This is Wendy's husband Jim. Luckily, she saved her password so I could log in. I know she followed and actively posted to this group so I just wanted everyone to know that Wendy passed yesterday in her home. She was surrounded by loving caring family for her final days. I want to thank all the brave women on this forum for sharing their expertise, experiences and support with Wendy. She benefited greatly from everyone's support.

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain.( bone,liver,brain,lung mets)

Jim--

My heart and soul and prayers of comfort go out to you and your family.

Although I never met Wendy in person, she and her signature line; "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain." have had a profound effect on me and several members of my family.

Next time it rains, I intend to go out and dance my butt off, and think of Wendy being with the Angels!

Jane - Dance as if no one is watching!!
