My stepbrothers daughter, Elizabeth, lost her battle with Ovarian Cancer this weekend. She was only 17. She was Elizabeth, Beth, and recently Lizzy, but her daddy called her Boo. I can only imagine Joe's heartbreak, but I know it's massive. One small, bright spot is Make-A-Wish came through for her this week. Matt Shadow, from the band Avenged Sevenfold, traveled with his wife to see her. With some adjustments of her meds, she was able to be awake and enjoy having one of her dreams come true. It was a special time for her and her family. The love and compassion Matt and his wife showed even made Elizabeth's grandma a fan. Make-A-Wish Foundation is amazing and so appreciated.
Losing my mom to Ovarian Cancer was hard, but losing a child... there are no words. I'm weary of cancer. I'm especially weary of hearing about children being taken by this insidious disease. It's time for it to stop... time for a cure... before another child is taken far too soon.
Please whisper a prayer for the family... they will miss her so... even knowing she is now safe and loved, in the arms of our Heavenly Father...

I am so very sorry. Keeping all in my prayers. Life is just so very hard sometimes. (((hugs)))
I am so very sorry for your family's loss. How awful for someone so young especially. I hope that her Make-a-Wish visit brought her some joy. I will be keeping the family in my prayers.
