This morning I had a overwhelming thought of my new friends Joanne and Bill. I sent Bill a text saying that I was thinking of them and then went to my computer to watch a video compilation of her life. I got emotional during the video but had an overwhelming feeling that it was something you would see at a funeral. Joanne and Bill are distant step family that I have never met, however they have become close to my heart over the last 2 weeks as they have called me about my treatment and worked with Dr Cola over the last week trying to save Joanne. She has been battling breast cancer for the last 2 years and was at the very end. Today after I got off the computer I got a call that she had passed. Ironic that God had put them on my heart this morning. I called Bill and he tearfully answered the phone and we talked through the process and the pain. He thanked me for all of my help and I apologized that we didn’t get different results. He and I had talked in detail about it being God decision whether she would get better or not and he felt at peace but very sad. I also told him that his sons were welcome to call anytime if they needed to. I would love to go out there for the service even though I have never met the family, but I don’t think that makes much sense financially right now. Prayers and Love for their family. The power that comes behind the pain is incredible. We have the ability to change and touch others lives.

Crystal, As i sit back and watch the jurney you are going through, i cant tell you how proud and impressed i am at you. You are proof of how strong a young woman can be. I believe you will whip this awful road block that has been put in front of you. My father recieved notice that his test came back positive in early April and that they had caught it in plenty of time. We lost my dad just 5 short weels later, from the treatment. He was not healthy and did’nt take care of himself. I am still real bitter and have’nt even really grieved as of yet. When i read your posts it just makes me so proud of your strenth. Please stay strong and fight this shit and i know deep in my heart you will prevail. Or prayers are with you over the holidays and for many more to come. Love Uncle Vince.
Hi Crystal
I just read this today & wanted to write you. It has been one of the hardest things I have ever been through losing her. She was an amazing women & I just knew god was going to let her live. I guess he just loved her even more than we did & we all know we cannot change his will. As I read through all of your journey, I just keep thinking what an amazing & courageous women you are! I do believe the good lord has blessed you in so many ways so that you can help others like you said. You are a great inspiration & all of your hard efforts are greatly apprecited!!
I have definatly done alot of thinking about changing my diet for the better & hope to encourage others.
God Bless you & thanks so much for everything! I will definately stay in touch. Keep fighting girl!
