Just wanted to share the sad news of the loss of two very dear RSD friends. Both of these came as a complete surprise.
Marilee (aka, Dove) Poletsky of Canton Ohio passed away early this morning.Marilee was just 50 years old and had battled with RSD for 10 years. Many in the RSD community will probably best remember her for the prayers that she used to write on a daily basis and share with us. Marilee had been sick and bedridden for the last 3 weeks but her daughter said that yesterday she was playing with the grandkids and had eaten some, so it was not expected.
Andy Rutter of Fort Littleton, PA passed away yesterday. Andy has also suffered from RSD for many many years and just recently underwent surgery and had developed an infection but we thought he was doing much better. He is best known as RSDPAPA or popsnodgrass and was a co-owner of the RSDVictims support group. He leaves behind a 14 year old son named Kenny.
Please keep their families and friends in your prayers and if anyone would like further information, feel free to contact me.
RSD friends
