They started chemo and radiation to shrink it, but her frail little body just couldn't take it. All her life she was a bigger lady, but she was down to about 80 lbs! So sad, especially for my husband. They were just 10 months apart and very close. Like twins!
I'm so sorry for your family's loss. My brother and I are 10.5 months apart and can't imagine what your husband is going through.

I am so sorry to hear this sad news. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. I hate that C word. It's taken all of my family. Someday...someday....may there be a cure. ((((((Hugs))))))

Here's the block I made for GramE tonight. It's "Mississippi". I literally had just a few threads left of your focus fabric.

I am so sorry for your loss SewBiz. Have a glass or 2 of wine and remember her laughter and the joy she brought to your family.

sewbizgirl, sending loving thoughts to you and your hubby. Just try and remember she is in a much better place and out of earthly pain. So sorry for your loss!
Joan it will be just fine, I'll sew those corners right down. Love the look of the block, thank you!

So sorry for the loss your family has suffered. 60 is young these days. Will be praying for your family as you journey through these coming days.
