I don't consider myself to be a fan of his but from what I've seen, he appears to be a good guy and a fighter. I hope he comes out on top. He would be an inspiration to others with his condition. My prayers are with him.

Hey, "Marlboro Man". Watched the Walters' interview. Both you and your wife are exemplary people. Our prayers are with you to get stronger and both of you to be blessed by the Lord to weather this horrible disease. Praying for you.

You are here for a reason. The disease you have afflicts thousands of people daily. With your celebrity and reputation, you make a great spokesperson for those in your condition. God doesn't allow hardship for no reason. You give hope to the hopeless, that a cure can be found in your lifetime. Maybe you're the messenger that says, "we can find a cure, and today is the day". You have had a gift beyond all measure. Your marriage of 33 years, this is something we all look for, but seldom find. If this is the end of days for you, You have accomplished more in your 56 years than most who live very long lives. God Bless you and your special gift, Lisa.
Don't forget to say "Thank You God for today."

I have followed your movies you are a great actor.
Please forward this to him and have his doctors look at Zrii. It has helped me, challenged with
diabeties. Amalaki could be a helpful recovery for you Patrick. YOU are in my prayers for a complete healing in our Saviour Jesus Christ, AMEN.
