On November 4th I lost one of my oldest and dearest friends, Tami Boehmer, to metastatic breast cancer. She left behind a loving husband and 16 year-old daughter. Being 500 miles away and feeling terribly helpless, I offered to make them a quilt from her t-shirts. The box of shirts arrived in the mail the other day and so my labor of love begins...
I'm so sorry for your loss, Susan, especially when you are so far apart...hugs What a beautiful sentiment, one that will be a treasured heirloom for generations as a tribute to a wonderful friend... Hugs and prayers for all
I know your friends husband and daughter will love the quilt....but oh my word....you are really in for the tears. Sending you lots of virtual Kleenex!
I'm so sorry of the loss of your dear friend. There is much that needs to be done to help those with metastatic breast cancer survive and be cured. Sending you a hug.
