    I am so sad to hear about our Bluebird (fiercebird).  My prayer's and thoughts go out to her, and her family.  She was so brave and kind.  I will miss her.

    Her signature said,"I rest in God's grace and I am free." May it be so, dear Kristine.

    Where is the emoticon for tears?  So very sad about Kristine, but I am very thankful that Sharon was connected and could let us know.

    Such sad news about Kristine -- such a random crappy disease.  I will miss the beauty of her spirit that shone through brightly here.

    The lesson of Bible study class today focused on comfort a woman who considered her cancer a gift felt. It was a challenge for me. Being a survivor is a gift, but the cancer is a thief that steals too many and too much from us.

    "When I feel fear, I go where the wood duck rests his beauty on the water and the heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not live with grief. Above me stars are waiting with their light. I rest in God’s grace and am free."

    I have no better words.....I will take a piece of her with me everytime I am in the mountains.......I am so sad to lose her.....prayers to her family.

    I echo BosomBuddies question. What happened? I remember her from before but I lost touch with all of you when I was going through chemo and rads.

    RHG.....she was dx'd with brain mets several months ago, had surgery and cranial rads. Things seemed to be improving, then more brain mets were discovered, along with suspicious lung spots, I believe. 

    I glad things are going well with you, and that you have re-connected to us. Hugs....

    Bailey, what a great idea, just what we need. Candles and posts will have to do.

    She was so wry ...she posted not long ago on the insomniacs page that she would throw in the towel but then there would just be more laundry. Happy

    We were pm'ing about 10 days ago and she wished my parents continued strength  and that Thing 1 and Thing 2 would continue to grow and spread their wings. 

    She was kind. 

    I keep thinking of the picture of her in the kayak a few weeks ago. So happy she was able to do that.

    Plenty of tears for me today. For sure, there is anger at this evil disease.

    oh yeah Bosum Blues, you aren't alone....I've been all over emotional spectrum the last few hours.

    What I'm angry about is that this mess comes back after someone has fought so hard. I went back and found the kayak photo. She looked so full of life. From reading some of your posts it seems like she touched many lives. I guess that is all someone can ask to do... positively touch the lives of others. 

    Would it be too insensitive of me to ask her age and age of her children? 

    My heart breaks for them all.
