers our with you and on this St. Patrick's Day, I am sure you are receiving some extra ones from some Irish fans of yours in heaven. Wishing you continued improvement each day! Love you and praying for all of you!

Hi! I am Kristen's sister and like my dad this is my first time visiting your web page. Although I have been keeping you in my thoughts and prayers since I first heard of your situation. I just wanted to say "hi" and let you know that you both will continue to be in my prayers and I hope all goes well for you.

Take Care,

Dear Bob and Mary Clare,

I am Kristen Gooden's father, and I just checked your webpage for the first time, and I want you to know that we are sending a lot of prayers your way, too.
Mary Clare has been so nice in sending quite a bit of encouragement Jon's and Kristen's way, that my wife, Debbie, and I have often wondered how you(Bob) are getting along.
I now have your webpage address and can follow your progress on a daily basis. The availability of these webpages are such a fantastic service that these companies provide. It certainly does make it easier and more efficient to keep family and friends in contact with one
another.
It is good to hear that you are doing better, and you
just recently had a "milestone" day. Here is wishing you and your's the best, on your way to a complete recovery.
God bless.

Sincerely,
Wakefield Gooden

Bob and Mary Clare, It's a rainy night in Dixie, I'm here alone. Tracy's at her part-time K-Mart job, the girls are out with friends, and Sam has another sleep over. That boy sleeps in more residences than a traveling salesman
We are all very happy with the good reports about your treatment. You and your family stay in our prayers.
Didn't get to see the Irish BB game today--did you? Sammy had a football jamboree today that conflicted. Here in GA. there is still a 3 week spring football period that ended today. They played 5 teams 30 mins. each--won 2 and tied three. Sam played conerback--made quite a few tackles and got a very tough interception. But I digress--I think if we would have played Duke tomorrow, on St. Patrick's Day,
we would have won. You can still kid your Duke doctors however about the Irish becoming a BB power again and giving the Blue Demons all they wanted.
Well, I'll get back to the family laundry--one of the things I do while Tracy's working. Just wanted to check in and tell you that you remain in my thoughts and prayers and I look forward to getting up to Ohio soon. Speaking of Ohio, Rebecca got a solicitation from John Carroll in the mail this week to consider that fine Jesuit institution for college. That wouldn't displease me!
Talk to you soon. Love, Your "big" brother, Larry

Hi Bob and MC - hope you aren't shocked by hearing from me. I felt this was a great time cause I am the 1000th guest to check your web site. Being with you last week-end was great even though we spent most of it at Holy Family. MC - that email with all Bob's medicines was unbelievable. No wonder you're going nuts. I thought I took a lot. I still pray for all of you everyday as I have since this tragedy started. I'm so glad Bob that you're feeling better. Continue the good work. Hope the chemo isn't too bad. Keep in touch. Dad

I have discovered a new way to avoid work - leave messages in your book! and I can feel really good about it. this could be a new self-esteem building exercise. seriously, every family member i talk to tells me they check your website daily as we are all wanting up to the minute information on how things are going. i frequently don't leave messages due to having nothing very interesting to say - but now that i think about it, i talked to one of my and monica's high school teachers yesterday - she used to known as Sister Ligouri when she wore a nun's habit back in the 60's. now she is Sister Lucille and dresses like someone's mom or elderly aunt. in any event, she is very nice and seemed to remeber monica. i mentioned that you (Bob) and monica had been at the St. Joe's Wellness Center. She said you should ask for her when you visit next time - i don't think she has anything to do with wellness but she does live at the St. Joe's Convent. Also, MC, I won 2 door prizes at yesterday's lunch - one is a free haircut and the other a gift certificate at the Outback - so let me know when we can go eat again. this is such a long and generally kind of boring message, I'll surely make you sorry you asked for people to sign the guest book each time they looked at the website. hope to see all of you on saturday. love, marcia

OK, OK I admit it too---I've checked this out plenty of times without leaving a message. MC and Bob, we really do appreciate the updates! (Although I still like to give you a call too.) After reading the disclaimers from our other siblings, I am starting to think lack of computer skills runs in the family. Thanks for keep us informed--- our thoughts and prayers are with you guys!

