It was so good to see you at the KPG meet up Jan 2007. So sorry to hear this news which is very difficult for you to bear.

I hope you gain some comfort from all your friends on the KPG network. What else can I say? I am thinking of you both.

I just found out and I'm shocked!!!! My thoughts are with you both Stevie & Res during this difficult time. I wish you both the strength to get through this, and that it should be as smooth as possible. I'm soooo sorry, purple hugs from america, and I'm hear if you guys ever need to talk.

Steve and Rachel
There aren't any words for this are there? There's nothing I can say that can do justice to my sorrow and anger for you both. Rik wrote the most coherently. I send you all my love and blessings. You have both been the strongest, most wonderful supports to me and made me feel that if you two could do it, so could I. I can never repay that or fully express the gratitude I felt or what it meant to me.
I love you both

I dont know you as I havent long joined this group but I am so sorry.

This may not help but my sister is a reki master (if you have heard of reki) so I will ask her to send both of you some healing everytime she is sending out her reki which is most days and anything that may help is worth a try

Good luck to every one xx

just wanted to update you all on how things are going...

over the weekend Steve arranged for a special licence ...
so Steve and Rachel were married this afternoon in a special ceremony at the hospital ...
may I be one of the first to offer many congratulations to the new Mr & Mrs Sedge ...

on a sadder note ... Rachels Drs feel that she is not well enough to be able to cope with the drug regime that would allow the couple a bit longer time together ...
Steve says that their time together is worth more than anything in the world no matter how short that time is ...

much love to both of them XXX

Firstly I want to say congratulations on your marriage....
somehow it feels wrong to feel elation at the moment ... but I am so happy for you!!!
that you are Mr and Mrs Sedge.. nothing can take that away from you...

My heart aches with the sadness I feel and I cannot start to comprehend the emotions you must be experiencing...

As I mother I feel for your families and as someone who loves someone special I can start to understand how you must be feeling Stevie and Rachel. Treasure EVERY moment you have together and remember the happy times... Try not to linger on what could have been or may have been, just focus what you have and the love for each other you share....

I am sitting in my office at work with tears burning my eyes trying to tell you how much I wish I could make everything better and feeling desperate because I can't........ sorry...

I send you all the love I have in the hope that it may help in some way I so wish that we were both well at the moment and could come and see you, but the last thing you need is our germs, so we must stay away.

(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X) these are hugs and kisses we would love to give you in person, but virtual will have to do for now.

I was distressed last week Steve when you told me what was going on, and was really sad to hear the latest updates. I wish you both all the strength in the world, send you my love, and you guys are definately in my prayers.

Congratulations on the marriage... and hope you still have time to make some more good memories together...

My heart aches.. and I can't express myself well, but my thoughts and prayers are with you both.
