For my friend Cory


Today I lost a friend. She was 31 with 2 young boys. She fought 3 1/2 long years to beat this cancer. I know I tend to be preachy about my own life experience....take your folic acid, but now my advice is this...get a mammogram. Cory's OBGYN told her it was a clogged milk duct from nursing, they put her off. Not long after, she was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. A double masectomy and hysterectomy soon followed, but the cancer was too agressive in her young body. Remember to keep this family in your prayers, her husband Brian, son's Collin and Dylan, and the rest of her amazing family who moved in, stood by her side and cared and fought for her just as she did.
Here is a beautiful pic of Cory from our college days in the dance ensemble. She was such a light, always positive and happy. Cory, we will miss more than you will ever know.
