Hi Steve, is there a chance you could publish this ASAP?
It would mean a lot to Nancy if there were a lot of pain patients watching. Thanks, V.
Hello, I'm not sure how many of you knew Al Knowles, he recently passed away and
his fiance is streaming his service today. Al had traveled to one of the FDA meetings
and Nancy said he'd met some of you who had been there.
It'll mean a lot to Nancy if people are watching. Al's death is another side to
this war - pain patients postponing important tests, surgeries, etc.
Knowing your pain won't be controlled or you'll face discrimination
when they find out you are a pain patient, is a big deterrent.
If Al had done a colonoscopy, it's very likely the cancer
would have been detected much earlier and he might
have had time to fight it. V.

From Nancy Hodgeson:
Live Streamed Memorial services will occur at 6 pm Sunday Central Time, July 19th
and will public on Al Knowles FB page.. Because of Covid there will not
be a regular service. Thank you everyone for understanding.
There will be an ash releasing ceremony later from Costa Rica
after it is extremely safe to travel again. Please stay safe everyone.

Thank you Steve, I really appreciate it and Nancy does, as well. Al’s death is not only a great loss in the pain community, but especially for his fiance Nancy Hodgeson. They tried to get married, but Al ran out of time. All of us at the C50, our hearts go out to you Nancy, and Al will not be forgotten.
