When the Saints Go Marching In

Sadly, this will be the last post for this blog. If you have been following Sherry's blog you'll know she bravely and stubbornly fought against the cancer in her body. When she was told there were no treatments left that weren't already tried, she began a clinical trial. Unfortunately she was unable to finish it. Around the beginning of April, Sherry started, amazingly for the first time, experiencing symptoms of the cancer growing inside her. She had pain and weakness and a blocked biliary duct. The doctors inserted a tube to drain the duct and worked on getting her pain under control. After a few weeks it was evident that Sherry was getting worse and now hospice was her choice. She entered the Abington Hospital Hospice center at Warminster where she received the greatest care possible. She had her best friend Connie with her 24-7. After a week in hospice it was decided to move her with me. A home setting was what she always hoped for in the end. After only a few days Sherry was rapidly declining and we all knew the end was near. On Sunday June 13, 2010 at 4:28 pm Sherry left us. She was surrounded by the people who love her and she loved and she was painfree and peaceful. I am sad at the loss of my sister, who I loved very much. I know she is in a better place and I am thankful for that. If you read this, please just take a minute to remember her and blow her a kiss. RIP Sherry.
