lost a sister
My Step-Sister passed away this morning from Ovarian Cancer. It is a sad story of a young lady who at 35 got mixed up in drugs and could never get straightened out despite years of rehab, thousands of dollars and a multitude of prayers. She was dx with Ovarian about a year after my breast cancer dx. Surgery, chemo and radiation, but she was stage III at dx. Even Cancer didn't end her drug use.
She was a very sweet girl, and it is a shame that she wasted her life on drugs.
Please pray for my step-mother. She lost her only daughter today, and her mother, who is 98, is not long for this world.
