Some people are given to the world by God to spread hope, love and understanding to those who will listen. I listened to Terry and found great comfort in his explanations,so free of jargon, which helped me to better understand my illness. Now with his passing I fear that the silence will be deafening.<br />RIP Terry.Andy Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738940155975690548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19490962.post-83395506823283967512012-01-11T21:29:05.113+00:002012-01-11T21:29:05.113+00:00Thank you Terry for every blessing and all the hel...Thank you Terry for every blessing and all the help and encouragement you have given to us all.<br /><br />You're now with The Lord, praise God.<br /><br />May God looked after and always care for all the loved ones you have left behind, and may God unite you all in His due time.Mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19490962.post-46035271861423059062012-01-11T20:50:52.295+00:002012-01-11T20:50:52.295+00:00Terry Hamblin will be missed by so many of us in t...Terry Hamblin will be missed by so many of us in the CLL community.

However I have corresponded with him on a number of occasions about CLL. <br /><br />I was always surprised that if I had a personal CLL worry I would usually get a response within a few hours and I live at the other side of the world! <br /><br />When I look at the list above of just a fraction of the many people he has helped one wonders how it was humanly possible. <br /><br />The only certainty of life is death but what we do with that life is what counts. Prof. Hamblin spent a large fraction of his life helping others, especially in the CLL community. We are all extremely grateful. His departure is a terrible loss. <br /><br />I would like to express my deepest sympathies to his family.Richardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19490962.post-40115024880836963162012-01-11T20:46:33.521+00:002012-01-11T20:46:33.521+00:00Earth's loss is Heaven's gain .....R.I.P. ...Earth's loss is Heaven's gain .....R.I.P. prof., it was a pleasure to work for, and with you, and only you know the indebtedness I owe to you and David for those extra three years with Michael.<br />xxHelenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19490962.post-57416488657151969752012-01-11T16:05:04.897+00:002012-01-11T16:05:04.897+00:00Meeting Terry for the first and only time in perso...Meeting Terry for the first and only time in person was in the Spring of 2007 at the Canadian CLL Conference where he immediately impressed me with his humanity and knowledge. From that time he has helped guide me on my CLL journey. <br /><br />I left early Sunday morning for Columbus OH on my monthly monitoring with the PCI Clinical Trial thinking Professor Hamblin was not in as grave health as earlier hospice reports indicated. Firing up my computer after returning last night was therefore a disheartening shock. While we all hoped and prayed for a miracle; gone is Terry's suffering and unbound by earthly tethers, his soul is free to roam. <br /><br />Terry's helping my understanding of the discordance in my CLL, his capacity for patience in answering my numerous questions and his mentoring encouragement when I became a Reviewer of blood cancer research proposals for the Defense Dept. will never be forgotten. I am in the process of finalizing critiques on a new set of some exciting proposals for which any value of my input, I owe much to Terry's prodigious and generous efforts in keeping us informed and learning how to think about the complexities of CLL and by extension other blood cancers. I am dedicating my best efforts to his memory that we may prevail and achieve the freedom from cancer he so dedicated his intelligence and caring to make real.<br /><br />My heart felt condolences to his family.<br /><br /><br />WWWWaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12333087913528941756noreply@blogger.com
