Sally and Bo Willis Dear Family and Friends, As many of you know, my wonderful Mom, Sally Willis passed away in May 2014. She was my hero, my rock, and my best friend. I want very much to honor her life, legacy, and indomitable spirit by raising money and awareness for Pulmonary Fibrosis, a cause very near and dear to Mom’s heart. On New Year’s Eve 2008, Mom lost the love of her life, Bo Willis, my incredible Dad, to Pulmonary Fibrosis. Her life was never the same. Over 30,000 people worldwide are diagnosed with PF every year. It is a progressive and severely debilitating lung disease, which slowly robs people of their livelihood and independence. It kills most patients within 3 years of initial diagnosis. Currently, there is no cure. This fall, I want to unite my love of the great outdoors: (mountains and hiking to be exact!) with finding a cure for PF, a cause that was incredibly meaningful to my Mom, especially during the difficult years following my Dad’s death. On September 8th, I will be lacing up my smelly hiking boots and over the course of the next 12 days, I will circumnavigate Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in the Alps. My journey will take me through 3 countries and over 100 miles. I hope you will consider honoring my Mom and her love for my Dad by sponsoring me $1 per mile or any other multiple of 100 that you feel is appropriate and make a donation in the name of Sally and Bo Willis to the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation. PFF is non-profit organization dedicated to offering care and support for those suffering from this deadly disease. I am proud to say I served on PFF’s board for over 6 years. All donations are tax-deductible and every dollar raised goes to help support the mission of the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation. Any amount will be greatly appreciated. This will be bittersweet trip for me. Not having my Mom and Dad in my life anymore is deeply sad for me. However, incredible beauty of the mountains will be a source of great comfort and a gentle reminder that my parents are still with me. Thank you. JulieIf you have any questions please contact Jake Meding at jmeding@pulmonaryfibrosis.org or (312)854-2627

Sharon Cirilli In February 2014, Sharon was diagnosed with a genetic form of Pulmonary Fibrosis, an autoimmune disorder that causes lung tissue to become damaged and scarred over time. As Pulmonary Fibrosis worsens, those who are affected become progressively short of breath, with their quality of life greatly decreasing. Currently, the lung damage caused by this disease can not be repaired, but medications and therapies are prescribed with the hope to ease the various symptoms and side effects. In the grand scheme of things, very little is known about this deadly disease, its progression, and whether or not there are specific genetic markers for the 200+ variations. Sharon ultimately passed from complications of pneumonia due to her Pulmonary Fibrosis. Over only a year and a half, her family and friends watched the disease become increasingly visible and rapidly deteriorate her health. At 63 years old, she went from a happy, new retiree with big plans of relaxing, and traveling with her husband to someone who was imprisoned to an oxygen machine, day and night, struggling to breathe on her own.Sharon was more than just a caring person--she was an amazing wife and mother to three beautiful children. Not to mention, she touched the lives of thousands throughout her 38 year teaching career. She was an extremely gifted sewer and spent much of her time crafting bags, dresses, and pillowcases to donate to Little Dresses for Africa, St. Judes, and Warm-Up America (among others). Her life was full of compassion, her sense of humor was contagious, and her kind heart was truly felt by everyone who knew her.In Sharon's honor, her family and friends are seeking to raise $25,000 to donate to The Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation. Donations will benefit those who have succumbed to the disease, are currently fighting it, and will face Pulmonary Fibrosis in the future. Sharon is survived by her high school sweetheart and husband of 39 years, Alan Cirilli, as well as her three children (Alan II, Anthony, and Ashley M.) and daughter in law (Ashley E.). All proceeds go towards: • Finding effective treatments and a cure for pulmonary fibrosis• Advocating for the pulmonary fibrosis community • Promoting disease awareness • Providing a compassionate environment for patients and their families Please donate and together we can help those living with pulmonary fibrosis and the families of those we have lost.

Charles E. Lindsey More photos My father had an engaging smile and the most kind and generous soul. All who met him left feeling better about themselves. His life was well-lived with pride, dignity and respect for everyone. Unfortunately, his life was cut short by Pulmonary Fibrosis, a horrible and devastating disease with no effective treatment or cure. My father faced his illness with determination, strength and courage. Always hoping for a cure, he continued to research creative treatments on his own until the day he died. On that day he said, " We do what is possible. It's the impossible that takes a little longer."Together we can make the impossible possible by finding a cure for Pulmonary Fibrosis.I am raising awareness and funds for the mission of the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation.

I have slipped the surly bonds of earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds – and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of – wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air. Up, up the long delirious, burning blue, I’ve topped the windswept heights with easy grace Where never lark, or even eagle flew – And, while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod The high untresspassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand and touched the face of God.

Karabed Shirikchian KARABED (GARY) SHIRIKCHIAN BORN 12-22-1937 DIED 04-19-2018For those of us fortunate enough to have known Gary, he will be sadly missed,but, he will live on in our hearts and memories. He was an unwavering Husband, Father, and Grandfather. For Gary, his work and his family was his life and he lived a rich and fruitful life. From his birth in Aleppo, Syria, his marriage to Nver in Armenia, and his final journey to the United States with his family, you might say that he was well traveled. His family came to California financially poor, but family rich. His love of family and determination to succeed in his new homeland brought him the success he so desired. Gary, is the shining example of what made the United States of America great. He was a full blooded American through and through of Armenian descent. He was tough and kind. He could make you laugh and then make you think. He succumbed to Pulmonary Fibrosis at the age of 80. Considering his life, it was well lived. What he accomplished in 80 years is what most of us could only dream of accomplishing. REST IN PEACE, GARY WE LOVE YOU..........................................

Art Prouty Arthur ”Art” Edward Prouty was born in Astoria, Oregon to Gordon and Edwina Prouty, growing up in various locations throughout the Willamette Valley from Carlton to Eugene. After attending Monroe High School, he promptly joined the US Navy serving aboard the USS Coral Sea aircraft carrier. In 1967, Art married the love of his life, Audrey (Fields). He worked in the wood products industry for 30 years, then in real estate for another 20 years. Alongside his wife of 51 years, he raised 4 children who blessed him richly with 10 grandchildren. Family was everything to Art. He was so proud of his family and made sure everyone he came across knew it. He always lived life to the fullest, enjoying every moment and every person who crossed his path. You could say Art never knew a stranger. His motto was, “Love God, love people, be happy,” and he took that to heart. Every life he touched was impacted in a positive way. Even those who had only met him once never forgot him. His laughter was contagious, his cheerfulness irresistible, his presence unforgettable. On August 15, 2015, Art was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). As difficult as this news was to hear, Art would not let this get him down. He continued to live each day with enthusiasm, enjoying road trips to Montana, riding four wheelers with his kids, tending his garden, and dancing his heart out, just as long as his body would allow him. On May 14, 2018, his long battle with IPF came to an end. Art passed away at Good Samaritan hospital in Corvallis, Oregon, surrounded by his loving wife, children, and grandchildren. Even in those final days, his positive nature continued to touch those around him, including the doctors, nurses, and medical staff who cared for him. He always put a smile on his face and kept a cheerful spirit. During the extent of his illness, Art had an amazing care team including his lung specialist, Dr. Susan Cho, and primary care physician, Dr. Michael Sherman. Their patient attentiveness to his needs, even if it meant listening to lengthy stories about his children and grandchildren, did not go unnoticed. We are truly grateful for such compassionate care. Art will be greatly missed by his family, friends, and so many others whose lives he touched.
