thank you sid for sharing this sad news
with hurting heart i share this sad news as we all remember kathy and jose's battle with this disease, i bought one of his microscopes!
i feel so incredibly sad for jose, i know he is at loss... as they were as one.
I'm sure all of you will recall Kathy Jimenez, (remember the Body Bugs video) and her incredible battle with this hideous disease. I hope that one of you will post the information about Kathy's death, not Jose's email, of course. I think those who remember Kathy should be advised of her death. It's important to remember and honor those who have walked beside us during our incredible journey whether we have enjoyed a personal friendship with them or not. Blessings, Sid ----- Dear Friends,
It is with the heaviest heart that I write to let you know that my dear wonderful loving wife of 42 years passed away in the early hours of this morning, August 2nd. This was quite sudden and unexpected, and quite frankly it has punched the wind out of my being. Many of you knew and loved her, for which I am so grateful. But right now my mind is numb and my spirit is crushed to pieces and I can barely gather my thoughts here. However, I am thankful for having shared this life with her, the wife of my youth. Thankful for our two sons and four grandchildren. And grateful that she is now in the presence of the Lord and for all eternity.
I write this with tears streaming down my face, Oh boy will I miss her!
Please receive my blessings on you and your family,
Jose

Ruth, thank you for sharing this with everyone. I too was devastated when I received the email early yesterday morning, and was in such shock and sadness, I really didn't know whether to post or not. Kathy and Jose, imho - are the real Romeo and Juliet. My heart is broken for Jose, as I know he loved his wife of 42 years more than the sun rises. Kathy and Jose were such advocates for us all. They risked so much with pubically voicing on tv about Morgellons and what they'd found. Together, they worked with a friend of theirs (Patrick) of Fox news in Florida, and they did 3 news segments on tv called (Body Bugs). www.youtube.com/watch?v=iC4i1nPIgK0I have the link here, in fact just last week I'd asked Jose for it - because it's unavailable on the internet now. I'm so sad that Kathy's life here is done now, and that her loving husband Jose is without her. I know Jose is comforted knowing she's with the Lord. God Bless Kathy Jimenez.

Such terribly sad news, but thank you for posting Sid. Kathy and Jose were the Romeo and Juliet, having spent most of their lives together helping others, long before the onslaught of Morgellons appeared in their lives. Kathy was an intelligent, dedicated researcher and Jose documented her disease excellently, yet with all of the proof of the bugs coming from her body, no one would believe them...yet they both continued to fight for the recognition and eradication of this disease! I spent just a short time with Kathy and Jose in CT after their trip to NYC for an investigation of the disease; such a beautiful, loving couple to be with, full of fun, knowledge, and Faith and Hope...I shall remember her love for all and the dedication to her friends and family. Dearest Kathy, you will be missed by many and your fight never to be forgotten! May God place you on Jose's shoulder as you were his Angel in life as you will be eternally. With love to Kathy and Jose's family and with great sadness, CTBarb

Dear Jose
I do not know you but want you to know I feel so terrible for you. I found out that I had seen you and your wife on the news and want you to know it helped me to not feel crazy even though back then I thought it was only bugs. God bless you during these hard times.
Sincerely Lynn

Devastating news...for I feel we are all "one". I am so sorry for Jose and for so many left suffering -- to not see normal days before we leave this earthly journey is my goal, as for us all--but know this isn't always our destiny.
God Bless with solace, love and comfort love pdidit
