A Beautiful Lady!

Today, December 19, 2007, I learned that Patricia Herron passed away from breast cancer.  She was 45 years old and was also a pink scarf recipient.

In my scrapbook I have the card she sent thanking me for the scarf. She says:  My friend, Deb Volk, told me about the article in The Tribune and the beautiful scarves you make for people like me.  I have received many wonderful compliments each time I wear it.  My neck often gets cold and I reach for your scarf for its fuzzy warmth plus it’s so pretty!  I am responding well to my chemo treatments and look forward to going into remission again.  I have an excellent family and friend support team that have kept me strong and positive – for that I am grateful.  Keep up your wonderful work.  I apreciate your beautiful gift.  Thank you so much.

I had the pleasure of meeting Pattie at last year’s Relay for Life Survivors Banquet.  She wanted to have her picture taken with me and her pink scarf.  Her wish was granted that evening and I enjoyed the time I had to visit with her.

Pattie, you will be missed!
