Dear Tony and Family, Having just lost my own mother to cancer in February, my heart is extremely heavy for you. Seeing our loved ones suffer and endure the horrific effects of having cancer breaks our hearts. My mom and Cheryl used to chat and compare their stories and they were good "strength" for each other. I know my mom always was so concerned about Cheryl's progress, despite being sick with cancer too. Now they are both at peace and no longer suffering. My deepest condolences to the entire family. It's going to be a long road, but you will be surprised at the outpour of support from your family and friends. They will give you the guidance you need to get though this very difficult and sad time. Tony, I know you took wonderful care of Cheryl and know how much she meant to you. My thoughts will be with you as you embark on the days ahead. My prayers to all of you during your time of sorrow. Sincerely, Joann Slack-Hassan
