Family's you may know of affected by Pancreatic Cancer:
BRAD PAISLEY, LORETTA LYNN, CRYSTAL GAYLE, BUDDY KILLEN, JOE CARTER, JUNE AND JOHNNY CASH FAMILY......................
BRAD PAISLEY - When Brad's grandfather was diagnosed he only lived about three or so months. His grandfather gave him his first guitar when he was eight. Before his grandfather passed, he got a chance to see Brad open for the Judds.
LORETTA LYNN AND SISTER CRYSTAL GAYLE - Loretta and Crystal's brother died of pancreatic cancer in July of 1996. That same year, Loretta Lynn's husband passed away. Loretta was the first woman ever to be named Entertainer of the year by both the Country Music Association and the Academy of Country Music.
BUDDY KILLEN - Buddy was a music publisher, songwriter and record producer who helped launch the careers of Dolly Parton and Bill Anderson. He published the hit song "Heartbreak Hotel" by Elvis Presley. He also published songs for the hit duo OutKast. Buddy died Nov. 1, 2006 of pancreatic cancer.
JOE CARTER, CARTER AND CASH FAMILY-Joe was the musician son of two founding members of the country band the Carter Family, A.P. and Sara Carter. His Aunt was Maybelle (the third founding member) and his cousins were June and Johnny Cash. Joe died in March 2005 of pancreatic cancer.

April 27, 2003 We lost EDWARD L. GAYLORD to pancreatic cancer. He was chairman and CEO of OPUBCO. You also know he and his families companies from Gaylord Entertainment....Ryman, Opryland Hotel, Wildhorse, etc.
OUTSIDE OF COUNTRY WE ARE STILL LOSING LOVED ONES TO THIS KILLER AS WELL...
President JIMMY CARTER lost his father, brother and both sisters to pancreatic cancer. BRUCE WILLIS lost his brother to pancreatic cancer. KATIE COURIC lost her older sister Emily to it. Oscar winning composer HENRY MANCINI, MICHAEL LANDON, PAUL MITCHELL and LUCIANO PAVAROTTI died of it. PATRICK SWAYZE has just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. There are more, and the list will continue to grow unless we do something fast. I am happy to say we found a survivor in the Country Music Family, TERRI CLARK'S Mother. There is hope!!
