God bless you Randy and your family. You are an angel in heaven. My father is battling pancreatic cancer and he fights everyday. I pray there is more research and a cure in the future. Its a terrible agressive disease.

I highly appreciate your words, love, patient, simplicity and your gentle behaviour.
I wish we had many of Randy in our world, because we need to be educated and encouraged properly. Randy, I swear on god that I miss you too much and whenever I watch your videos my heart goes out for you but I can not prevent myself from watching your interviews and lectures. I sincerely and humbly have special regards to his brave wife and lovely children. May god bless you Randy and your soul rest in peace.

My father died of pancreatic cancer 4 months after his diagnosis. I am thankful for Dr. Pausch and the efforts he made to increase awareness of this disease. Research for this disease is significantly underfunded.

This isn't a place for hate, some of you people need to grow up.
