Halleluiah???? It is wonderful and terrible but .......... Heather is finally free of the pain and aggravation.
We, as the family of Heather, want to thank each and every one of you that have prayed and/or thought about Heather and her family during the last three months. Theses days, as you can imagine, have been the toughest of our lives but also the best of our lives.
As Heather's brother, I saw from the first bout of cancer, how devastating the diagnosis and treatment can be. I also saw how it can make one very close family even closer. What could have possibly happened this time? It made two families closer. Imagine that, the worst possible news that anyone could get and yet ..... there is good news also.
Following Jim's last message , the Rituxamab that we all hoped would work, didn't. Her lungs, kidneys and blood had just taken too much abuse from the previous treatments. The one thing that we can be thankul for is that the doctors were able to learn a little bit more about this extremely rare condition that fell on her. Heather past away in her sleep on Sunday, June 1, peacefully.
As the family of Heather, through many tears but also much laughter, we want to thank all of you for your concerns, well wishes and prayers. This will be the final entry to the amazing account of Heather's courageous battle and can only hope that each and every one of you will remember her as we will, STRONG.
