IN MEMORY OF PATRICK SWAYZE TRIBUTE 1952 - 2009
Patrick Swayze’s private memorial will be held on Sunday, October 4, 2009. The Dirty Dancing actor died on September 14 after losing his battle against pancreatic cancer and his family and friends will pay tribute to him at the service which will be held at Sony Studios in Culver City, California.
Mourners are being asked that in lieu of flowers they donate to either the Patrick Swayze Pancreas Cancer Research Fund or Stand Up to Cancer, the organization that benefited from a multinetwork, star-studded telethon last September. Swayze was one of the featured speakers.
"The Time of My Life" by Patrick Swayze and Lisa Niemi.
Listen to the audio of "The Time of My Life" by Patrick Swayze and Lisa Niemi.
In a career spanning more than thirty years, Patrick Swayze has made a name for himself on the stage, the screen, and television. Known for his versatility, passion and fearlessness, he's become one of our most beloved actors.
But in February 2008, Patrick announced he had been diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer. Always a fighter, he refused to let the disease bring him to his knees, and his bravery has inspired both his legion of fans and cancer patients everywhere. Yet this memoir, written with wisdom and heart, recounts much more than his bout with cancer. In vivid detail, Patrick describes his Texas upbringing, his personal struggles, his rise to fame with North and South, his commercial breakthroughs in Dirty Dancing and Ghost, and the soul mate who's stood by his side through it all: his wife, writer and director Lisa Niemi.
A behind-the-scenes look at a Hollywood life and a remarkable love, this memoir is both entertainment and inspiration. Patrick and Lisa's marriage is a journey of two lives intertwined and lived as one--throughout their years in Hollywood and at home on their working ranch outside Los Angeles, and culminating in the hope and wisdom they've imparted to all who know them. This book will open the door for families, individuals, and husbands and wives to grow, bond and discover entirely new levels of love and sharing, proving that life shouldn't be lived as a series of endings, but rather as the beginning of greater strength and love.
Sincere thanks to Lisa for sending us this news and we back the Research Fund with all our support. Please promote the Research Fund if you can, thanks "Patrick Swayze Pancreas Cancer Research Fund"
