CHUCK SCHULDINER's Mother: Lighting Candles In His Memory

May 14, 2005

Jane Schuldiner, mother of late DEATH/CONTROL DENIED frontman Chuck Schuldiner, has posted the following statement at EmptyWords.org on what would have been Chuck's 38th birthday (he was born May 13, 1967):

"Dear fans and friends,

"I want to thank you for all the mail I have received this week letting me know you have not forgotten that today is Chuck's birthday. I know there are many of you who are having friends over to talk, some light candles in his memory, which I do also, and there are those of you who will lift a drink in salute to him.

"I sure do wish I could join you. But I am, as always, grateful to have you today in thought, even though you're scattered all over the globe. As one of you said in 2001, I am never alone, I have children everywhere! That's such a good thought to have. Take care."

Chuck Schuldiner passed away in December 2001 after a battle with pontine glioma, a rare type of brain tumor.
