Dear friends,
It saddens me to have to announce the death of our dearest friend Larry Gibson. Larry was one of my best friends for several years. We first met in klinks chat and he followed me over to Friends with MS and had been a regular in our room every day.
Larry battled MS from his power chair and went for physical therapy as much as possible. Larry celibrated every step he was able to make. He under went 12 treatments of novantrone and although he didnt get much from the treatment the fatigue factor for him was lessend and that was enough to make him happy. He was planning on starting the new MS treatment (antegren) in Feb. and was hoping it would stop his disease. He also was a diabetic and had to constantly check his blood sugar level.
At this moment I do not know the exact cause of death since i was just notified this morning via email from his son Eric. His death came at 5:50 pm on Jan, 23rd. This is a shock to all of us.
His nick name for me was sunshine and I called him stud muffin. HIs reply was always stud no way... muffin yes. lol He was like a father to me and he always said he thought of me as a daughter. We had a lot of laughs together in chat and in atlantic city. Everyone who knew him in chat or met him in atlantic city always had a great time when he was around. He made us all laugh.
As we find out more details to his sudden passing I'll post them here. Please feel free to add your feelings here as well.
Thank you,
Veronica Davidson
