We've been pals for over 30 years and gotten into all types of trouble together.
His younger sister was the "angel" of the family and never drank, smoked etc.
She was diagnosed with throat cancer less than a year ago and had multiple surgeries that removed most of her tongue and much of the surrounding tissue. She also endured many rounds of targeted chemo.
She has been on a feeding tube for 3+ months and was down to 70 lbs.
She died after 4 days in the hospital fighting pneumonia.
The tumor (grape fruit sized) was pushing on her esophagus while she was slowly drowning in fluid build-up in her lungs.
She leaves behind her husband Tony and 2 little boys 2 & 4.
Not sure how I will remain composed when I see those little guys at their Mom's funeral. (closed casket) :sadangel:
Scott
Update:
They did an open casket and the 2 boys stayed with a family member during.
Really a tough day for the family. She was only 41 and her oldest sons birthday party was 2 days ago just after his Mom passed. :sadangel:
Took a pic of one of her photos from her wedding day with her parents and Tony.
