Thank you, everyone, for your kind words and good wishes. It is a very sad situation. My friend is someone who has a giving heart and a generous spirit. She has always been good with words, doing lots of writing, and has had a lovely singing voice which I often heard at church. She said she has been putting up stories on Caring Bridge because she doesn't want to dwell on her health. I thought the fabrics in the quilt mirrored her personality and attitude.
