  • Feet and Fingers
    During a hospital visit, EJ touches Carolynne's swollen feet where her daughter Melissa had painted her toenails. Fluid build-up in her legs was one factor that forced Carolynne to stop chemotherapy. A week later, she was sent home under hospice care.

  • Carolynne and EJ in bed
    Carolynne St. Pierre rests with EJ, 4, after reading to him before bedtime on August 22, 2006, her 44th birthday. Every night that Carolynne is around to read to EJ "counts for everything," Rich said. Carolynne was diagnosed with a rare form of liver cancer less than two years after EJ was born and two weeks before she and Rich were married.
