Today has been a day of tears knowing that I was losing my friend to cancer. She has fought long and hard, her body could no longer go on. This evening she passed away, in no pain.

She has left a mark of love on my life. We meet on MaryJanes Farm Forum, and stated chatting and emailing each other. She began a good friend who listened and LOL, let me have it when I needed too. She understood dealing with horrible physical pain and the frustration of not having things figured out. She laughed and told stories as I told her some of mine. My story, one of them being, how I had my fingernails done for a weekend with my honey, didn't know they were flammable and lit those puppies on fire....sure made her laugh hard. Her sharing her children with me, the ups and downs of them, what project she was working on, her struggle with the cancer itself. She was a fighter but she was human and had her down moments, her outrage, her sadness. But in all of this, she cared and gave into others lives on a constant basis until close to the end, when there was no more energy to do so. She will never leave my heart.
In sharing herself with me, I have more love to give to others and I can pass her love on.
I will forever be grateful she was a part of my life............
