They are gross, and I thought about not posting them but he wanted them seen. Please read Richs plea and DFS. It could happen to you or someone you love! http://richsplea.synthasite.com/ http://richsplea.synthasite.com/

You've stayed so strong and carried on his important message. I know it must be painful to relive so much of this, but I truly think what you're doing with the website will inspire others to never smoke or to find a way to quit. Thank you for that! ~ Cathy ~

  Re: Pictures added to Richs web site Reply Contact   I know this sounds a bit nuts but I think I'm entitled to be a bit nuts, when I started this site I told myself if I could get 1000 people to read it then I have done my job and I can concentrate on the happy memories, I don't have that far to go Please read it and share it. I wonder if 1000 people read it how many will actually listen? maybe 1/10? that would be 100 people, that would be amazing!  The count is now 981 http://richsplea.synthasite.com/

  Re: Pictures added to Richs web site Reply Contact Although you're totally entitled to be a bit nuts, I don't think you are at all. I'm wondering if there aren't places, such as smoking cessation websites that might be willing to post a link to Rich's story. It would be incredible motivation for people to quit and stay quit. I just know there are places on the web that this could be shared in an even broader way. ~ Cathy ~

  Re: Pictures added to Richs web site Reply Contact Thats where it stated was on quitnet. I have recieved so much support from the members of that site you wouldn't believe.  I'm going to take a break from it for awhile though. Right now it seems like the good memories are getting overshadowed. It means a lot that people are being helped but I gotta think of me too. Please continue to share it with whomever will read it but I promised myself a least a months break once it reached 1000. http://richsplea.synthasite.com/

  Re: Pictures added to Richs web site Reply Contact Juliekay, congrats on reaching your goal.  I'm sharing it with all of the smokers that I know in hopes that it will help them realize that they need to quit.  I admire your strength, & determination to get Rich's story out for everyone to read.

  Re: Pictures added to Richs web site Reply Contact Juliekay, you are one strong lady! Thank you for investing your time and emotional energy to create that website and help others understand the horrors that you and Rich went through because of smoking.  I hope over the last few days you've blown past your 1000 goal.  You MORE than deserve a break!  You deserve a vacation from pain and stress, etc.  All our best wishes for you.  ((HUGS!))
