I lost a dear friend today
Not to breast cancer but to brain cancer. Sheri Spittler-Davenport was a wonderful person. So smart and with a razor sharp sense of humor. She leaves behind a loving husband and a young son. The world has lost such a loving soul.

They remembered me from back in 2011! I had bought one bra and a set of lighweight foam-like prosthetics. Because of pain issues, I never got to wear…
