Sad News

My brother’s mother-in-law, Lucy, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday. She had been in the hospital since July 1st and was undergoing inpatient chemotherapy for stomach cancer. Since she had been a cancer survivor in the past, everyone assumed and hoped that she would pull through again and return home. Apparently, the cancer had already spread, though, and nothing else could be done. Along with Lucy's family, my own mom misses her terribly, too. They were neighbors for over 60 years and, if they weren’t shopping or going out to eat together, they were talking to each other on the phone. Such sad news. Wish it weren’t true.
