Can't believe it:(
I just logged on and like everyone else am so shocked to see this awful news. I'm just glad Lolly did'nt suffer in the end and it was quick and peaceful.
We'll miss her a great deal and my sincere condolence's to all her family.

I haven't replied until now, because I could not think what to say. Lolly was such a constant, reassuring presence here. Her loss is unfathomable. My sincerest condolences to her family. She is deeply missed.
Hopeful

I have been away for a week, and never expected to log on to find such devastating news. I too had no idea the severity of Lolly's situation.
Lolly offered great advice and support to me, especially during a time when I was concerned about nodes. She was certainly one of the most positive, selfless people that I have encountered.
This just seems so sudden---surreal----terribly sad. My prayers are with her family, and I thank Bo and Annelise for sharing with us.

Bo and Anneliese,
I am so sorry and sad for the loss of your mom. I feel like I knew her just by reading her posts all these years. She was an amazing person, and she will be missed.
My deepest sympathy. I will pray for Lolly and for all of you.
Stephen, thank you for letting us know about Lolly.

I was shocked to read of Lolly passing...I haven't been able to get on here much lately, so I was not prepared for this. It seems like we are losing too many members lately - or is it just me. Enough already....I hope the researchers come up with something better soon for us all. Please convey my condolences to the family.

I am just reading this, and this has got me so upset. Lolly was such a wonderful support on this group and such a lovely lady with a fighting spirit. Last post I had read from her, she seemed to doing as well as possible. That's what I hate so much about this disease, it makes no sense. I am so sad now...sherryg683
