Re: NEDenise Has Died

Nora,

What more perfect place to share your fears and concerns than in this place where you are completely understood and cared for? Hopefully sharing those fears here can help to allay them somewhat. I agree with Laurel that your prognosis continues to look brighter as you travel down this path.

When those fears grab hold of you come here for venting and support and remember--

Do not let tomorrow's worries rob you of today's joy.

My best to you,
