Remembering Linda (and Al from Canada)
I have been thinking about Al from Canada and when I touched base with him he shared that today is exactly one year since his beloved Linda has passed. I just wanted to share this important anniversary with our Her2 family, she was such a beautiful and well loved woman. The hours that Al spent researching treatments for Linda, he also so kindly shared with the rest of us. Thank you Al for your generous sharing, peace be with you and may Linda continue to be blessed with love for her cherished memories.
When his life calms down a bit, Al says he will be back in touch.

Thank you for reminding us of Linda. I too fondly remember Al's devotion. It is nice to remember her on this day. I hope that she is in a much better place.

God's multitude of blessings to Al and all the other Als who stand strong with their lady as she battles with all her might! Nothing blesses me more than seeing the love demonstrated through these hard times. Hats off to you Al and please be good to yourself just as you were to Linda who dances with heavenly angels now! ma

Kim,
Thank you for reminding us of this first year of Linda's passing.
I have often thought of her and Al this past year.
I hope that Al will visit with us and in the meantime I hope
he is able to enjoy some peace - this had to be a very difficult
year for him. He is such a good man and he and Linda will
always remain in my prayers.
Jean
