Michael Sweet's wife passed away

Absolutely devastating! R.I.P.

Thoughts and prayers go out to Michael and family. I lost a dear friend to ovarian cancer a few years back. To quote Ultmetal again "Cancer Sucks"

Really sorry to hear that. Are they giving her any hope of recovery or is she beyond that?

unfortunately there is no hope. she is in hospice care right now where they are trying to make her passing as gentle as possible, but she's still suffering badly. the doctor didn't feel confident that she'd make it more than a few months at best.

I am sorry - my prayers are with you and your family

Both he and Randy's wife. Both strong, brave women. I never met Kyle, but I feel like I have.

I think Stryper fans have some weird connection, moreso than other bands. Liek a family, and she was leader.

RIP> Another gone too soon.

If I was a believer my prayers would be with you.

I've never been a fan, but my condolences to him, both families, and their friends.

I repeat, CANCER SUCKS!!!

*sigh*......oh boy. This is so sad. I hate cancer, it does suck. My wife has had no less than 3 family members die of cancer when she was a teenager. I never really gave it much thought until I met her 15 years ago but now I know alot about many types of cancer and it seems these days it is just so rampant in our world.

Not a Stryper fan, but this still really sad. Cancer can go f*ck itself.

It sucks when cancer takes a loved one, my repects go out to the family!

Terribly sorry to hear that, man. I watched this disease take my uncle at 34. It's life, I guess, but it's such a shame that nothing can be done in so many instances. =(

So sorry to hear this, I went through this with my mother in 1993,
she died of lung cancer at 54, when I was only 27. It's still hard for
me to deal with, I try to remember the good times and it helps. My
6 year old daughter will never get to meet her, and she looks just
like her!

My thoughts and prayers go out to you, and your family.
as for Michael's too.

I'm sorry to hear that too. CANCER SUCKS!

I can't wait for the day it goes from Cancer to Cancure. My best regards to Michael and the rest of the Sweet family.

As am I.

I don't know how I missed this post yesterday, but I will certainly send a prayer to the Lord for both the Sweet family and MC's family when I lay down tonight. RIP, Kyle.

My thoughts and prayers to the Sweet family and to MC666. My grandmother died of cancer and so did my best friend's sister. I don't remember how old she was but she was barely 20. He never fully recovered from his loss (it devestated him till his dying day). I have nothing but the upmost sympathy for people who loose others to this dispicable disease.

Hate to hear this. Like a few others on the board, I'm not a Stryper fan, but this is still terrible. RIP.

Apparently Michael Sweet is engaged to be married again... barely six months after his wife's passing? That seems awfully quick to me, but I guess if he's happy, God bless him...

P.S. those of you with sensitive constitutions will probably not want to read the comments left under this article by the Blabbermouth peanut gallery. Needless to say they're having a field day with it.

I saw this - it seems too soon to me, but if it works for Michael, great. But still, his wife hasn't even been dead for 6 months.... wow....

Then again - there is nothing morally wrong with it either, his wife is dead.

But still - it seems too soon. I mean how many albums did his Kyle Sweet do make up before she and Michael were married? Wow
