... a wonderful example of her humor and appreciation of irony. She always had a way of making me laugh, both before and after her diagnosis. In addition she was always asking about troubles in my life while facing the worst of trouble in her own. What a wonderful person she was! The example I speak of is this email she sent to me in late June:

"I went to the brain tumor support group this past Wednesday, and the pen I brought disappeared. Before I left I grabbed a pen on the table because I like to keep one with me. On the drive home I noticed that the pen was an advertising freebie from a funeral home. Ironic…uh, yeah. But funny anyway." Tears are falling as I type this and remember her.
