Title: Pierre is probably the nicest guy I know
Post by: mk162 on April 11, 2012, 10:30:48 PM
And seriously.  I know a lot of people here have had him help them out with things, but the offer Pierre made my family is one that I can honestly say is about the most generous offer...ever.

As many of you know my daughter has a heart defect, she has an 8mm hole in her heart.  She's had it from birth and she is only 2 years old now.  We have a doctor currently, but Pierre has a family member that is one of the top cardiac surgeons in the world.  Pierre was kind enough to help put us in touch for a second opinion. 

Since the hospital that his relative visits frequently Pierre even offered to let us stay at his house instead of a hotel. 

It doesn't get any kinder than that.

He is indeed a good apple.  There are some pretty good folks in our industry and Pierre is one of those at the very top.  I have a 2 year old and I know how something like Pierre has done can mean the world, it is that special.  Way to go Pierre.

Agreed!!!

When you are in CLE, let me know if you need any help, I'm in the area too.
Hope your kid gets better.

thanks!  Thankfully the hole isn't growing as she grows.  Otherwise we'd be in more trouble.

Brad, you are making mountains out of molehills. It was a couple of emails and an offer to stay here to somebody who would do the same for his friends. As many here pointed out, lets keep our eyes on Ava, she is the one that maters!

That's true, but you certainly didn't have to offer to put us up in your house.  The only person who can vouch for me on the boards is Sonny, and that isn't a reference I like to show off. ;)

Damn Brad I hope as much as possible it works out for you and her, I know a tiny bit of where you are coming from, my daughter was born with a hole but it filled in as she grew phew! I dreaded every single dr visit expecting bad news and I always always hoped not to be exactly where you are!. Good news is they are so far ahead of fixing these things today than days of old I believe she will be just fine.

My grandma had a hole in her heart the size of a half dollar until she had it fixed in either the late 50's or early 60's.  Ironically, she passed away on the same exact day as Ava was born, about 12 hours apart.

I would agree and am not surprised at his offer. He's a very good guy.  :) Now that we all know this, he's got to maintain his rep. ;) It would be a shocker if he did anything questionable.

While he's a good guy, don't ever debate anything as simple as the makeup of cornflakes with him. ::)

I prefer my cornflakes without make up, though I've seen some shredded wheat improved with the tasteful application of rouge and mascara.

Although I resemble hat remark, I will say that sometimes people get what they deserve.  Brad is now and always has been a great guy.  Ava is a doll and he has a great wife.  Kudos to Pierre for his offer.  He also is a great guy as demonstrated by his auto of choice  ;).  Good for all involved.  Best to Ava.
