Christine, Danielle and Deborah,

Even when I knew Joe was not doing too well, this news comes as a hard shock to me. Joe was definetly our leader not just for the Her2 group, he was a real motivator to work on the Latinas con Cancer de Seno group in which we are still working hard. Both you Christine and Joe have marked my life for ever, you made me see beyond breast cancer, you both show me a world of companionship, love and understanding with and for other 'sisters' with breast cancer. I am sad, very sad, but I am sure he will be watching over us. God bless you girls and I send you a hug with all my love from this part of the world.
