A dear friend died suddenly this week and I already miss her. For 5 years she suffered and fought against cancer to stay alive for her husband, her children, and her friends. She loved all of them and she loved life. Always cheerful and optimistic, even through surgery, radiation, and chemo; She was a strong person but a gentle person who knew how to live in the moment. She did not complain about the past and she did not worry about the future. She just did the best she could for today. Sadly, for her husband, children, and friends, she ran out of todays. I am grateful for the extra time that she was with us because of her determination to live. We had great times together and many laughs. Barbara Anne Teller was a jewel of a friend!
I am sorry to hear about your friend. I am sure you and Nancy's lives are richer for the gift of friendship she shared with you.
