Iron Donkey 38643       , Wisconsin |  Subject: My sister passed away ...Good morning, BT COJ. For the past few months I kept in touch with my sister who was dying from some rare form of cancer, and was also diagnosed with having some node(s) on her brain. I never probed as to the exact name of the cancer, but will find out sometime next week Sunday when I attend the wake. I found out about her condition back in June regarding how long the issue was going on and what was being done. The cancer was identified as "not curable" but was supposedly "manageable". Well, it was "manageable" for a few weeks and then became more aggressive. Despite what was going on inside her, she retained a fantastic sense of humor and was still trying to laugh and make jokes until near the end. She showed me strength. She showed me courage. She showed me how wrong I was thinking that I was strong. The cancer took my sister away this past Fri., Oct. 18, 2013, sometime before 4 a.m. I know I lost a part of my life that I won't get back and will miss her immensely. In honor of my sister, Tina, please do me a favor and remember to tell your family you love them more than anything in the world, give your friends an extra smile and hug, and do something fun for yourself. Thanks, BT, for being there when I needed you. And to make it official - CANCER EFFIN' SUCKS!
