Sad. My mom's friend Faith (well, she was also a friend of mine) was undergoing treatment for an abdominal cancer. She died on Tuesday. (My parents were out of town and didn't hear until they got back today).

They think the chemo probably reacted badly with an underlying heart problem she had.

I'm kind of sad and shocked right now, because she had been doing pretty well on the treatment. (And it's almost a year to the day that my friend Dorothy died). I think it will take a little while for this to sink in. It will be strange to go back and visit my parents and not see her around.

On the other hand, it was probably preferable to lingering in pain for a long time. I know her "goal" was to live the longest of all her sisters and she didn't quite make it (I think she was 88).

She was a quilter. I should probably finish the doggie quilt I was working on for Project Linus and donate it in her name. Maybe that would be something to do during the rest of my mid-fall break after my trip to Longview.
