Dear TuDiabetes Family,
We just received word of the passing of member Sandy Cortez from the Philippines, through his wife. We shared his story in 2009. He dreamed of a kidney transplant and having a baby.

This is the message we received:
"Dear Manny

Hi! This is Sandy's wife Prozel Cortez.. This is to inform you of Sandy's passing last January 24, 2010. It happened during one of his hemodialysis treatment. Please pray for his soul.

You may deactivate his account in tudiabetes as he is now with the Lord. I would like to thank all of you for he was able to share with friends about his illness and in a way he was able to help them cope with diabetes and for him to accept his. Thanks again and God bless you always.

PROZEL CORTEZ"

We will honor his family's wishes Wednesday of next week, to give you time to say goodbye to him on his profile page which will become inactive at that time.


Rest in Peace, Sandy...
