Thank you Michelle. I will always feel the presence of Lyn and Linda here. They were part of the core group when I first began and they will continue to be so.

Thank you, Michele...you put into words exactly what I was thinking as I read of the passing of these two wonderful women...and in tribute to the many others who have also paved the road we are all on. It is so hard when people we love (even those we only "know" through the internet) pass to the next level of this 'life'. I, too, am grateful that Al will continue to be here with us-to share his wisdom. I hope that Lyn's family will do the same from time to time. Cancer is so hard...

Thanks, Michele, I needed that--I was just getting in a funk thinking I don't want to read any more bad news here, it's too hard and painful. But you're absolutely right we all need to stick together here more than ever and keep sharing our stories and research, etc. I am SO PROUD to know you!

Michele..You are so right!! We need eachother!!! I feel like I am part of such a big team..and that there is so much info available through all of you!! I sure feel a personal setback with every bit of bad news that goes through here though!!!! I realize that is all part of it...And I feel selfish when I get scared for myself...It's not always about me??????? We are all in this together!!!!
Love & Hugs to you all
Tammy

Michele thank you for the post and I agree.I don't post too often here but was very saddened at Linda's passing.I read all Lynn's posts and she came across as such a couragous lady,I was away last week on vacation and did'nt know she had passed away until I saw your post here tonight.I logged on to read another of her posts and to see how she was faring and I will miss her a lot as so many other's will.As an early dx member Linda and Lynn's posts never scared me but quite the opposite,they gave me encouragment and hope that as a her2 pos member if ever I get to stage iv(and we live with the fear of recurrance daily)I know from them and all of you that there is still a good life to be had for many years after dx
God bless you Lynn,I'll miss you
Tricia
