Thank you, Laura.

There is no known pharmaceutical or surgical cure for Crohn's disease. Treatment options are restricted to controlling symptoms, maintaining remission, and preventing relapse.

 

I know little about this malady that took his life at such an early age...if treated, I did not think it was fatal. Such a great loss to our community.

I know nothing whatever about this person or circumstances. But for ANY life to be shortened to 21 years is heartbreaking beyond belief. It serves to remind the rest of us to make the most of our own time, and to strive to leave the world a better place than when we were brought into it.

 

My sincerest condolences to the family.

Same here, although I know quite a few people suffering from this disease.

Sincere condolences to his family.
