oh no!
I haven't visited here for quite awhile, been so busy with "things" and this is just the last thing I would expect to see, not Esther!

Please let her know she is in my prayers!

Love, Donna

I didn't join this group until January, and thus I never got to know Esther. I did go back and read some of her posts and she sounds like such an amazing, YOUNG woman. This news about her saddens me greatly.

Ruth, I agree with you 100% . . . . . Cancer sucks.

I am so sorry to hear the latest news about Esther. I am sending a big hug to her via the internet and I said a prayer for her today.
