  • To death do us part

    I lost my sister in October of this year. She lived with cancer for 12 years. She had breast cancer, ovarian cancer, then it moved to her leg and finally to her abdomen. The most beautiful thing about our process is the love that was lavished on her from her family but most importantly her husband. He truly was committed to death do them part. Thanks
