"CJ & CarolI met CJ & Carol in Nashville TN for lunch one day before we each had our visits scheduled with Dr. Eric Liu at the Vanderbilt University. M mother was traveling with me and we had dinner at a nice little cafAC. and laughed and shared our stories of the Cancer that would later claim his life. CJ and Carol's love was strong and very evident and their shining spirit calmed me nerves. We meet a few more times at our support group meetings and he was alwsys smiling. I could tell he was a good soul and very much loved. He has made such a positive impression on me that I will never forget him nor Carol. I wish him Godspeed on his journey to being another Angel to watch over us all. To his family, bless you and know that I am here to help or just lend an ear. With all my love and peace, Cyndi Smith"
