I have changed my avatar to a picture of my big sister and I that was taken six months before her passing to pancreatic cancer. She has been gone for three years and I just want to honor her here I hope it does not offend any as she was an awesome gal and also a survivor or breast cancer. She had symptoms she just did not heed them, so ladies whenever you feel something is too small to complain to your doctor about IT IS NOT! She was a powerhouse and a really great gal, I love ya Sue and I miss you!

    Dear RE...
    How many times have I typed here on the board... that you have a heart so big I don't understand how your body can hold it. I don't know, and it doesn't matter. What I do know is that I will be moved to repeat it again, just like today.

    Your beloved sister was beautiful, as you are. Thanks for sharing the photo - your smiles are nearly identical. It is a lovely way to honor & remember her.

    Offend?!? Absolutely not - your sister was one of us.

    Sending heartfelt cyberhugs your way...

    Kindest regards, Susan xo

    What a beautiful pair and how sweet of you to honor her. I can only offer my condolences on the loss you experienced. Over time happy memories replace our sorrow but there is always that little ache in our heart. Much love and prayers for you, sweet, sweet RE. As Chen and others have stated you are such a dear part of this board and you could never offend.

    from Christmas Girl.. We love you dearly - photo's, poem's, ranting .. would never offend any of us -))). We are a family - and we are of different personalities, likes - dis-likes, but more importantly - we are a FAMILY.

    Blessings and prayers to all my fellow WARRIOR - Sisters in PINK who find themselves with a loved one, sibling, friend, husband struggling with cancer! One would think - 1 family member in the family dealing with breast cancer is enough for many of us .. damn cancer.

    Strength and Courage
