| Sheila,
 I am so sorry to hear about your friend.  She sounds very special and you are very lucky to have someone like her in your life.  She is very blessed to have you as well.  I can't imagine what it would feel like to see someone that close to me suffer so-  She is definitely in my prayers tonight-that she will respond to some sort of treatment, be sent many angels from above (she already has you), and that she will not suffer.  You are in my prayers as well- that you are comforted in this sad and stressful time, that you share precious moments with your lifelong friend, and that you are given strength to stand tall.
 
 Love, Kelly
