I couldn't even write much earlier for the tears. Twilah, we are all with you holding your hand very tightly, my dear. Lighting a candle and thinking of you and praying for a miracle. Hopefully you can feel our love beaming in to you - you have touched our lives in so many ways and we are not ready to let you go.

I simply do not know what to say. I am stunned. Looking back at the pictures from such a short time ago, I thought things were going well.
Twilah, your friendship has meant so much to me. Your strength, courage and humor are such an inspiration. Joining with Diann and all, praying for a miracle. You and yours are always in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh precious Twilah, please know your thoughtfulness and kindness will never be forgotten and I join with my sisters in praying for peace and strength for you and your family.
Love,Pat

Add my prayers to the many going up for Twilah and her family.
May God hold them in the palm of his hand.

Sweet Twilah, you wrote this in Aug. 2007:
" I'm sitting here thinking about you. I hope you're feeling some relief. You know, if warm thoughts could heal you, make you feel better...you'd be feeling like a million bucks! "
This is the way I feel tonight (and was feeling all these months), my warm thoughts are for you... Melanie sent me a deliciously scented candle a few weeks ago, with 3 flames, and tonight I am lighting them not just for the lovely scent, but thinking of you, and Pat, and Marsha, who are such brave and beautiful women, our inspiration. I have my little piggy with me, the one you sent us, I am also posting this link to a music I listen to thinking of you, which I listened to a lot during chemo, for the peace it brings, the beauty of the voices... I am hoping that this link will unite us all, gathered once again to rally around you, sweetie, and your Phil and your beautiful children... Wishing so hard you are not in pain and that all your loved ones are with you. With all my heart... C.

Its funny that today I picked up the little piggy and held it a while. I only wish I could get to see you. My prayers are that you are free of pain. We are with you dearest Twilah. Its so hard to write when the tears are running down your face and word do not express my thoughts.
Love and blessings

I am so shocked and so very sad to hear this news. It is surreal. I awakened very early with Twink and Phil and all your family on my mind. I hope and pray for all of you, strength and peace at this very difficult time.
Twilah, you have touched so many of our lives with your lovely spirit. We all cherish our "little piggies". That is you, in the midst of your own pain and living the nightmare we all fear, you found time to send all of us a lovely personalized gift. We will all cherish it forever.
Catherine, thank you so much for the link. What beautiful music to blend all our spirits together as we virtually hold hands around Twink's bed. We can be there in spirit, feel our love and support.
Lovingly with a broken heart, Sammie Kay

I know I've been out of touch with y'all but I haven't been on this forum very much totally for awhile too.I am not up to date on PAT. I think it was so sweet of Twink to have sent y'all the little piggies!!! I was reading her very last post...how like her to inform us of what she was having done and what she was going through.
Dear Twink...God bless you dear sister...I hope you aren't in pain and are feeling surrounded with love by your family and friends. My world is brighter for having you beside me on this journey we have endured as bc sisters...

Just wanted to check in and get and give a hug. Like Sammie I woke up with all of you on my mind. I was telling the girls on No Surrender what a lifeline you all have been. One of the girls mentioned that she followed our cruise and what a great group we are. I know I sure feel that way.
Twink - You are so loved, respected and appreicated. I'm so proud to call you my friend.
Sending hugs, warm wishes, and thanks to you all.

This is such a sad time. Twilah has prepared her family as much as any of us could. Her daughter, Sarah called me a few nights ago and I was so proud of her strength and her love for her mother. Twilah has such a close relationship with her children and I believe that is why she has fought so hard these last few months.
Twilah----I love you

Oh no..I haven't signed on for a few days and Leah's post was the first one that came up. I have tears in my eyes as I catch up and write this.
Twilah, you were so strong for all of us when we were in treatments and we are sending you our strength now. I too picked up my piggy the other day and thought about not only Twilah but all of my friends here.
I am praying for Twilah as she continues her journey of life. And for her family that they have peace.
((((Hugs, Twilah)))))
Love

I am speechless.....how can this be? Twilah, I am stunned and sad beyond words. I treasure our friendship and I am praying for peaceful days for you.

