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.

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

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.
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.

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.
Memorial donations may be made to Young Survivor's
Coalition, 61 Broadway, New York, N.Y.

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.

Dr. Jeanne A.
Petrek
The leadership and staff of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer
Center mourn the tragic death on April
11, 2005, of Jeanne A.
Petrek, Director of the Surgical Program at the Evelyn H. Lauder Breast
Center. Dr. Petrek first came to MSKCC as a surgical oncology fellow in 1978 and joined the medical
staff in 1984, after a brief time at
Emory University School of Medicine. She was an expert in treating
breast cancer, and had a particular focus on young women with the
disease. She was a superb surgeon
who helped to refine the current
management of breast disease, as well as a tireless advocate for the
quality
of life of breast cancer patients. Dr. Petrek was a leading researcher in
topics such as
lymphedema after breast surgery,
pregnancy-associated breast cancer, and the preservation of a
woman's fertility after treatment for breast cancer. A warm, cheerful,
and encouraging influence in the
lives of her patients and her
colleagues, she will be deeply missed.
Dr. jeanne Petrek was born
January 5, 1948 in Youngstown Ohio. Her office was located in New
York. She was board certified by the American Board of Surgery in 1978

Dr. Jeanne A.
Petrek
The leadership and staff of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer
Center mourn the tragic death on April
11, 2005, of Jeanne A.
Petrek, Director of the Surgical Program at the Evelyn H. Lauder Breast
Center. Dr. Petrek first came to MSKCC as a surgical oncology fellow in 1978 and joined the medical
staff in 1984, after a brief time at
Emory University School of Medicine. She was an expert in treating
breast cancer, and had a particular focus on young women with the
disease. She was a superb surgeon
who helped to refine the current
management of breast disease, as well as a tireless advocate for the
quality
of life of breast cancer patients. Dr. Petrek was a leading researcher in
topics such as
lymphedema after breast surgery,
pregnancy-associated breast cancer, and the preservation of a
woman's fertility after treatment for breast cancer. A warm, cheerful,
and encouraging influence in the
lives of her patients and her
colleagues, she will be deeply missed.
Dr. jeanne Petrek was born
January 5, 1948 in Youngstown Ohio. Her office was located in New
York. She was board certified by the American Board of Surgery in 1978
and recertified in 2001. She
was educated at the Case Western
Reserve and later at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital. She was a
member of many Medical Societies including the
following:
