It's been over 2 1/2 years since we've lost Jan, but her memory is still as close as today- for her husband/partner, family & friends, especially for her grandchildren that she loved so dearly. But her spirit also lives on in the continuing charity & support group she set up for caring for her fellow PF patients that still need the understanding, empathy for shared anxieties & challenges, & sometimes a little help with getting the O2 equipment they need for one less stress in their in their lives. She said it so well: We can't add years to their lives, but we hope to add some life to their years. Jan- Your candle did not flicker & go out; It still glows in so many hearts.

You were taken too soon and will be sorely missed.

I have lost an Aunt, an Uncle and a Mother to Pulmonary Fibrosis and one Uncle is currently living with this disease.Life without Air, I never knew laughter could be torture. Yet life with a Smile, makes your Heart miss them more. Life without Air, so many stories left to be shared. A life now gone, with that last breath of Air. - Julie Gomez

In loving memory of my uncle, Eddie Watkins who valiantly fought pulmonary fibrosis for 7 years.
Remembering you always with love,
Lesa

Eddie Ray Watkins went home to be with our Lord on May 20, 2016 after a long battle fought with strength and dignity against complications of Pulmonary Fibrosis. He encouraged others suffering from this disease to be positive providing hope for the future. He was forgiving and he loved with his whole heart and a big smile. He never once gave up.

3 years ago when my mom was diagnosed with this terrible disease, I had never heard of it. Within a year my mom went from an independent woman to not even being able to stand on her own. Taking care of her I saw how quickly and devastating it is. I pray for a cure for everyone living with this.....I miss my mom so much...

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Please accept our donation in the fight to cure pulmonary fibrosis. The Andrew & Zelma Glenn family: Evelyn Wagner, Eldon Glenn, Harold Glenn, Sherman Glenn, and Sharon Glenn; also, Etta Glenn, daughter of Henry & Ruby Glenn.

Eddie will be missed by his family, COHS friends, Marine comrades, and FAA friends & co-workers. Eddie always faced life with his big smile. He had a positive impact on many people. Rest in peace my dear friend. Semper Fi.

I have personally known 45 people who have died from this diagnosis. I know many, many more still fighting the battle and accepting their diagnosis graciously still to this day. Almost all have a great sense of humility, work hard to raise awareness where they are and do all they can to bring a sense of enlightenment and hope for a better tomorrow.