Hey, Senor Smoke, any chance we'll be seeing you at the office this week? Steve will certainly want to gloat about his fabulous trial result of last week, and I was hoping that we could leave him in a cloud of envious dust, by making sure he can't go, then inviting him to go with you and I to catch a matinee showing of "We Were Soldiers" or some other macho combat movie for guys like Steve who like macho guy type movies. (I've heard these new combat movies fire up your platelet, white blood cell and testosterone counts, so Mary Clare can't object.) Let me know.

(what could someone hide in their toes!) anyway, it wasn't too bad flying again. me, dan & joey are planning a trip to ohio in june when school is out. we'll let you know the exact dates when dan & i can confirm our time off work. we love you and think of you everyday. glad to hear you are feeling good! kathy

so, okay, m.c., I'll leave a message - probably the best way to communicate since you don't ever seem to be at home when I drop by - and yes, I was there today and ran into your dad and Monica just leaving. Father Tom sends his greetings - don't look for any e-mails from him as his computer skills are way below subaverage. I spent the entire day re-bonding with old high school friends and ignoring my responsibility to learn how to drive the new, preowned BMW - perhaps you will hear more about that in the days to come. hopefully we will see you both plus monica and the girls at Layla's b-day party next week. love from marcia (and Tom too)

Dear Mary Clare and Bob:
I can't tell you how many times a day or during the week that I think about you two and your battle. I pray everytime I realize that I thinking about you. How's the kids doing? Right now I am still looking for a job and since I am at home I am taking care of my next door neighbor's house, laundry and playing with her girls. My neighbor, LouAnn, is in Iowa with her family because her Dad is dying from a really bad kind of cancer. The adult kids where called to his bedside two days ago. They are such a neat family. You guys are such a neat family. I'm watching and praying. I try to keep her house up because I don't know what else to do to keep busy. I'm glad God gave us feelings because most of the time we feel good. I hate the bad times. Love you both, Kathy (Shafer)

Hi from a fellow dilantin doser. Don't we have enough to do besides keep track of daily doses of little pills. So many in the morning, so many in the evening, so many at supper time.... I went from 400/day to 500 day and was still having problems with my left hand and arm. I was always under the ideal of 10-20 parts per whatever. Now I'm on 560/day and today I tested 18.5 so my neurologist was proud of himself. I had my first EEG today and find out anything interesting next week. It was a peaceful test--I actually got a nice nap during it. Did I ever tell you about the time I fell asleep during a MRI test. What an incredible way to wake up! Only experienced MRI takers would understand----right Bob. Well I've got 10 out of 30 radiation days out of the way and am enjoying being back in Indpls. I have taken some grief over the Duke t-shirt I've worn a few times, here in the thick of IU country. I was sorry to hear about you having to miss that Duke basketball game. I told people here I tried to go to a game but couldn't get in.....they said I didn't miss anything. Well, time to go eat again. Back on decadron during radiation so I eat 20 - 30 times a day, and everything tastes soooo good. Take care

Dear Mary Clare and Bob:
Just got your e-mail Mary Clare and I need to read it again. I was over whelmed by all that has been going on with Bob and his treatments. I will send this web-site to my folks. Mom asks every time that I talk to her how Bob and Mary Clare are doing. They have a WEB-TV and can e-mail all of us kids. Mark and I just got back from visiting my folks in Destim, FL for a week. It was in the high 60's but alot of fun. I cherish every moment with them. They are in great health. They are always going to the doctor the fix this or that, but I am so proud of them for taking such good care of themselves.(Rosie & Fred Shafer) I just gto two rejections for job interviews and am feeling sorry for myself and then I think of you two and things could be worse. Every single time I thinks about you I pray to God for Bob's recovery. I also went to see Lis and Leo in Sarasota the first of February. They seem very happy and they have a darling house. I can't imagine being retired at 50 years old. I'll write again soon.
Love you both, Kathy

