20. My condolences go out to David and his family. I lost my 3 year old granddaughter Amelia Rose Jones to a glioblastoma multiforme grade 4 brain tumor. The most aggressive of any brain tumor. From the day Amelia presented with the symptons, after surgery in another state, not ever getting the chance for chemo or radiation to being sent home on hospice it took 43 days!!!
That was in 2004 and the pain hasn't deminished, in fact it hurts even more today then when she first left us.

23. David,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My beautiful sister, Lisa, died of brain cancer, glioblastoma multiforme, in September of 2008. She was only 44 years old and only found out about the cancer one year earlier. It so so devastating and hard to deal with every day but hopefully in time it will get easier. Please know that others understand your pain and are praying that you have peace in your heart.

Love...Diana...a fan

30. David should set up a foundation in the name of his brother. This will help David work out his pain.

His music will also him through the rough times. It is so difficult to lose a sibling, especially when you are so close.

David's pain will ease up once he marries and has children of his own. He will be able reshift his thinking. For now, he will have to rely on fans, friends, and family to carry him through the pain.
