Oh, Maureen, I am so sorry - cancer SUCKS and just seems ever more prevalent these days...35 is much too young. Snuggle your kiddos today and relax, I am thining of you!

So sorry. Too young to leave this world! I'm sure you will continue on her legacy of smiling and laughter. Thinking about you!

Oh no, no, no! This is horrible. And cancer does suck. :-( You will both be in my thoughts and heart.

Maureen, I'm so sorry. I lost one of my best friends this year...only 40 with 3 little kids. She had a little heart condition...nothing she was supposed to just DIE from in one second while walking through the parking lot to watch a track meet. I was devastated, just like you are. It will be a hard year. I miss her SO much and really really struggle with it all. It's so unfair isn't it? I find myself wanting to call her everyday and then remembering. I can only imagine what her husband and children are going through.
If you ever need to talk, email me...
She was beautiful, a great friend I'm sure, and I'm so sorry for your loss.

I am trying to hold back tears and I just 'met' you... I am sorry! Feeling your pain and wishing you peace and comfort. My mom died at an early age from cancer. I hate it too! Bless your heart!
