A Note from Doug Haberstroh: This will be the last entry. Keri's struggle ceased. Her love, her memory, her being will live on forever in me, our families, and our friends. Her life was too short, and if I could have changed places with her I would have. If meaning I had to do it all over aga...

So sad

I have been following the stories of Kerri and I can't stress enough how much she has touched me. She really struggled and I can totally feel her pain. The sadest thing for me was reading about how excited she was to be getting better and her hair growing back and then her talking about more chemo and hairloss all over again. Its so unbelievable that after all she strugled she didn't make it...it makes me really angry, but now she is painfree and thats so priceless. Im so sorry for everything you and your family have gone through. You are such a loving husband Doug, its so obvious how much you loved and still love Kerri. Oh and that letter from Laura Bush is so awesome im sure it made her day to recieve that. My heart goes out to you Doug and your family.

Love
Natalia

Thank you, Doug

Telling Keri's story must have been painful for you, bringing all the memories back. But I hope it was also a good thing, as you remembered that time and your love for her, and hers for you. Thank you for being willing to put your story and Keri's out there for everyone to share. - PJH

Thank you Doug and Keri. You have taught me everything I need to know: that love survives cancer.
You will always be in our hearts.

My heart goes out to you,Doug,and the lovely and brave Keri.Both of you have inspired me with your admirable courage.During my present ongoing treatment,I've been extremely disturbed by the mastectomy that I had to undergo. Keri's story has made me see things in the right perspective. Thank you,both of you.

Doug, thank you for sharing Keri's story. I came across it on the internet and I'm so sorry for your loss, she was such a fighter and her smile is infectious. What a wonderful husband you have been to her. I myself have been diagnosed, but blessed at Stage 1. Hopefully in the near future, there will a cure for this beast. It now see's no age.

Doug,

You proved to be a wonderful husband to your beloved Keri. I came across Keri's story after being diagnosed with breast cancer this March and wanted to better understand what husbands go through. Like Keri, I am blessed to have a supportive husband during this difficult time. My husband has a very stoic demeaner, but I know beyond that facade he holds as many battle wounds as I do. We fight for our lives and celebrate everyday we have together as a victory. Keri's life may have been short, but you filled it with joy. Thank you for inspiring us.
