Jen, your mother put up a heroic fight against a vicious enemy. Her bravery and spunk were traits to be admired. I know what it feels like to face that unknown thing that only the affected can look in the eye. Thank God, who is forever kind and loving, for bringing her through it with those precious gifts of faith, hope and love. I pray that you and your family will continue forward bearing those same gifts.
