    ((HUGS)) to all. I didn't know Linda, but will join you at the bonfire.  I'm sure you all have stories to tell about her.

    Cancer sucks.

    I am at the bonfire and have a few things to talk about that Linda and I shared............in PM's she told me of her life and her career............she told me she was an ER Doctor........she was a brilliant woman, and so compassionate............she had a long medical background, and had just gotten a very good job when she was diagnosed with cancer..............she never let anyone know her background........she just wanted to be treated like one of the girls..........and not "The Doctor"...........we became very close and I use to call her Girlie................and she told me.....that is what her Mother would call her..........

    Just a few things I remember.......we had many PM's.....she was a compassionate loving person, 'and I will miss her greatly.............rest in peace my dear friend..............

    Thanks for sharing that Ducky. 

    It's so wonderful that she trusted you with that information and you had that special bond.

    She was always so loving and compassionate.

    I never heard her say a bad word about anyone.

    I love that she did things on her own terms.

    There is so much to learn about how to live your life with grace within her posts.

    I'm honored I got to know her from the Bonfire.

    I'm new to Bonefire, but knew about it from a few of you.. I lost my dear MIL this week too. I made a picture for a memorial and I thought it would be something Linda liked - She has seen my pictures and commented on them in the past.  I knew her from the LE topics.. She was always very helpful.. Here is the PIcture:

    I have the same tee shirt. FK sent it to me. That poster really got at me especially as a friend has just been dx with mets after 11 years.

    I hate October. I hate cancer. I have a sister who had bowel cancer, a brother with prostrate cancer and a 19 year old great nephew with None Hodgkins and that's just a start why is BC so pink and pretty and what about other cancers.

    I am mad.

    I feel the people that start something are truly trying to help, BUT and a big BUT - some business person decides - hey we can make money this way and it takes a left turn off the REAL Original plan.....
