concerned daughter in FL Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 yesterday, at about noon. My mom was a most remarkable woman, and I still can't imagine how I'm going to live life without her. Our newspaper had this story in today's paper about her. I was dreading it...figuring the typical headline would be something like "...Loses Her Battle With Cancer", but lo and behold they suprised us and it was the most perfect and uplifting thing they could have printed. http://tampatrib.com/FloridaMetro/MGB6TENVX8E.html I know I took more than I gave, from this forum. I want to thank everyone who helped me with questions, or just offered support, and I hope to find a way to be a more of a giver here in the future. I may not have posted much, but I read a lot, and I am praying for each and every one of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
