Robbie Greenberger

[lagilman]

I see on the f-list that Robbie has left us. Damn. Just....damn. He fought the damn good fight against leukemia, but sometimes the good fight isn't the winning one. His dad's a friend, and I'd been hoping that my bone marrow profile would be a match.

Twenty years is not enough time on this earth.

Light a candle and raise a glass, and say a prayer for the easing of the way for those left behind.



And if you can, take a moment in his memory to register as a bone marrow donor. It takes a little cash and a few minutes to swab for DNA, and you just might be able to save a life....

No, it's not.
Please pass my condolences on.

I'm sorry for the loss of your friend.

But....what if....he lost the fight but actually won the war and is right where he's supposed to be...with God.

I'm sure he's smiling down on you now.

...ironically, I mailed my swabs just this morning.

My condolences, to you and to his family.

I'm scheduled to register as a bone marrow doner in three months. :B

I can't imagine what the Greenbergers are going through right now. Robbie was a hell of a guy.

I'm sure you mean well, but I have to respectfully disagree. The only place a twenty-year-old is supposed to be isliving, with enthusiasm and energy and optimism -- and decades ahead of him before he has to even think about death.

I cannot in any way shape or form think that his death is a Good Thing.

I only met Robbie a few times before he fell ill, but yeah, he seemed to have the Greenberger charisma in spades...

I registered at Shore Leave because of Robbie.

I've been on a road roughly the same as the one Kate, Bob and Deb are on right now. It's going to be hell for them, and it's going to take a long time to get through. There is nothing that will fill the void, you just somehow learn to live with it and move on.
