Frankly, it was brought home to me recently when I spoke to SM and asked if she knew anything about a former BE poster, who was on FB and would message me to see how my health was. She had dropped off the face of the earth and hadn't answered a msg I sent on FB. SM did some detective work and found out she had passed away, DAMN Cancer, the club nobody wants to belong to. .....

Yes, Cindy, I was thinking of Sophia. Often wonder how she is doing. She was one of the two cancer ladies we did something for back in the olden days. Songbird is alive and on FB.

Julie passed away in March. She was very private with her diagnosis and not many people were aware of her illness. She was a lovely lady. I'm sure her family, especially her 2 sons are heartbroken from their loss.

RIP Julie x
