A good friend of mine passed away yesterday morning. She was 39 and had been suffering from Breast Cancer that ultimately went to her brain. She leaves behind a husband and 2 young children 7and 9.I never mentioned Mel Frisby much on Mac, as to be honest she had Breast Cancer for such along time and fought it successfully for such a long period that she crept to the back of my mind, with everything that had been happening to me.She was around when my husband died despite her own situation, she gave on going support.I always knew she was on borrowed time but didnt expect her to leave so soon as she always came back from the brink..About 10 days ago she went into hospital to have a 'line' taken out, while she was in there she had a seisure and a stroke. Yesterday morning at 6.30am it was game over... It kind of puts things into perspective
