Thanks Ian, I just re-read my post and realized how tired I was. I meant to say she had lung cancer. She did smoke for many years, but quit about 4 years ago and the type of cancer she had they said isn't generally caused by smoking. Not that I'd know the difference, the end result was the same.
We were all surprised at how quickly she went downhill. She was diagnosed in the end of July and gone by Thanksgiving.
