When I was growing up I had a best friend. As it happens many times 'best friends' sometimes grow apart and lose contact over the years. I had a best friend many years ago that I lost contact with. I saw her again a few couple of years ago when my father died. Shortly after, her son was diagnosed with cancer. He was only a year older than my youngest daughter. I kept up with his mighty fight to beat it. I thought often of her helpless agony.
My brother came by and told me that Josh had lost the battle yesterday. It is a tragic thing that simply can't summed up in a few words. My heart and prayers are with his mother, Beth, and his young family.
This is my journey through life. Talking about genealogy, family, creating and recording my personal history, wholeness, and all the things that come in life.

Sheri, how terribly sad and how devastated his family must be. My thoughts are with you all.
Sheri - My thoughts and prayers are with you and his family.
Cancer is a terrible thief. It steals young and old. It steals family and future.
I pray for an end to cancer in my lifetime.

Thank you both for responding. I think every mother worst fear is to outlive her child.
I am sure Beth appreciates all the thoughts and prayers.
Thank you.
