So So Sorry
Oh Dear Tracy,
Words can not express the sadness I and the others feel for your loss. Such a sad, sad day for you.
May God hold you close and give you His Peace,
Mary Jo

Dear Tracy,
We are all very sorry for your loss. We all just need to tell our loved ones that we love them because we just don't know what the future holds. I pray that you will find comfort in this time of great loss. I can't even imagine.

Tracy,
This had to be such a shock. I know when we are dx with cancer we think of ourselves passing but not our family first. I'm so sorry. You are really going to have to hold strong to your faith to get you through this one. Lean hard on God now, he is there.

Sincere sympathy
Dear Tracy -
Have not seen you here lately, so I hope you were having a great summer with your family and feeling well.
This disease teaches us to make the most of each and every day, and I think you are one who did that.
Of course you are numb, no one expects such a thing. Be angry, sad and whatever else you feel and come here and vent.
This is a stressor of all stressors.
It will be hard to find comfort for quite a while, but I pray peace will come.

Oh, Tracy
I am SO sorry Tracy. There are no words. Be numb and then angry and sad and feel it all and let others hold you. And know that we are here.

Lots of love to you
Hi Tracy!
I know that this disease seems like it should be enough sorrow for a lifetime! I am so sorry that you have had such a terrible blow to add to the difficulty you already have. I am praying that God will wrap you in a blanket of his love. If there is anything we can do, just send a note.
Love to you, Kathy
