Shelia, I am so sorry to hear the news about your friend. As difficult as this is for all involved...its nice that she has someone like you that she is close to that truly understands what she is going through. As we know support is so important at a time like this. It sure sounds like she has been through alot already...thank goodness you can be there for her. Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on. She is really blessed to have you in her life.

I'm sending you both a big hug...and please let your friend know you will both me in my thoughts and prayers.
