Thank you Angela for sharing Patti with me.
My best friend passed away from brain cancer on March 25, 2011. For 4 short months (from diagnosis to her passing) I dedicated my time and love to her care.
Patti, I honor and respect you for your commitment to your husband. How beautiful, thank you for sharing your touching story.
Hugs & Love

I wanted to reach out to you and acknowledge the one year anniversary since your friend passing from brain cancer. I will be participating in the brain cancer walk in DC on May 6 and I will be sure to think of you during that time. It is a walk to honor the memories of those who have passed and all those affected by brain cancer.
Thanks for your kind words and I hope you have had a chance to read out story.
