I came across this only today as I have been battling my own demons, cancer for a very long time. At least for now, I have prevailed.

I did have the opportunity to meet A.C. While a volunteer/rescue pilot during Katrina. I resent the remark left by Nigel and You cause my heart to ache to know that someone in all their grief has to put up with this bullshit.

Lisa, I am sorry, truly sorry for your loss. with my whole heart, mind and soul.

Pax Vobiscum, Dominus Vobiscum

Your friend

Mark

My comments come some time after A.C.’s passing. As I mentioned to Lisa in a separate email, I happened across the sad news while looking for something else on the internet. I had the honor and privilege of working for several years with A.C. at Cleveland Regional Medical Center in Texas in the mid 1990′s. A.C. was a kind, generous man from whom I learned much and whose friendship I valued. My condolences and best wishes to his friends and family.

Lisa,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I want to echo Karen From’s comments about your beloved husband, A.C. Buchanan. He was a great leader and a great person. There are many people who assume leadership roles, but very few who are true leaders. A.C. was one of them. Recently, I read an article in Time magazine titled, “What Makes a Great Leader” by Nelson Mandela. I could not help but to think of A.C. as I read Mandela’s words. A.C. led by example, and therefore, those around him were motivated to do their very best. I couldn’t agree more with Karen’s comment that A.C. was “the very best advertisement for Christianity.” He treated everyone with respect, no matter their station in life. It was an honor to work with him.
I cannot imagine anyone making comments about the choice of a medical facility. The job of a loved one is to seek the most appropriate treatment possible. Sometimes the best option is in one’s hometown and sometimes it is not. The physicians I know would say the same thing to their patients without regard for what they do for a living. Certain facilities have experimental treatments and other protocols that are unavailable at home. You did exactly what any loving wife would do.
Lisa, it was very apparent that A.C. felt so blessed to have you and the family you both shared. I will continue to pray for you as you struggle to cope with your unimagineable loss.
