I need a hug!!!

My friend Jeanette passed away last night after a short battle with pancreatic cancer. She found out 3.5 weeks ago when she went to the hospital with shortness of breath. She thought she had broncitis that was turning into peumonia. When they did the x-ray they found out she was eaten up with lung cancer. Later tests revealed it started in the pancreas and had spread to all major organs. By the time they found it she was already in stage 4 pancreatic cancer. If there is one lesson to be learned here....Make sure you see your Dr for regular check-ups. Jeanette never went to the Dr. She was terrible about that. Anyway, I am beside myself here and I need a hug! Tonya

Oh my friend. I am sending (Hugs & Prayers). If you need anything, or just some company I will be there for you. I can come down anytime, I will just tell Steve I have a friend in need and he has to keep Gunnar. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. Call me if you need to talk or just someone to listen. Love, Theresa

TONYA: SORRY TO HEAR OF THE LOST OF YOUR DEAR FRIEND AND I PRAY FOR YOU AND HER FAMILY. I AGREE 100% ABOUT REGULAR CHECK UPS. HOPE YOU WILL ABLE TO COME ON SATURDAY AND EACH AND EVERYONE WILL GIVE YOU A HUG THEN. MARY

(((((((Tonya)))))))))) I know the loss is hard but thank God she didn't have to suffer for years and years with this horrible disease. I lost both of my parents last year due to cancer and my Dad had lung cancer....I watched him suffer for 7 years before he took his last breath. I will pray that peace will wash over you and her family by letting the good memories of her outway this tragedy. All the best... Shree

Tonya, My best friend died in 1967 when we 19 years old. She had a heart problem and didn't know it. When the doctor's found it, they said she would probably live 2 years , she lived 2 weeks . It was the most awful experence of my life. But since then I have found out that death is not the worst thing , sometimes it's the best. I have had 5 uncles , 2 aunts and my dad all die with cancer . It is a horrible way to die. Your friend is blessed that she didn't have to suffer so long after she found out she had it. My prayers will be with you, I still miss my friend after all these years. God bless you, Judy

Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend Tonya! Keep your head up for the support of the family! Deana

((((((HUGE HUG))))))) Well just think she is not suffering and is in a better place now ...Dont cry over her but think about all the wonderful things she did and how she touched your life in so many ways that she probley did not even know !!! Laura

Tonya, I am so sorry to hear about your friend! My thoughts and prayers are with you and her family! Keep your chin up and know that she would not want you to be sad. Remember the good times if you can. I know that is hard but try your best to!! Hugs!! Ginger

I am so sorry to hear about your friend. Please know that you are in my prayers.

(((Tonya))). I'm so sorry, hon. Words aren't good enough at times like this I expect. I just hope it helps to know we all really do "care". Allow yourself some time to grieve. You'll come to terms with it all and savor all the good memories as well. The most comfort should be that she knew you loved her with all your heart. You're in my prayers.
