Oh Peggy!! You are such a sweetheart!! What a FABULOUS tribute to Cathy!! I lost one of my closest friends, Robby to prostate cancer 6 1/2 years ago. Yesterday, April 20th would have been his 38th birthday. I still miss him horribly and know the pain Cancer causes and the empty feeling it leaves behind. I'm not surprised by your FABULOUS idea....you have a heart of GOLD and a CREATIVE spirit!!
Hi Peggy,
You are such a fine day -- what a worthy cause! Your dear late friend is surely smiling right now...
Congrats on your milestone, too -- so many happy posts! Thanks for making us all happy by sharing your joy of life and art.
Hugs,
Birgit
my mom lived with cancer for a long time-hers started when she was 68. she had five different primary cancers, and she overcame all of them: we learned to live with the fear and "not knowing" with her. it can take so much--but it can give us the chance to learn to live in the moment, as well. you do your friend a beautiful honor to celebrate her this way.

Blessings and joy to you.
