What I would love to share is that your Mother rescued me from the evils of my husband's horrific breast cancer journey. Lolly was one of the first to respond to my desperate cries for help, love and support. I found her advice and knowledge helpful in our most vulnerable beginning, I respected her opinions, I valued her loving support. My Angel Lolly provided us hope and inspiration when we felt there was none. This fighter allowed us to better understand what was happening to him and taught us how to fight it. She was always so supportful to us all here and was such an inspiration to all. The wonderful thing about this group is that Mom will continue to inspire us for a lifetime. Her words are etched in the nucleus of this site and so are the other Warriors who have earned their wings. She is active in my mind, she lives in my heart and I continue to feel her magic.

I went to a breast cancer survivor benefit last year and made a beautiful t-shirt. On the front of this shirt was a picture of my husband and above was the words....Still Fighting. Adorned on the back was written Remembered....and I smiled as I cried ironing all of the names of my Angels. I proudly wore Mom's name on my back for all of the thousands of people to see....For them to know how many Angels have touched my heart. Yes Sweetheart, I was so proud of her and always will be; not just experiencing her breast cancer journey along with her, but especially for the person she was and how she let us share ours. We got to share our journeys together and we were never alone, she saw to that no matter what she had on her plate.

These names on my back I still wear proudly as I tribute their honor and the very special place they hold in my life and heart forever. I still feel the loss of my friend, she was an energy in my life and I still feel her power. If I get sad I will grab the shirt and sit down to read her posts. She had an energy, a magic about her and I feel like such a better person, a better fighter because I got to love this most amazing person. So My Dear, I cannot say enough about the bond Ed and I shared with Mom. To this day I give thanks for being able to share that time knowing such a courageous Warrior...for many years to come to. Her positive and happy demeanor still lives in my heart, I still see her smile.

Thanks for allowing us to speak outloud since it looks like we all needed this. It is nice to see this tribute to a woman I will never get over not speaking to anymore. (well, I still talk to her as I give thanks and I always give her a smile too....Ssshhhh, our secret)>>Believe51~MarieG
