There is a new star in heaven tonight
Arnold’s niece Deborah passed away this morning from Cancer,
she was either 50 or 51.
We saw her last Tuesday.
Thank God we did..
She had cancer of the tongue and she was in remission this time last year. It started out a year ago because she thought she had canker sores in her mouth.
when we came back from our trip in October we found out she had been in the hospital where they had taken out more of her mouth & neck where it had progressively & agressively spread.Then last month her husband called and said it spread from her neck to her shoulder into her bones and into her lungs. In May when I got back from Ca she had been in Moffitt She was at home under hospice care and on a pain pump. She had a trach and a feeding tube into her stomach because most of her mouth and neck were taken out and she had a metal plate in there because of the last surgery in May because she could not eat or talk normally with most of her mouth missing. We often wonder if she had of gone to Moffitt initially instead of Lakeland Cancer Center in the Beginning as Arnold had of suggested if maybe things might of come out better. She didn’t get to Moffitt until Lakeland Cancer Center couldn’t do anything else for her.
I am sorry for her father, he has lost his 2nd wife and a daughter in less than 1 year. I am sorry for her husband because he has no one else left in his family to turn to and I hope the Tuckers don’t turn away from him , because this in one Tucker who will NOT turn away from him.
I fell sorry for Deb’s grandbabies, those pretty little girls who will grow up not knowing ther gramma. one will remeber her, Shiloh is 4, but the others are too young and they won’t remember her. Her father lost his wife 9 mos ago and now he lost his daughter.
WE have lost Deb to this Disease. Three weeks ago my Godmother, My Maternal Aunt lost her left Breast to this Disease, Stage 1 Breast Cancer. She hada hematoma and almost died 1 week later, had to have 4 units of blood transfusions, and now is on the road to recovery. We lost my uncle Gene 2 years ago to this disease, to stomach & pancreatic Cancer, My Dad’s “BABY Brother, he shouldn’t have had to go. My Aunt Nancy, we lost her 5 years ago, my Dad’s sister to bone cancer, Oh yes, My Aunt Julie, we lost her 9 months ago to Pancreatic Cancer & Colon Cancer, again my Dad’s Baby Sister….
Yes ther is a new star in heaven tonight, may she be pain free, cancer free, happy and shine on us brightly as we miss her smile, her laugh. her heart, and her smile and her love….. Especially the void in her husband’s heart.
There’s times I really hate this disease and we really need to find a cure!
