Message from Cyndie
Today I lost the love of my life ... words cannot express the way I feel ... my heart is shattered into a million pieces. Thank you to all my wonderful friends that have offered love and support in this time of need ... to all who have called and stopped by ... thank you so much. I'm sure Damien is so happy to know that I am surrounded by such wonderful people.

Hi everyone,
I want to thank you all so much for your prayers & good wishes. Unfortunately, Damien passed away this morning ... words cannot even begin to express the loss and sadness I am feeling. This all happened so fast and was so unexpected. I don't know what I will do without him, he was my partner in life. This email is very difficult to write, but I wanted you all to know. The doctors did all they could. I was with him the whole time.
Anyone is welcome to stop by the house today or this week.
There are no more words I can say ...
Love,
Cyndie & Colin

Hi everyone,
As most of you know, Damien has been very sick the past few months, and of late has been battling with lung issues. On Monday, I had to rush him to the ER due to shortness of breath. It was determined that he had pneumonia. He was doing ok, but today he crashed and couldn't breathe. The doctors had to put him on a ventilator and sedate him, and they tell me that his lungs are in very bad shape. He is currently at Hoag Hospital Newport Beach in the ICU.
I am sending out this email to ask you all to pray for him or send positive thoughts his way. He is in very bad condition and can use all the help he can get. He is expected to be on a ventilator for some time ... right now we need to worry about getting the pnuemonia to go away. Please do all that you can.
I will keep you all posted.
Love,
Cyndie and Colin
