So sad. She fell ill three weeks ago and died two days after her cancer diagnosis. She sounds like a wonderful person and was quite accomplished. Only 46!

That’s so sad. Can’t imagine how her children and family are coping.
Oh wow. Very sad. She sounds like a remarkable woman.
Read this news last night. So terribly tragic.
I read that and was saddened. Puzzled too, that st her age, she died so quickly and suddenly.
That is so sad.
Omigosh I hadn’t heard. How awful!
So sad! Did I hear correctly? She volunteered at the Twin Towers 9/11 site? Truth or rumor? (Cancer connection)
@Midwest67 from her obituary:
How terribly sad.
Wow! My Dad had a NET cancer, he lived for several years after Dx of the untreatable cancer, it is often slow growing. It was probably lurking for years causing minor mysterious symptoms.
What a vivid obituary for an extraordinary woman.
I’m assuming that she had a slow-growing cancer that eventually got big enough to block something vital. How sad for her family and those who loved her.
