| Jeff Dorton Jeff was born with primary lymphedema and after a fall, acquired secondary as well. He was never diagnosed with lymphedema until 1998, by then he was stage 3 and it was nearly impossible to treat. Jeff spent years in hospitals and long-term care facilities until April 30, 2004 when he peacefully died in his sleep. Jeff was a major inspiration to the lymphedema lists and communities. He helped to create ELymphNotes, one of the first online newsletters for Lymphedema. Jeff enjoyed the outdoors before the lymphedema took hold. Much of his time after he was diagnosed was spent researching, creating awareness, and helping others. Jeff kept his humor and a positive attitude despite multiple surgeries and pain. His story published in ElymphNotes was a wake up call to the medical world and an inspiration to all the support groups. Going through what Jeff went through takes alot of courage. Rest in Peace Jeff. Jeff chronicled his own story found at this site http://www.lymphaware.com/detail.asp?ci=18 More of his story complete with graphic pictures of his limbs can be found at http://www.lymphaware. com/detail.asp?ci=49&it=IPI The Dorton Directory was created in his honor, it is full of sites pertaining to lymphedema and ranges from books on Lymphedema to Jewelry for awareness. The directory is located at: http://www.lymphaware.com/directory.asp This was Jeff's personal website/directory. Let's imagine him, free to walk/run now in the beautiful background on his site. http://members.aol.com/T4425/lymphindex.html If anyone would like to make a memorial donation to help the foundation, they can be sent in Jeff's name to: Lymphedema Awareness Foundation 172 Lakeside Circle Sanford, FL 32773 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marcus Pedersen That is what Ronan Keating did in the song “If tomorrow never comes”. I know it is a song which means a lot to you. You have had it with you, and have reminded you every day, that we live of love. The love from God, which we daily embrace and pass on. If tomorrow never comes Sometimes late at night I lie awake and watch him sleeping He’s lost in peaceful dreams So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark And the thought crosses my mind If I never wake up in the morning Would he ever doubt the way I feel About him in my heart If tomorrow never comes Will he know how much I loved him Did I try in every way to show him every day That he’s my only one And if my time on earth were through And he must face the world without me Is the love I gave him in the past Gonna be enough to last If tomorrow never comes cause I’ve lost loved ones in my life Who never knew how much I loved them Now I live with the regret That my true feelings for them never were revealed So I made a promise to myself To say each day how much he means to me And avoid that circumstance Where there’s no second chance to tell him how I feel So tell that someone that you love Just what you’re thinking of If tomorrow never comesWritten for Marcus, By Tina Remember me as I used to be All the special memories All my smiles and laughs throughout the years Please don't shed any more tears I know you can't see But I'm happy now and painfree So smile fondly when you think of me Things are just exactly as the Lord meant them to be. Marcus Petersen Marcus was born on September 10, 1996. He had a perfect Apgar Score, which is the rating of color, pulse, respiration, muscle and reflex activity. At the time of birth his parents notice the difference in the size of his hands. At first he was diagnosed with Kippel-Trenaunay syndrome. Kippel-Trenaunay Syndrome, KT, is a rare congenital malformation that involves "birthmarks" or port-wine stains, soft tissue and excessive growth of soft tissue/bones, and venous/lymphatic abnormalities. They changed the diagnosis to Mafucci Syndrome, which involves benign tumors of cartilage. After many tests and scans, they once again changed the diagnosis to Gorham's Vanishing Bone Disease or another name for this Lymphangiomatosis. Basically, lymphangiomas are rare benign neoplasm's (growths) due to the result of malformed lymph system. Gorham's disease is the change in bones that makes them weak and prone to fractures due to massive bone loss. Marcus endured operations, drains, fractures, tests, injections, xrays, drugs, and transfusions in his short life. He passed away on September 7, 2004 just days short of 8th birthday. His family was with him and he was kept free of pain. He is survived by his parents, Robert and Annette and his sister Helena. Their website is located at: http://www.gorhams.dk/index.html They have links to the side with more information regarding Gorham's Disease and Lymphangiomatosis, Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome, and Mafucci's Disease. At Marcus Veng Petersen’s funeral September 10th 2004, by the priest Otto Lundgaard: Today we are gathered in Stroeby church to say a last goodbye to Marcus. Marcus died peacefully at the hospital on Tuesday. He laid in his mothers arms and held his fathers and sisters hands in his hands, when he died. In your presence he lived his entire live. And in your presence he was free. Free from