Thank you, all, and special hugs to those of you who have also lost your mothers.

And Marcia and Chelee, I'm really sorry your moms died while your were in bc treatment, too.

My Condolences

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I'm glad our mothers got to meet and I met you during the San Diego brunches that Christine set up. I know what you mean about not going to the cancer center anymore but I'm sure you will find some fun hobbies as I did.
