A lovely eulogy--sounds like Lynn dit it 'her way'---and who of us should say she was wrong??
Cancer IS a beast, and with the best will in the world and all the fighting and girding imagineable, it will pick off as and when it decides.
For me, the fight is to simply live with it as best I can--at least Lynn was spared 8 months of the 'increasing/decreasing' bit--take comfort from that.
I'm sorry for your loss John
