Cancer Takes Its Ugly Toll on Two Dear Cousins



In 2004, my cousin, Ann Merrill died of liver cancer. Her sister, Karole, died on April 18 of this year of breast cancer which had spread throughout her body. How does cancer strike two beautiful and wonderful people in the same family? And, in their 60's?


So hard to understand from a statistical and medical standpoint...


Interestingly, their father just died last year at 100 years of age.


Ann and Karole, I'll always remember you both as selfless, positive, and always cheerful...thanks for your noble lives of goodness.
