Donald (Don) Frank Barnes Please donate in the name of my dad, Don Barnes, so that a cure and/or treatments to prolong life for sufferers of this terrible disease can be found. I lost my dad to this terrible disease on September 19 after a 4 year battle. He was diagnosed in September 2015 after suffering from what was thought to be multiple cases of pneumonia. Finally going to a specialist & being told he has pulmonary fibrosis, we didn’t know what that meant or what the next steps were? As a family, we began to do our own research & started learning that it is a diagnosis that would change our lives forever. After seeing a Pulmonologist that told us what you read on the internet, is in fact the definition of this disease. We began to learn that the pulmonary fibrosis would lead to a much bigger problem, Pulmonary Hypertension. With both of these diseases, my dad didn’t have a fighting chance. Although he fought like hell, it would eventually be much more than his body could handle. My dad leaves behind his wife of 28 years, Freda Barnes, 3 adult children & spouses, 5 grandchildren, 1 great-grandson & 1 great-granddaughter on the way. He is a USMC Vietnam Veteran that served his Country honorably from 1964-1968. My mission in starting this memorial tribute page in my dad’s honor is so that we can hopefully continue to raise money & awareness for Pulmonary Fibrosis/Pulmonary Hypertension. If doctors can save 1 life from this nasty disease because more research is being done, then I know I’ve made my dad proud! Pulmonary hypertension is a type of high blood pressure that affects the arteries in your lungs and the right side of your heart. In one form of pulmonary hypertension, tiny arteries in your lungs, called pulmonary arterioles, and capillaries become narrowed, blocked or destroyed. This makes it harder for blood to flow through your lungs, and raises pressure within your lungs' arteries. As the pressure builds, your heart's lower right chamber (right ventricle) must work harder to pump blood through your lungs, eventually causing your heart muscle to weaken and fail. With pulmonary hypertension, the rise in blood pressure is caused by changes in the cells that line your pulmonary arteries. These changes can cause the walls of the arteries to become stiff and thick, and extra tissue may form. The blood vessels may also become inflamed and tight. These changes in the pulmonary arteries can reduce or block blood flow through the blood vessels. This makes it harder for blood to flow, raising the blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries. Pulmonary fibrosisis a lung disease that occurs when lung tissue becomes damaged and scarred. This thickened, stiff tissue makes it more difficult for your lungs to work properly. As pulmonary fibrosis worsens, you become progressively more short of breath. Pulmonary fibrosis scars and thickens the tissue around and between the air sacs (alveoli) in your lungs. This makes it more difficult for oxygen to pass into your bloodstream. The damage can be caused by many different factors — including long-term exposure to certain toxins, certain medical conditions, radiation therapy and some medications. Long-term exposure to a number of toxins and pollutants can damage your lungs. The lung scarring that occurs in pulmonary fibrosis can't be reversed, and no current treatment has proved effective in stopping progression of the disease. Some treatments may improve symptoms temporarily or slow the disease's progression. Others may help improve quality of life. High blood pressure in your lungs (pulmonary hypertension).Unlike systemic high blood pressure, this condition affects only the arteries in your lungs. It begins when the smallest arteries and capillaries are compressed by scar tissue, causing increased resistance to blood flow in your lungs. This in turn raises pressure within the pulmonary arteries and the lower right heart chamber (right ventricle). Some forms of pulmonary hypertension are serious illnesses that become progressively worse and are sometimes fatal. Some treatments may improve symptoms temporarily or slow the disease's progression. Others may help improve quality of life. Researchers continue to study medications to treat pulmonary fibrosis.

