Hello All~
Wanted to take a moment and thank my Aunt Darline. 2009 is a year in which she has faced a devastating loss of her husband Arlon to cancer. She also helped her sister Donna bury her husband of 50 years, Mel. When Dad was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, it was a tough blow to all of us. We have all tried to step up and help in our own way. Darline has spent the better part of a month being a daily taxi driver to Philadelphia (1.5 hours each way) and a waiting room and chemotherapy/infusion companion. It has been unbelievably difficult for all of us to watch Dad fight, endure pain and be unable to talk. But the grace it has required of Darline none of us can truly understand. She has taught me to have the strength to look outside of myself when others need something I can give. She has given her time and empathy in a period of grieving when none of us could have asked it of her. As she gets ready to leave and get on with living, I wanted to let her know that her sacrifice has not gone unnoticed. We love you and thank you for all you have done.