Dear Bob and Mary Clare,
So glad that Mary Clare found us at Duke last week. It was really thoughtful of you to care enough to get back in touch with us to see how things were going. Just to update, the transplant has not taken effect yet. Jon is still fighting an infection that is probably hindering the news cells from coming in. They harvested his dad's white blood cells and transused Jon with those in order to find the infection and kill it. Let's hope this work so we can see those stem cells start to grow. We are so ready to get out of here. Been here since January 4th and that's too long.
Glad to hear that things seem to be stable. Keep up the hard work, both of you. I know how hard it is, Mary Clare, to be a caregiver in this situation, so you deserve some prayers for you. I have thought about you both often and you both will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. Good luck and stay strong.
Love,
Kristen

I need to say a huge "THANKS" to the Hurt family, because I can't reach out and hug each of you for the support and love you're sending my brother's way. Bob, he laughed out loud when he read about leaving you a crib sheet for your upcoming psych test. He really enjoys you. I walked by your room a couple of times last December at Duke after Dave told me he'd met you, but I didn't interupt you and your family. I wish I had. You would have welcomed me, and I'd have had a face-to-face opportunity.

When this GBM stuff began, I made contact with anyone I could who'd been dealing with it to gather as much info as possible, and I could not believe how open and wonderful all families were. I thought they might think I was intruding or envasive when I asked personal questions about the care their loved ones were receiving. Instead they opened their hearts and minds and shared all they could with me... a virtual stranger.

So here we are, rooting each other on, encouraging each other's families, and sharing our friends. It's still difficult to believe that anything good can come from anything this bad, but the Hurt family stands out like stars in a dark night, sending love and support to my brother. God bless every one of you, and know that for every prayer I pray for my brother, there's an additional one sent your way. Thanks!

Hi Bob,

Brian passed along the web site address. What a great idea!

I must say, anyone who can get one of these things up and running is sure no "technological dolt" in my book. It was kind of fun paging through the guest comments and seeing you referred to as "Bobby." That is still my name around the family and, in fact, my AOL address at home is "oldbobby2." (Just plain "oldbobby" was aleready taken and the adjective sure applies to me.)

Take care and rest assured you are in our thoughts and prayers. Hope to see you soon.

Okay Kerns, in the immortal words of some long-forgotten Civil War high muckety-muck:"SUH,THIS IS WAH"!! Where do you get off goin'on about no new UPDATE? What do you call the one I labored feverishly for 3 hours on Wed morn 2/6? ...are you simply suffering from diminishing computer skills? eh, Bucko? C'mon Kernsy. Get it together now or pretty soon we'll all be wondering who's the one who had the three craniotomies. Hasta Linguine, moi droog. Bob

Robert. You're slacking again. Update your journal, man. We,the people, are thirsty for NEWS! Any news. I don't know about all the others, but Koppel and Brokaw just ain't cutting it for me. Just make something up, most of your audience won't know the difference between fact and fiction. You could start out with something like, "On Saturday, I got so bored I walked five miles to the office..." of course that really wouldn't be fiction, now would it, me bucko?" That's right, for those of you following the play by play, Bob Hurt, he of the recent monoclonal antipasto infestation WALKED FIVE MILES TO THE OFFICE IN SUB BRASS MONKEY WEATHER ON SATUDAY. On the count of three, everyone chant, "SHAME!"

