With a heavy heart I post this... I will miss my mom with everything in me. She was such a wonderful mother and such a great supporter. She always smiled and laughed no matter how sick she was. She was always more worried about everybody else than herself. She was the most compassionate woman. She was a shiny person. She was the kind of woman that would light up a room when she walked in. She loved her children and her grandchildren and they loved her so much. She fought this cancer with everything in her. She was a fighter. Her strength was amazing even to her doctors. I wish we could have had more time but i know that God had other plans. But i will miss her so much. I will continue to support Triple Negative Breast Cancer research and do my best to support the cause. Last May, Mom and I took a team to Columbus for Race for the Cure. Mom was so inspired by all the survivors that were there. She was so happy that day. She smiled all day long. I will never forget that. Bittersweet memories. Thanks for listening. ------------- For my beautiful mother age 55 IDC 7cm Triple Neg Dx 10/08 ACx4, Taxol x4 L Mastectectomy 4/09 3 nodes positive Radiation finished 7/09 Malignant Pleural Effusion 11/09 In treatment again |

I send you my heartfelt condolences in the loss of your wonderful mom. Never have I seen a picture of anyone that exudes all that she does. I did not know your mom (unfortunately for me), but I can surely believe all that you say she was, as her face emits all of it. I know you will miss her dearly, and if a picture is worth 1000 words - her picture says it all. May your memories of her bring you strength and in time, much peace. I am so very sorry.
