I just received this from Diane's CARE PAGE: 
 
We have lost another warrior
 
God only knows I did NOT want to be writing this. MY Beautiful Amazing wife of whom I have been with for 25 Years lost her battle with this CURSE we call cancer. She put up one HELL of a fight and I am very proud to say she was MY WIFE & the Mother of my 3 children. She did not respond to the chemo so they tried radiation. Her throat began to swell & her airways could not get much air. She then could not swallow and continued downhill from then. They tried for days to get the swelling to go down but all her symptoms just got worse and she did not have any relief from the radiation. She lost most of her functions and did not want to be on any machines. I plan on making a foundation in her name but do not know the details as of yet.Thank you all for supporting her and please continue a prayer for her and our children. The ONLY comfort any of us can seem to find is that she is not in any pain anymore! And we know she is in a better place right now then we are.
I LOVE YOU CORDELIA DIANE, MAY YOU WALK WITH THE LORD AND IN PEACE.
YOUR HUSBAND CRAIG

This is one that I just cannot wrap my mind around.  My heart aches so much for Craig and their children.

Life is so precious, so fragile.  

God bless and keep Craig and their babies and God bless Diane - may she rest in eternal peace.

I cannot believe this.  How horrendous.    A couple weeks ago she was feeling great, optimistic about reaching NED.    Poor Craig and the kids. 
Ugh, so sad.
