Iris passed away peacefully, in the company of her family & friends, at approximately 10:16pm on February 17, 2009. Yesterday (Feb 21), her family held her celebration of life at Hakone Garden in Saratoga. There were a lot of people from work, friends and family members. I knew she had a long way to fight against cancer but I didn't think this was her time.
Her husband said to me, "Iris wants you to know that you shouldn't be scared because of what happened to her. Her cancer was very aggressive and it shouldn't happen to you."
It immediately made me cry when I imagined what was going on in her mind. She was incredibly courageous and touched many people's lives. She loved yellow rubber duckies. Every time I see them, I will think of her.
I believe one's life is valued by how it will be remembered. She will be truly remembered by all of us as the most courageous and loving woman.

Like your hair do!!!
You look very chic.
I glad you enjoyed your trip back home. I happy that you had a verry good pastor. God want us to take one day at a time. For we can only live a day at a time. We don't know what tomorrow will bring.
Take care and God in Jesus always,
Linda G.
