Dear Eileen,

I am so sorry to hear about Bob and admire your strength and grace in handling all of this. It sounds like you had a wonderful marriage and that you are taking comfort from those memories.

There are so many things that we just don't know with cancer, despite the improvements in treatments. I think you have put this in the right perspective to appreciate the things that went right instead of the things that are hard to figure out.

I am glad that you and Bob got those extra 3 years together. Please let us know how you are doing.

Regards JoAnne
