Last week I posted about participating in the Survivors' Walk at our local Relay For Life event. Mom is 92 and hasn't been able to do the walk since she was 87, so I was walking for her. I also walked for my sister-in-law, diagnosed two months ago with pancreatic cancer. She passed away this afternoon after having been lovingly cared for at home by Hospice.
If you can, please help us to celebrate her life by donating to hospice programs, the American Cancer Society, Planned Parenthood, or any other organization that screens for cancer, seeks a cure or helps to ease the suffering of patients and their families. At the very least, hospice nurses and volunteers can always use a hug.
Thank you.