the pain and free from the anxiety he had had during his serious illness. Marcus was only seven years old. Only seven, that is how we think and that is how we feel. It is as though we can understand and it is easier to live with the fact that adults die, when they have lived their lives. But that at living and happy boy like Marcus is no longer among us – that is not acceptable. And yet we have to live with this. That is the facts we have faced since Tuesday. Marcus knew how ill he was. He knew at the end that he was dying. And he knew he was going to Heaven. But he was HERE to the end, because Marcus WANTED life. Life was there, where you were together and shared life. As late as Saturday before his dead he went to circus. Marcus was a boy with many talents. And he knew how to use them. He demanded challenges – and he embraced them all, whether it was difficult arithmetical problems, puzzles and Nintendo games. Marcus wanted to be a professor. And he wanted to be a writer and an artist. And I think he had the talent for it all. Marcus had many interests, constantly acquired new knowledge. As one of his friends told me: “Marcus knew it all. We could always go to him, if there was anything we wanted to know”. Marcus loved to watch the colours in the sky at sunset. He loved to watch cartoons on Cartoon Network. He asked serious questions to all he saw and heard. He argued well for his points of view and was not the slightest orthodox when he challenged an adult family member in a discussion. Today, September 10th, Marcus would have turned eight years old. And yet he will have his party, as you mentioned during our conversation two days ago. For today we are gathered around Marcus. And we are here to tell you, Robert, Annette and Helena, that we also grieve for your son and brother. Your grief is also our grief. And the grief is the love that we no longer feel we can give to Marcus. Marcus, you will never be forgotten. Those words are written on the ribbon on the wreath from Marcus NEW FRIENDS as he called his class mates from the school. Our children remember and will always remember Marcus as a good friend. Hi light will shine for them. And we parents will remember him as a boy with a vigilant look in his beautiful eyes with the indeterminable colour. We always noticed him when we came into the class room. Though he was a quiet boy, we felt his presence. You told me, that when Marcus was dead and lay in the hospital bed, there was still life in his eyes. May that be a good and living memory of your son. Life is stronger than dead. We can trust that Marcus is now with God in Gods living hands, where death, pain, anxiety and grief will never have the last words. We have Gods words for, that that will never be the last. For where God is there is love. The love that receives our dead and keep them there. And the love that will be here with us who have to live with the grief of loosing Marcus. Dear Robert and Annette. And dear Helena. All that you have given Marcus all that Marcus has given you and all that you love him for no one in the world can take that away from you and will never be buried with him. Marcus will always be your son and your brother. Your thoughts and memories of him, which can only hurt today, will help you to get on in life as Marcus will always be a part of. And we hope, a living part that will also give you hope. On your family web site you have told about Marcus and his illness. You told me that you have shared you experiences with other families’ trough out the world with children suffering from the same disease. You have hereby helped and supported other families and you have given other children hope and courage. You have saved lives. You now have to live as the family you are. It takes time. And we all have to help you with that, because you are not alone. Today your family and friends are here to support you. And to all of you in church I want to say that it is good you came and it is good that you want to share Robert, Annette and Helena’s grief, like you have also shared their joys. You have to continue to do so. Also in a week, in a month, in a year. When we feel that our words are not enough when we cannot express our feelings, when life falls apart for us then it is redeeming when others can step up and help us get the words out. The song tells us a lot about why we are here. And what life is. We have all received the gift of life from God. Life is a treasured gift, which we owe to God and each other to take seriously. For life shall not be hidden and kept for ourselves. Life is gift, and it is our obligation to share it. And that we do by showing and telling each other that we love each other, so that we will never doubt it. We must therefore tell our loved ones every day that they are loved. For life is too short not to do so. If we always think that that can be said or done tomorrow or another day we will take life itself out of life. In other words, we underestimate life. We shall never hide it in our minds or only contemplate on what we wanted to have said, done or given each other we have to do it! And rather today than tomorrow. I know that you told and showed Marcus that. He knew he was