Yesterday, Patrick Swayze passed away at the age of 57 after a long battle with Stage IV pancreatic cancer. From the Outsiders to Youngblood… Dirty Dancing and Ghost and who can forget Point Break… Patrick & his films will always occupy a special place in all of our hearts. Our prayers go out to his family and friends during this tragic time! Thanks Patrick… We had… The time of our lives!
R.I.P Patrick Swayze…uber depressing :[

comment by Tommy — September 15, 2009I can’t help but think of the cancer that took his life. I just lost my great aunt to the same disease only days ago. It saddens me that it is diagnosed at such a late stage. But the fact that Swayze and people like my aunt who are able to outlive their prognosis is somewhat uplifting. When they died, it was more of an acceptance of the disease. But for those loved ones around having to watch, it has to be one of the hardest things to witness. Knowing that they are suffering and even with the care of a nurse, it is just fearing that their days are coming to an end that makes it so hard. Prayers go out to his family.