Like Miss S, I followed right behind your group in the March Chemosabe Cruise. For some time it appeared I would be part of your group, starting chemo the end of Feb., so I started reading and kept keeping up with you all. Twink is a vibrant presence, as you all know. I have admired and respected her intelligence and wit throughout the past 2+ years.
My experience (sister, father) is that frequently some of the tenderest moments between patient and loved ones occur after toxic, debilitating, relentless treatment stops. I pray that Twilah and her family enjoy many good hours and days, even weeks or months - sharing love with this extraordinary woman.
To her dear friends here on the Feb. Chemo thread, I know that you are suffering, I share your feelings of powerlessness.

Lisa; Thanks for your post. I agree and my hope is the same for Twilah and her family...treasured memories shared...and as Marsha said...peaceful days.

Hello all.
Twilah passed away Saturday afternoon. She is at peace.
If anyone needs her home address, please PM me. The family is planning a small service for next week.

Oh, Leah... everything went so fast... another beautiful angel in peace, but it is of little comfort to me at this point. So unfair to have been dealt such an unlucky card. Exactly 2 years since we all met here. I cannot even dwell on the grief of Phil and the children, just "transplanted" in a new state, away from friends and relatives. And I feel so much for you, the little group who stayed with Twilah in Florida, had lunches with her and /or went to Dallas, and got to know her so much better than the rest of us did {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Leah, Melanie, Marsha, Hillary, Phyl}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Another March Chemosabe Cruise member dropping in to offer my deepest sympathies to all those who loved Twink. She really helped me out when I was dealing with a micromets problem similar to hers. She was one special lady!
Soar Twink soar.

I am speechless. I can't believe Twilah is not with us anymore. I hope her family finds comfort and peace knowing how much she loved them.
How I wish I could have been with you girls having such great fun! I feel like I missed getting to know such a wonderful person better.
My prayers and deepest sympathy are with Twilah's family and also with Leah, Melanie, Marsha, Hillary, Phyl....those who spent much time with Twilah.
Rest in peace Angel, Twink.

Marsha thank you so much for reposting those pictures. As soon as I saw them, I had a quote of Twink's pop into my head. Suffice to say it had to do with shoes & tequila. Your photos and Twinks quote brought a much needed smile to my face.
Godspeed Twilah.

Leah, what a heavy burden you have shouldered keeping us informed over the past few days. I know that it was not an easy one. Marsha, thank you for posting these photos to remind us of Twilah's beautiful smile. And I remember well the shoes and tequila quote. Alyson is right, our poor little boat has been sadly rocked and the only comfort we have is that Twilah is now at peace.
Dearest Twilah, you will be missed so much by so many. I regret I did not get to meet you in person, but here, in this special place, I was blessed to meet your soul. You have been an inspiration to all and you will never be forgotten.

I just have to tell you girls something....today I was in the CT Scanner and the little window has a light beam in a "window". There is a frosted part the forms a "T"....and I thought of Twilah and prayed for her. Do you think she was there with me?
I came home, got online and found out about her passing over.
Just wanted to tell you.

I have avoided logging on, fearing this would be the news. As if it wouldn't be true if it wasn't said. That is so silly.
I must say Twilah was a shinning star on our cruise. She was always there for all of us. I and we all will miss her so very much.
To Phil and Twilah's dear, dear children, I extend my heartfelt sympathy. I know you are all so proud of Twilah. She fought an awesome battle. She continued on when a lesser woman would have given up. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I believe that she is ever present in your lives. That beautiful Angel Twilah. I can just see her hovering over you all with her cute little smile and delightful sense of humor.
Thank you Leah for keeping us up to date. {{{{{{{{{{{{Leah}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
Thank you Marsha for posting the pictures. What a beautiful sight. {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Marsha}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
Love to all, Sammie Kay
