No question where he is going. My prayers are with him and his family.

No question where he is going. My prayers are with him and his family. The article gives no indication of his eternal destination, or his relationship with the Eternal One.
The secular religion believes, I've observed, in one of two possibilities: (1) there is nothing after this existence and consequently one is going nowhere, or (2) one earns/merits "heaven" through his or her good works.

A couple of years ago they found a growth on my spleen and they suspected pancreatic cancer, I looked up the odds, long money on croaking within two years.
False alarm and my children are well taken care of, but the Grand Kids need the corrupting influence of me.

Oh he!!...I disagree with him. It is unfair as people like Bin Ladin still be sucking air after this good man is gone.

God Bless him. I’m sure our #2 son must know him personally, or at least know of him, because he is a 2004 Comp. Sci. graduate of CMU. I’ll have to ask him about this. In fact, I’ll send him the link to this thread.

Nasty disease. My father-in-law passed due to it.

What’s to cry about?
I see a man who made a decision to work within the bounds of truth, to face his fate as it can be known and to say all the things, that coming from another’s mouth would come off maudlin or plain sappy.

Although I haven't met him, Randy's a friend of a friend. I've been following his case since my younger brother was diagnosed with cancer almost a year ago. They were both treated at MD Anderson last winter. You can see the full chronology of Randy Pausch's cancer
here.
(My brother is having much better luck, with no detectable cancer.)

I hope so, my son is with us but my daughter is a libertarian, how that happened I haven't a clue.
My second Grand Daughter is going to be a heart breaker, her Alabama Ridge Runner blood and my genetics, hopefully my politics, I hope she doesn't go prevert on me like her cousin Max Sandlin.

My mother was diagnosed a year ago this month with pancreatic cancer and died last December. What a nasty cancer this is as there is no cure. I don’t know the money facts, but I sure wish as much money as is put into AIDS research and treatment, would go into pancreatic cancer research. This is an equal opportunity cancer.
