"Never Say Die" . . . Living with Lung Cancer

A chronicle of my journey with lung cancer. I'll share what I feel and learn along the way ~ hoping it will help my fellow travelers make their way down this rocky road that no one wants to take.

Memorial Information

Linda's Memorial Service is scheduled for Wednesday, May 20 at 11 am, with a type of meet and chat or whatever it's called starting at 10am, at St. Michael's Catholic Church in Roscommon, MI. There will be a luncheon immediately following at the church.

We are asking that instead of flowers, if you could, please make a donation to Hospice of Helping Hands, located in West Branch, MI (866-446-7742). Linda adored her team and the care she received from them.

Another Update.

This is Jennie again.

Mom passed away on Wednesday, May 13, at 3:44 a.m.

We haven't been able to arrange her memorial service because her priest is out of town until tonight but since I've heard from some of you, I wanted to update this.

There will be more information as I receive it.

An Update Regarding Linda

This is Jennie, Linda's daughter.

Linda is in the final stage of her battle and I wanted to let you, her friends, know. She ended chemotherapy in January and entered the Hospice program. Since then, she has fought in her way but, barring some sort of miracle, this battle is soon finished.

Some of you have spoken to her on the phone and others I have no phone number or contact information for, so please comment here or send your information to jcelacks@gmail.com if you could. I would greatly appreciate it.
