Sister Sue and I are heading to Longmont, Co tomorrow morning, early.

Our sister Jo lost her 17 year battle with cancer Sunday evening.

I have had a lot on my mind these last two months. I've come to the board and surfed and read but just did not feel up to responding to post. I want everyone to know that some of the posts helped to lighten my heart, other stirred memories that brought on tears.

Her lifelong friend, Millie grew up in the same little Kansas town as the Calico girls, sent out such a loving tribute - said God must have needed someone to tend his flower garden. Jo was an artist and a gardener, her home looked like something out of Better Homes and Garden. The last few years were not easy for her, FINALLY leaving an abusive marriage, giving up her beautiful home and moving to an apartment.

She fought till the very end, through seventeen years she lost both breasts, had hip joints replaced, tumors removed from spine, but when the cancer entered her brain, she could fight no longer. I know she is finally out of the horrible pain she has endured so I take comfort in that, but I will miss her.

I send love to all of you, jayhawker. I am so sorry.

How very sad for you. Try to take comfort from knowing she is no longer in pain. You're in my prayers

Prayers and condolences. What a brave, tough battle. From the sound of it, Heaven will be even more beautiful with her gardening skills to help out.

Okay, first I need to wipe the tears from my eyes....

I am so very sorry for your loss. The words seem terribly inadequate.

Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Think of your sister everytime you see a beautiful garden.

Anita,

This is so sad. Hugs to you and all.

Tom

So sorry to hear of your loss. My prayers and condolences to your family.
