Can we win this day for my friend Kathy from Columbus?

We are gonna crush 'em today. And this win will be for a long time friend and wife an old friend who despite dying from
breast cancer had her husband drive her to early voting 4 days ago where they voted from their car. She slipped into a
coma last night and I doubt she will wake back up. But if she does I want her to see that a blue wave has washed our
nation clean.

Please think good thoughts about my friend Kathy from Western Michigan and Columbus. She is one of the good ones.

Although if she does pass now it might be for the best. Her body has gone through a lot over the
past 3 or 4 months after her cancer returned any one of which could have ended her life. Fluid in
her lungs, edemas (heart problems?), pressure on her liver/bile ducts from the cancer, cracked ribs,
problems walking, radiation treatments, falling out of bed, and ....

Their vote will be a back up for your friend. They usually vote early . How kind of you to remember your friend in this way as it is so important to her. Another reason for us to carry on n fight the good fight.

About the only thing worse than having cancer is living in Ohio (politically that is - otherwise a great place).

It has to be maddening.

Hope she gets great news that helps in her recovery!
