The plants may be allowed to keep their blooms for a while. Lisa is so strongly in our hearts. I found the last gift she gave us last night and rememberd her bouncing through the front door with it in her hand. It was just before she heard the news about the cancer. Everytime I hear singing, Lisa comes to mind. Jana Putnam and Sherry Sachritz Hi there, spring is indecisive, but we see her coming to Memphis now at last.

Unfortunately, for me my friend and I were not in communication when she died, she had been diagnosed with Breast cancer a few years before but had been in remission after suffering through Chemo, Radiation and a double mastectomy at 35 she truly believed that she was a "Survivor" and in so many ways she was, unfortunately the cancer came back in her brain and she was taken way too soon and she will always be a beacon of light for me and I think of her everytime I pass the Survivor's Park on Perkins, she would have loved that.

Your friend sounds like a wonderful person. I'm lucky never to have lost anyone close to my age, although I did learn at my high school reunion that two members of my (small) class are dead... one died of a heart attack, one had some sort of congenital illness I've never known the details of that meant he was on crutches even in high school, and finally lost his battle to it. If you'll forgive me for being personal, I've noticed that you've been very focused on death and cancer and how to prevent cancer and the possibility you might die for some time now. Is this because your friend's illness brought it into your mind in a new way? Anyway, I wonder if sitting down with a friend and discussing things like what would happen to Tomas if anything happened to you might do more to put your mind at rest than worrying about deodorant. Sorry for being in your business, it's just an observation! Leanne, I’m sorry for your loss. Your friend sounds like a wonderful person.

My experience with losing a friend my age and as close as yours goes back years. My best friend all through school died at 24 of cancer in 1984. He was the first one who could say anything to me, and did often, no matter what, and we'd laugh about it an hour later. Through all these years gone by I've developed "as close as brothers" friendships with several others, none of which I can imagine not being a part of my life. I'm sorry for your loss.
