Hi,

For all of you that have been caring about my friend, Linda. She passed away this afternoon. I appreciate all the warmth I have gotten from my last post about her...

Take care,

Mary, I just saw you post this and was looking for an update.  Mary, I am SO SO sorry to hear of your loss.  I noted to you before that my hope was that Linda was pain free and flying free... please take comfort that she is.

I am so sorry! My deepest condolences to Linda's family, friends... and to you.

I, too, am so sorry for your loss, but so glad that you were able to spend some quality time with her before her passing and have been able to be with her family in the last few days...

What a great loss to lose a friend so dear.
Holding you (and her family) up in prayer!

Hello Dear people,

How do I thank you for helping get me through this hard week.?? It is so remarkable that 3 weeks ago today I got my diagnosis and today I am writing to so many new friends with big hearts. I do feel Linda will greatly help me through this. She was such an inspiration.

Thank you so much for every beautiful comment and all the comforting words.

Off to talk to a surgeon about possible surgery. Hoping to get an appointment soon for possible GK or CK. I am taking your comfort and Linda's with me and it makes it easier to face.

Take care all,

Mary

I, too, am sorry for the loss of your friend.   :'(

Best of luck to you as you face this new challenge in your life.  Please keep us posted on what your doctor's have to say.  Remember that you must do what is the best for YOU.  You will find support on here for whatever you choose to do, or not do!

It's difficult to be informed instantly on something that only a few short weeks ago you'd never even heard of, and we've almost all been in that same boat.  So this is a great place to ask questions and to find out where else to go for answers - like the cyberknife support group, for instance. 

Take care.

Mary-

Big hugs to you.  People like your dear friend Linda are a special gift - how fortuante for both of you that your paths crossed in this life.  Take time to grieve, and then keep the good memories in your heart.

warmly,

Mary,

This is just so much for one person to have to deal with all at once.  I'm sorry for your loss.  I know you will have wonderful memories of Linda to carry with you through your upcoming journey and beyond.  It sounds like Linda has set a good example of how to handle challenges gracefully, and I know you'll have your own special angel cheering you on.

I'll be thinking of you and Linda's family.