loved for who he is loved by his family, loved by his friends. Gods love for us is the same. God knows us and is always near. That is what we need to know today. There is no pain, no anxiety and no sorrow that God will not share with us. And there are no thoughts and feelings inside us that God does not know and will not understand. Whether we live or die, we belong to God and are at home with him in his divine love. That shall give us hope a living hope which extends beyond life and death and towards the day where we shall meet again in Heaven. And it is with that hope that we say goodbye to Marcus today and pray that God will keep Marcus with him. Now and for eternity. -------------------------------------------------------------- Rachel Troxell Founder of Lymphediva's loses battle with breast cancer.... Rachel Levin Troxell, 37, a graphic designer who cofounded a company that makes fashionable compression sleeves prescribed to women undergoing treatment for breast cancer, died of the disease Tuesday at home in Center City. Mrs. Troxell was diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2005. At the time, the California native was a video producer and a triathlete who competed in several charity events. After her initial treatment she developed lymphedema, a complication from chemotherapy and radiation that results in swelling of the lymph nodes. She was required to wear a thick, hot, compression sleeve that resembled an elastic bandage over one of her arms. Her mother, Judy Levin, said she resolved to use her artistic talent to create a sleeve that was so fashionable and comfortable that women would feel good about wearing them. In 2006, she teamed up with another woman who had battled breast cancer, Robin Miller, and fashion designer Kristin Dudley to establish a company, Lymphedivas, dedicated to her vision. The firm's Lycra arm sleeves and gauntlets are produced in a variety of colors and described on its Web site, Lymphedivas, as "comfortable, breathable, and oh-so-divalicious." Mrs. Troxell's cancer returned in April, but she continued to operate her firm, going to appointments as recently as last month and making business calls. "She lived every day as if it was a gift - with energy and determination," said her father, Howard A. Levin. A native of San Jose, Calif., Mrs. Troxell earned a bachelor's degree from the University of California at Berkeley in 1992 and earned a master's degree in education from Northwestern University in 1994. She taught school in Chicago for two years before moving to Philadelphia, where her parents had relocated. She taught language arts at William Penn Charter School for two years before leaving to study graphic design for a year at the University of the Arts and then worked at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. She started a video-production company, StoryDisc, in 2000. She produced documentaries for families, museums, and organizations including the Trenton Fire Department, the Philadelphia Jewish Archives Center, and Alan Domb Real Estate. She met Jason Troxell at the Bishop's Collar, a Fairmount pub, in January 2005. "She wasn't a bar person, but a friend forced her to go out that night," her mother said. The couple married in October. In addition to her parents and husband, she is survived by a brother, Joshua.

Wolfe, 39, of Hutson St., Wilkes-Barre, formerly of Franklinville, NJ and Orlando, FL, died Tuesday, October 13, 2008, at Geisinger South Wilkes-Barre, PA. He was born in Camden, NJ on May 20, 1969. He was the son of Frances Carver Wolfe & the late Charles E. Wolfe. He operated Wolfe & Sons Construction & Demolition. He was an avid woodworker, he enjoyed playing poker & was an avid Pittsburgh Steelers fan. He was preceded in death by a sister, Charlotte Wolfe, a brother, Christopher Wolfe. Surviving is his wife of 6 years, the former Susan Mundling, mother, Frances Wolfe, step-children, Robert, Christopher, Jason & Pattiann Whittington, daughter-in-law, Viola Kinsey, 9 step- grandchildren, sisters, Mia Coppola, Brandy Bradel, brothers, Craig Wolfe, Joseph Wrotnewski & John Matlack, numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins. A memorial service will be held at a later date. Arrangements are by the George A. Strish Inc. Funeral Home, 105 N. Main St., Ashley, PA Chuckie loved wood working and sports, all sports. He collected skulls and skull items. He was always making everyone laugh with his sense of humor. Helping people was in his nature, he would do what he could to help them even if it was just a smile. Chuckie owned his own construction and demolition company in New Jersey before becoming disabled. He was an old soul and believed not only in helping people but that women and children were to be cherished and kept near and dear to the heart. He was a big advocate of POW/MIA rights. He taught his family not only to be independent, but to fight for what they believed in, and they knew they were truly loved. Rest in peace Chuckie. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Printed with permission From: Rhoda Brophy Department of Public Affairs Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Cent Monographs: Petrek JA.
