For those that do not remember me I am TroysBadDawg that was found wondering around Steelers Fever making joke and talking some football but not smack. Then A gracious lady invited me over here. Although I have been away for some time now I have fond memories of most on Steelers Fever and here. Cant say how often I will be back, having major health problems. But the best of luck to your team and I wish mine could find it's head.

I remember you well, TBD, and believe me, you've been missed. I'm very sorry to hear about your health problems, but I hope you are able to post more often going forward.

I don't know if you are aware of this and if you are not, I sincerely and sadly regret to inform you that the gracious lady you are referring to (HometownGal, real name Marianne) passed away back on April 21, 2012. She contracted cancer once again (after beating it twice during the previous ten years) and was diagnosed back in August of 2011 for the final time.

As you can probably imagine, she is very sorely missed here. She did go out fighting, but in the end, the cyberknife and chemotherapy treatments were not effective in treating the tumor. And due to the fact that the tumor was located at the base of her skull and essentially had wrapped itself around her carotid artery, conventional surgery to remove it would have been too dangerous to risk.

If you'd like, you can read the threads pertaining to her fight here (http://www.steelersuniverse.com/forums/showthread.php/12093-One-Final-Prayer-Please) and here (http://www.steelersuniverse.com/forums/showthread.php/12766-In-loving-memory-of-HTG). Also, if you had been keeping in touch with her by Email off the board (as many others did) and have been wondering why the Emails suddenly stopped, that is why.

Again, I hope you can post here more often. You've definitely been missed! :drink:
