to Ginny

I found out just this evening that a friend from my mom’s list passed while I was in the hospital. She had pretty aggressive breast cancer. I can’t remember some of the specifics, how long since she was originally diagnosed. And whether her 2nd bout was a recurrence or 2nd primary, but I do know from the speed of the 2nd cancer and the treatments that it was aggressive. You wouldn’t know this if you didn’t know breast cancer because she was so strong, continued living her life as if it were just a bump in the road. She didn’t post to the list very often, which I also think may have given some false hope that all was well. But really it was her shining optimism throughout the whole thing. She was a good person who I was lucky to meet and have lunch with one day in St. Louis. She will be missed by me and many others. I’ll see you on the other side someday Ginny.
