I've watched too many loved ones of mine lose their fight to cancer, I don't wish it on anyone!

 

Prayers for the senator and his family, I know they are taking it hard.

 

He was so strong & vital one day, then ........awful diagnosis.

Honest, honorable, decent, brave, gentlemanly.

 

Senator McCain is an exceptional human being and American patriot and statesman.  He is a thinking man as well as a man of action; such a rare combination.  

 

I respect this man so much even though we are often on opposing teams.  What a worthy "adversary."

In 2006 my 10 year old granddaughter died from a glioblastoma, diagnosed when she was 8-1/2. I am so sorry for this man and his family. This is a horrible disease and there's really no cure. Very sad.

I agree with you, he and I are often on different sides, but I surely do respect 

him.  He served his country when his father likely could have gotten him a safe desk job.  I don’t think we will see many more of his ilk.  Sad.

My prayers go out to Senator McCain and his family.

 

I was so happy he got to walk his daughter down the aisle.

That Senator McCain has received such praise and appreciation for his bravery and character from so many of opposing political opinions is a great example of bipartisanism!

Prayers  go out to Senator McCain and his family. Our country owes them gratitude and respect.

A good man. So appreciate his bipartisen outlook. I often think if he wasn't tied to dictates of any political party, he could have been one of the most fair-minded leaders we've seen.
