Post by ShirleyThank you so much Darrel...
When you hear from her tell her Shirley thinks of her often and that I
am doing fine considering all of the health issues of the first of the
year. In another 2 months I will be a cancer survivor of 6 months and
having blood clots in my legs that traveled to my lungs. They did not
expect this old girl to survive the night.
alt.cajun sure is dead without Alice here.
Just returned (North Carolina, drove out at 3.5 am this morning from
Mars Hill) from honoring my uncles passing from lung cancer caused by
asbestos. This has been his work of the past decade:

We'll bury another family friend Wednesday from cancer, she found out
less than 6 months ago that it was throughout her body and died this
afternoon. One last week who had been diagnosed with stomach cancer and
given 6 weeks to live - 10 years ago, he was 91. Another last week who
was given 2 months after diagnosis of a brain tumor, he died 2 days
later...
Its hard to try and hold on to those that suffer from it. My uncle got
over a year and a half, they gave him just a few months...
One day at a time!!!
