Lost a friend today
« on: December 21, 2012, 01:44:02 PM »
She was married to another old friend. It was not unexpected, she had been in hospice care at home the past few weeks, but it's still hard to hear. She fought so hard for close to two years! She even got up enough strength to play a short public gig late this summer before relapsing.

44 is way too young to go.

So sorry to hear this Dave.  Some days I feel 63 is too young and then I hear something like this and it's just heartbreaking to see a life cut so short.  I pray you and her family have peace and comfort from the memories she sowed with all of you.  Prayers and blessings for all who feel the loss.

Sorry to hear this, Dave.  At least she is no longer in pain of any sort.

Thanks, guys.

Her husband, parents and critters were with her at the end. There's some small comfort in that.

Condolences.  Way too young, indeed.  What was it that ended her life so soon?

Wow, I'm sorry Dave. Way too young. I'm glad her family was with her though I hope that can be some little comfort as they figure out how to move forward.

Gary, it was digestive system cancer, but she had so many small tumors that they were never able to find the exact origin. They threw everything at her the first two rounds of chemo and that nearly killed her. It stopped the cancer temporarily but it returned a third time a vengeance. After the third round failed, she decided she could no longer fight it.

I'm very sorry to hear that.  I have an uncle who is fighting brain cancer, but he is much older than 44.

Herzliches Beileid. Only a few days ago, the former husband of a friend and former partner in the firm died. He was in his early fifties if not younger. Cause? Flu. He was already beyond the symptoms and thought he was recovering, wham. Always a funny guy who did not take himself to seriously. Three kids, oldest one in the early twenties. What a Christmas.
