Re: update I hate to give (with a little more positive spin)

Knowing how difficult it is for those of us on the Her2 board to let Chris go, it must be so awful for her family. I never knew anyone who had her priorities so in order, her love for her family so strong, her joy and appreciation for the job she had, and the committed fight against the killer, cancer. Chris was an amazing human being. The warriors upstairs are probably still cheering to have her with them. Thanks for being you, Chris. Prayers to family and friends.
