This one will be short. Mom passed away on the morning of October 13, 2008. She died as a result of major complications from metastatic breast cancer. Her services will be on Saturday, October 18, 2008 at 1pm at the Gardens Funeral Home. She did everything she was asked to do, even if she was scared to do it and they couldn't help her. Ladies, if anything let this be an example that YOU need to keep up on preventative measures the BEST way you can. DON'T put it off for anyone....ever. Do it on time, every time. She said that if she beat this cancer, she wanted to help people. And even though I am angry right now, one way I can help is to get these messages out. She told me a few weeks ago "Don't ever let yourself get out of shape and ALWAYS take time for yourself."
Pretty good advice I would say.
Now she is in a better place...sounds cliche but true.
I want to give a HUGE thanks to Kris for helping me so much through this time. I really believe that I could not do it without him there to ground me and hug me when I need it. He took time off to be with me yesterday and I truely appreciate him. Love you babe!

I am so sorry for your loss. Karen was such a wonderful person. Thank you for letting me stay with her Thursday night. Karen being the first to tell me "Happy Birthday" Friday morning will be special to me forever and the most wonderful gift I will ever receive.
Bless your sweet heart.
I love you all!

Emily- Everyone has said it before me but I am so sorry for your loss. I cant even imagine... You are a VERY strong woman and you have a lot of people who are there for you. Keep your chin up and call Jen and I for that girls nite in with a (little wine)whenever you need it!
