nickijay Posted June 13 Report Share Posted June 13 a woman i used to work with passed away on sunday from cancer. she was in her early 40's and left behind a husband, 14 year old son, mother, five sisters and more friends than you can count. i only had the privilege of knowing her for a year. when she came to work for our surgery center she was doing ok (she'd had a brain tumor removed and had battled the cancer for a couple of years at this point but was given a clean bill of health to go back to work...) she was one of the most positive people i've ever had the pleasure of knowing and she taught me (unknowingly) that i really have nothing to complain about in life b/c she fought this disease tooth and nail without ever a complaint. i won't forget the day she told me the cancer was back, this time in her lungs....later she found out she had another tumor in her brain and then eventually it spread to her bones....i just want to say that i loved her even though i only knew her for a year. she was truly one of the most loving, kind, selfless people i've ever met. tonight i went to her wake and tomorrow i'll attend her cremation. i just want to say that i'll never forget her as long as i live and i'd give anything to have her here with us. life is soooo unfair sometimes. it's always the good ones that get taken from us and i just don't get it. i really don't.....but at least i can say she taught me how to be a better person. thank you, theresa. ------------------ Boink like a bunny!uknj@aol.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
