Goodbye dear friend....

Awakened by the phone early yesterday morning... I got the devastating news.. My dearest friend had lost her long battle. She passed away and went to a better place. After going through the surgeries, the chemo she was told the cancer was gone. We were a grateful and hopeful that it was all behind her. Then a blood test came back almost a year later with some suspicious markers...but after giving her a scare the dr. said all was well. Then a few months later a new tumor was said to be found.. then after a 2nd opinion there was no tumor but cancer cells were detected in the test. Long trips to John Hopkins in Baltimore helped her discover that her cancer had returned and at that point surgery again was not the best option. She had been treated for the wrong type of cancer the first time. Then yet another battle began. Many trips and new meds were the hope. She then couldn't eat and started losing weight but her attitude was great and she seemed to be doing OK. Then a few weeks ago another trip to John Hopkins.. This trip resulted in surgery to put stints in her kidneys. All quickly declined from there. They returned home and she was on feeding tube at night. We kept getting updated from her hubby being told shes not doing too good. We were waiting on the OK to visit but that never came. Last week she was admitted to be given blood but was home again in a few days. Then over the weekend she was rushed to a hospital a couple hours away... Reports seemed grim from there. One of the stints failed and they had to put in a tube to her kidney.. .the tube got infected and set up blood poisoning... she started losing her reality sense and was fading fast. Her body too weak to fight the infection. The family was called in. We knew the time was coming but it still didn't "hit" me. I don't really think it still has.. I think of the last time I saw her feeling well... we were laughing and joking. Making plans for the summer... I break at the thought of her being gone.. I know she is in a better place and is no longer suffering, but I miss her so much already. Not 2 months ago we were at her birthday party... she held her son a birthday party last month.. He was the light of her life and she was the best mother out there... She was so optimistic but always said Gods will is her future. I will always cherish the last hug we shared leaving with an I love you guys..........
Please PRAY for the family.. her husband is devastated and her baby doesn't understand... Thank you all....

Kadesha I love you and know you are Gods new angel.....
01/83---03/08(25yrs) of you grace... You are missed but we shall meet again...
