Kaitlin Thatcher, Daughter

By
My Dad is my greatest hero. He has always loved me and my siblings. He always made time for us, and cared about us. One of my greatest memories with my dad is when he took me to Oregon to pick up my first bunny.
In third grade I really struggled with Trichatillamania, a compulsive desire to pull out my eyebrows and eyelashes. My dad sat me down and came up with a plan to overcome my struggle. Then he told me about a beautiful bunny his friend in Oregon had for me. After the compulsion was gone he drove me to Oregon to pick up my rabbit.
This trip is so memerable to me because of all time we spent together. We listened to "The Magicians nephew" and talked about me and my friends. He took me to Mcdonalds every time I started feeling Hungry (probably 50 times total, no joke) And spent a night in a really nice hotel. We met Kathy Telichia and ate at Dennys. And my sweet dad even let me hold my soft bunny in his spotless car.
That is only one of the thousand of nice things my dad has done for me.
I love you so much Dad! Let's beat this cancer:-)

The Battle Begins

By
As Aaron's family, we think he is the greatest and we know there are many others who feel the same way.  He is a friend to all and sees the best in everyone.  Our Big A is truly one of a kind. Aaron has always been a healthy guy and has never smoked a day in his life.  When he became sick in January, we never dreamed it was anything serious.  Multiple doctors told him it was Bronchitis.  By March, he and Sweet Lorraine knew it was something more serious.  X-rays were alarming and the biopsy showed Adinocarcinoma Lung Cancer. He will soon begin treatment.  He and Lorraine, along with Kaitlin, Maddie, David, Brigham, Ella and Lily are asking for your faith and prayers.

Aaron Vere Thatcher

Written by Aaron's Mom and siblings: To all who have loved Aaron throughout his life, we want to let you know that he passed away yesterday, December 18, 2018 in the hospital, surrounded by his family. Sunday night, Aaron took a turn for the worse and was taken to the hospital. We were hopeful that he could regain his strength and come home, but it wasn't to be. Yesterday he interacted lovingly with friends, church leaders, siblings, his Sweet Lorraine, and his children. In true Aaron fashion, and with great effort, he spoke to each person, looking in their eyes, calling them by name or nickname, expressing his love and gratitude in a personal manner to each one.  We wish that all of you who love him could have been there with us yesterday to witness his finest hour. He was the Aaron Thatcher we all love to the last moment, and there was an incredible outpouring from his wonderful soul. Each  felt personally loved and remembered by him. In his suffering, he tutored us ...

MVP (Most Valuable Patient)

We met with the oncologist yesterday and went over Aaron's PET scan. The prognosis came as no surprise to us. Aaron's symptoms have only intensified over the last two weeks and we knew there could be only one reason why; the cancer was spreading. He has stage 4 papilary lung cancer. It has spread to his hips, part of his spine, rib cage, and some small lymph nodes. Each place Aaron pointed to, on his body where he felt pain, the dr. would look at that area on the scan and we would see a green dot indicating cancer. We are waiting for more results to tell us if this cancer has any genetic markers. There is a 10% chance he has one of them and a 3-4% chance he has the other. If he has one of these markers it means the treatment is more successful. In the meantime, we proceed as if Aaron has neither of these markers present and we begin chemotherapy. He starts on Thursday. Once a week every three weeks for I don't know how long. He also has an appointment with a great lun...
