Requiem in Pacem, Steve

My blogger holiday is over, and so is my two week vacation to Alaska. Before I went on vacation, I wrote about a man named Steve who was fighting a very tough fight with leukemia. During one of my rare e-mail checks from Alaska, I learned with sadness that Steve passed away about a week ago.

Every ten minutes on average, someone in the United States dies from a blood cancer. Last week, Steve became one of this terrible set of diseases latest victims.

I never met Steve, but he sounds like he was a great guy and devoted to his family. My heart goes out to them. Rest in peace, Steve. Your difficult and valiant fight is over, but you will not be forgotten.
