Rhonda, I don't think you were rude at all and I am sure what you said was done with the best of intentions.
Her reaction had more to do with the issues she is struggling with inside herself. Has nothing to do with you. Try not to take it personally.

When I was going thru chemo, I had an aquaintence at the gym who had told me before that her mother was dealing with cancer. One day i asked her how her mother was doing in regards to her cancer and she gave me this wierd glare and basically told me it was none of my business and (I forgot what her exact words were) and I should NOT have asked her. She said her mother does not like to disclose to her any information. She made me feel like an intruder.
Didn't bother me a whole lot. I just never realized she was so wierd.
