Wall of Remembrance

As a journeyman steamfitter, I've worked around and with asbestos. As a result, I have a condition called pleural plaque. As I understand it, my lungs are encapsulated in a nonelastic membrane. On top of that, I've smoked since I was a kid. When I participated in Elmer's lung capacity measurement survey at SPAH, I pegged the meter. I know that my harmonica is the reason I'm not walking around pushing

I lost my mom Brenda Yateman on March 9, 2007...I wrote on this same wall a week later and today I find myself re-reading what I wrote and what others have written about their loved ones. Today I am sad. Sad because a few weeks after I lost you mom, Jacob was born. It was such a difficult time. It was a time that I was suppose to be happy because I was welcoming one more child into this world, one mor

My grandma, i can't believe you are gone..its hard to believe it doesn't even seem like your gone cause i don't think it has kicked in yet, even though it has been seven months. It was hard watching her in the hospital, if she was here today she probably wouldn't have even known what happened in those two weeks she were there. The first night she was there i was there the whole time, it was so hard. The d

A friend passed away yesterday - April 8th 2008. She just turned 57. She has been fighting this disease (not smoking related!)for 2 yrs (diagnosed on Feb 14, 2006). And although she lost the battle - she never lost her fight. She was a role model for positive living in an uncertain environment. We will miss you Janina.

My Mom It has been 8 years since you were taken from us. It seems so long ago. So, many things have changed since your passing from lung Cancer at the age of 53. I just turned 40 last week. I now have 3 wonderful children. I try to keep your memory alive with them. I am still trying to quit smoking. I have quit 3 times and started up again. I am determined to quit this time. I wish I would have never sta

In Loving Memory of Daniel J Zahn(age 42) who passed away On February 21 from a long courageous fight with Lung Cancer.He was a Loving father who always put his children and family first,and was one of the most devoted Best Friends I could ever ask for....May you be at Peace now My Friend, I will always Love You!

I miss you so much. I was young when you died, but I still think about you often. I remember going to Florida with you, and I remember you winning me prizes in claw machines. I like those memories, because they were of happier times before I lost you. I hope that wherever you are right now, you're happy and free to dance again. I love you.

In December 2007, the respiratory health community in Canada lost one of its long time influential leaders. Starting in 1945, A. Les McDonald served with The Lung Association as a volunteer in Sudbury, Ontario, Chairman of the provincial Board of Directors, and subsequently as a member of staff in the capacity of health education manager. In his retirement, Les assumed the responsibility to lead the Int

In memory of young Uncle Jack Haggart who passed away many years ago. Thanks for everything.....Wayne

It's with great sadness that we write our tribute on this Wall of Remembrance to our Mother, Alice Magnusson in her 72nd year who passed away Tuesday, 20 November 2007 of complications from pneumonia and COPD. Mom loved life and all it had to offer. Her nurturing way was clearly seen in her beautiful flower beds and outstanding gardens - admired by all. She loved to share her little paradise with all

My father died 1 year ago today, he had struggled with COPD and When I remember the day my father died the heartache is still so strong. I have thought about him every day for the past year and I wish I could see him one last time. He was not a perfect man, but he was my hero - With all his personal demons he was the one person I could count on in this world. His quality of life had diminished over the

It is coming up to two years that you died this January and its somehow like yesterday because my life will never be the same nor does the pain die , changes somewhat, becomes somewhat more manageable but leaves me with so many questions ? Lung Cancer took my mom and I pray to god it wont take me... if this is what we need to learn from ?- My mom the most beautifull woman in the world to me told me " It W

Hey Dad. I just wanted you to know how much we miss you every day. Although we were young when you passed away, we will never stop missing you. Little things always come up that remind me of you - like when I look at the Tim McGraw CD you bought me, or hear a certain song or smell a certain smell. We know you are in a better place now - a place where you can breathe easily, a place where you can go ou
