My sister Jennifer was at the beside of her friend Alex. He passed away while in remission from Lymphoma, however died from complications of “lung issues” Jen’s experience with cancer a lung issues is: It gets the person in the end. This is because if fungus gets into the lungs and having a compromised immunes system, the lungs do not have a chance to fight.
After I talked to Jen about her friend Alex and how it brought back to her fresh memories of John's last night she said something that makes me realize what a gift I was given to me that night. Jen mentioned that it was really hard to watch his wife when they came and took Alex. I have to say how I so glad I do not have this memory. I remember later Laura saying when I left John in his room there was a conscious effort to shield me from the mortuary people and they gurney. Thank you for doing this. Just the thought of this type of memory brings tears and upset. I am glad I do not have that to add to haunt me