Hi Bob. I'm looking forward to meeting you one of these days, but in advance of that wanted to send you my best regards. Brian Kerns tells me you're doing well, very glad to hear it. Not to talk shop, but I was deposed yesterday on an old case I worked on while at Nationwide. I kept looking over to the attorney who was "supposed" to be defending me, but he seemed quite content to let me sweat, struggle and muttle along. He and I "chatted" about this after the deposition. I'll continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi Bob,
So glad that you guys were able to set this up. We think of you, MC, and the kids constantly and it's nice to be able to check in a little easier. We would've loved to have been at the Big Bash to celebrate your birthday -- heck we would've loved to have had dinner at Laura and Gene's restaurant for any reason. Did you get the wine we sent? Jim called and spoke to the person that answered the phone, but it seemed that they were having a rough time. If you didn't get it someone must've enjoyed a treat on our credit card ! :-) You are in our prayers every day as you continue your journey. Please remember that we love you and are here to help in ANY way needed.

Bob: You ignominious slacker! What the hell is this? For seven years you need a guide dog to find the computer keyboard in the office, and now you create your own website? I've been scammed!

Had a great time at your birthday party, buddy. Do you think Gene and Laura could possibly have one of these on each of our coworkers birthdays?

Hi Bob!
Marcia told me about your web site. This is a great way to
keep updated on how you're doing! I've been reading Dave Tangen's site & it was really helpful in understanding the treatments you received at Duke. I just wanted to say how much we all love you! You are in our daily prayers! I also wanted to wish you a happy birthday tomorrow!! I hope the year ahead is filled with much peace & love as you continue on this challenging journey!! love, Kathy

Hi Bob
I forgot to wish you happy birthday when I saw you at church today - thanks for agreeing to come & meet the folks - it seemed a bit like 'show & tell' but everyone has been hearing about you since June. I think it was good for all of us to see you looking so well & with such good news to reoprt. Anyway, have a very good B-day tomorrow and I will remember that you will never be as old as me (but almost - there isn't that much time between us - in fact I can't remember a time when you weren't here). I love you!
Your barely older sister,
Marcia

Dear Bob and Mary Clare,

I am glad to hear everything went so well at Duke! And Bob, I hope you are feeling a 100% very soon. I can only imagine what a tough time this has been for all of you. But knowing you, I am sure you will come out of it stronger and ready for whatever is next. Hoping for lots of continued good news and better times. You are both in my thoughts and prayers every day and as always I love you and miss you.

Hi Bob- you don't know me but I used to be a co-worker of Dave's back when he lived in Indianapolis and worked for the airline. Anyways, I check his website daily and I've heard so much about you, I feel like I know you as well.
So, any friend of Dave's is a friend of "everybody"!! As you can tell by his website tons of people have responded and I hope your website will do the same. You can never have too many prayers or too much support. I wish you good spirits and the will to fight. I wish you and your family a peace and calmness, enjoy each other...and laugh daily!! Very important information.
I will most likely check on you daily as well. So you and MC take care and keep "everyone" updated. Best wishes!!!

Hi Bob,

Welcome home! Marcia alerted me to your new webpage---nice idea---I look forward to use it to keep up with you guys. By the way, I hear the pants once referred to by MC as "fatboy pants" (my pants!!!) are getting a little loose on you---great!

Hi Daddy! I just wanted to let you know how very much I love you and admire you for your strength and courage at this time. We will get through this. You have so much support from family and friends. You are so special to me and I could not ask for a better dad. (You are special too, Mom, but this is Dad's guestbook!) All my life I have looked up to you and admired you for how hard you work to provide for your family. I remember even doing a speech in high school on you as the subject for "The Person in Your Life That You Admire." (Or something like that.) Anyway, I love you and even though I am married now and have "kids" I will always be your little girl! By the way, Chuck also thinks the most of you and shares in all my thoughts and words.

Now that you have a webpage, someone needs to start filling it with information - after looking at Dave Tangen's site, that could easily be a fulltime job. I am glad you're feeling better, that you are home & that you are my brother. I will keep watching the site for up to the minute info and will leave messages too. Right now I have to quit procrastinating and get to work. Chow!

Just want you to know how very much I love you and admire your courage in facing this new crisis. You are and always will be my HERO. Never forget...you and me, together forever, Tish
