I was a pall-bearer at the funeral of a friend of mine today. I worked with her for several years in ER, She was taken by Ovarian Cancer, that appeared 20+ years after her ovaries were taken. She was 57, graduated High School the same year as me. The message I got was, be aware, live life today, really really LIVE life today. Thanks for listening.

    Very well said my friend. I am sorry for your loss. 57 is far too young to go.
