Just wanted to say this to anyone who wants to listen really.

Our neighbor just passed away this afternoon. She was the sweetest old lady who always supported us and chatted with us.

Shes the reason we were able to get this apartment despite me not having a job at the time and my girlfriend making barely enough to pay everything for a few months.

She did anything to support her disabled daughter, despite her health issues.

She always helped my girlfriend through some of the hardest shifts shes had to deal with. Screaming customers, long hours, stressful money counting and deadlines.

Yet cancer took her life, for what? She didn't deserve it, its not fair in the slightest.

So I'll wear this in her name. We love you Michele 🖤

Oh honey I am so sorry for your loss. I am sure you both helped fill her life with love and I am so glad she was there for you.

Rest peacefully Michele.

I'm really sorry for your loss. I've lost a lot of friends to cancer the last years, one just last week. I'm not sure what may comfort you, other than time, carrying the good memories with you, and modeling their best qualities in your own life. That's another kind of legacy, isn't it?
