The news is indeed very sad and unfair as Jim says.
My thoughts are with her family and friends. This includes those of us that have never met her personally but have been with her in spirit during her battle with this awful disease.
Thank you for the link Christine which allowed me to post an online sympathy card.
Rest in Peace Samantha.