Hatsuko Stutz Hatsuko Stutz October 5th 1934 - October 2nd 2019 Hatsuko Stutz, age 84, passed away peacefully on October 2nd 2019 after a courageous battle with pulmonary fibrosis at the Aspirus Hospital in Wausau, Wisconsin. She will always be remembered for having a smile, regardless of her situation. Born in Kumamoto, Japan, she is a descendant from a Noble Samurai family named Kudo, whose history in Japan goes back nearly 1000 years. Hatsuko was the last surviving Princess of the Kudo family, but her young life was a constant struggle. The last vestige of their land was swindled from the Kudo’s by a corrupt government official before the start of World War II, and the family wound up destitute and living in the barn of their former estate. Her father died in an accident, and her new step-father sold Hatsuko, at 10 years old, and her younger brother into involuntary servitude at nearby farms. During the War at 11 years of age, while eating a potato on a hill, Hatsuko witnessed the firebombing by B29's resulting in the complete destruction of Kumamoto City. Even at such a young age, she never looked upon the American Armed Forces as enemies and instead as liberators from her oppression. At 15 years old, during the early days of the United States occupation of Japan, she escaped her captivity. She worked as a textile factory worker for a few years, and then as a cabaret dancer. She met her first husband, United States Army 11th airborne division sergeant Rinaldo Campise at a dance hall, and they fell in love. Hatsuko and first sergeant Campise were married shortly thereafter. After the end of the Korean War, Hatsuko and sergeant Campise, now with the 101st airborne division, moved to Fort Campbell, KY and had their first daughter Deborah. While stationed in Germany, they had two more children, Ronald and Karen. Hatsuko lost her first husband from injuries received after his return from the Vietnam War while deployed with the 82nd airborne division. In 1967 Hatsuko moved with her three children to Los Angeles, CA. They encountered many hardships but she worked hard. She independently raised them to be strong capable people. Fulfilling a lifelong dream, she graduated college with a degree in fashion design in 1981. Hatsuko then met her second husband Carlos Stutz. The now Hatsuko Stutz worked in the fashion industry until her husband Carlos passing in 1991. She then opened her own business, along with her daughters in El Segundo, CA. There she designed and marketed her own line of clothing. In 1998, Hatsuko purchased her first loom and developed a passion for weaving. She was an innovative and prolific weaver of fabric, rugs and clothing. Hatsuko’s love of textiles was woven into the remainder of her life. Hatsuko moved to Phillips, Wisconsin in 2014 with her youngest daughter Karen and husband James Murphy. In February of 2018 Hatsuko was diagnosed with terminal pulmonary fibrosis of the lungs. Having fought to the very end, Hatsuko Stutz lost her battle with her illness. Hatsuko passed away from this world and entered into eternal goodness and light while hearing the earnest prayers of her children. Hatsuko is survived by her son Ronald Campise (Lisa) from Los Angeles who is a veteran technical crime scene supervisor with the Los Angeles Police Department’s Detective Bureau, her daughter Karen Murphy (James) who is an antique dealer, her four grandchildren Chelseah, Connor, Alex and Brian, and her step-grandsons Ian and Justin. Her first born daughter, Deborah Campise, preceded her in death on October 16, 2018 of cancer. Hatsuko Stutz, the last Princess from the Noble Kudo family from southern Japan, left this World a much better place. Thoughts and prayers are welcome. In lieu of flowers, the family wishes that a donation instead be made to the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation. https://app.mobilecause.com/vf/PFFTribute/HatsukoStutz Please donate in the name of Hatsuko Stutz, so that a cure and/or treatments to prolong life for sufferers of this terrible disease can be found.

Hello! My aunt, Tisha Gordon passed away suddenly due to a mix of health issues but one of the main problems that prevented her from getting better was her fight with pulmonary fibrosis. She passed three weeks shy of my 20th birthday, while that broke my heart I chose to see this as an opportunity to use my birthday as a way to help fight this disease towards one of the diseases that took my amazingly strong aunt from us so suddenly. So this year for my birthday, I am asking for donations to the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation rather than gifts. Thank you so much for your help in anyway its shown! Please donate in the name of Tisha Gordon, so that a cure and/or treatments to prolong life for sufferers of this terrible disease can be found.
