Dee died Friday.

I met her a few months ago while she was undergoing radiation treatment for oral cancer. On the last day of treatment she was in low spirits, when a clown came by and cheered her up. She smiled big-time. Dee had always wanted to be a clown and decided that she would go to school to become one.

Unfortunately medical problems ended her life too soon, but i'm sure she is smiling and enjoying everything now.

i've lost 3 friends to cancer in the past couple of months. i remember each of them dearly.

bye Dee, Kate and Jim.
