Some of you know where I've been lately.

My dear and beautiful friend "Dr. Debbie" died this morning at 3:12 am.

She was a beautiful, brilliant physician who had been diagnosed with Stage 4b Inflammatory Metastatic Breast Cancer in March of last year. In July of last year, she married the love of her life, her Jamie.

I was able to fly home from Quebec on Sunday night, once Jamie called to tell me she'd made the decision to stop fighting, and have been blessed and honoured to be with her and her special family at the hospital since then. Her Jamie was holding one hand when she died, I was holding the other.

Please say a prayer for Jamie, for her wonderful family, and for all the families you know who are coping with this unpredictable disease.

I am so sorry to hear this... she was a true blessing (a picture says a thousand words)! My daddy lost his battle with pancreatic and liver cancer 10 yrs ago yesterday... it was a very sad day for all of us... one never forgets no matter how many years go by.

I will pray that her friends and family find peace in their hearts by keeping her memory alive!

God Bless you!

My thoughts are with you- I have a friend that is 35 and was just told this is what she has- had surgery, now chemo and radiation so sick.
Sounds like your friend had a wonderful life with her Jamie-just too short. Her memories will live on with you and her family.
Take care-
