The Beast Strikes Again

Melanoma claimed yet another precious life today in the 'ville. She was only 45, and had so much life left to live. As usual, the disease was unyielding, cruel, evil, unpredictable and painful. Tonight I am thankful that she has conquered the beast here on earth, and it can never hurt her again. Her suffering is over, yet her loved ones are left to mourn her loss.

Not a day goes by that I don't pray for all those who are impacted by melanoma, either as a patient, loved one, caregiver...and each day I beg the Great Physician for a cure for all cancers. Too much sadness, too much pain and suffering, too many lives lost to melanoma, too many widowed spouses and orphaned children, too many lost friends.

Rest in peace Linda, I enjoyed knowing you. And many blessings upon your family and friends who walked this journey with you.
