Some of you guys know she has been battling cancer for many years. She took a turn for the worse shortly after TF while I was at Rick and Dawns for the 4th of July race and I returned home. She was unconscious by the time I made it back. Its been a very difficult struggle for all of us seeing her in such pain and struggle. Her cancer was in the mouth and face and she underwent half a dozen major operations over the past 15 years to try and get it out. She's been so tough and strong through all of it. Her last major operation was about 4 years ago in which they took all of the jaw bone on ther right side and most of the nasal plate out. She's lived those 4 years since then on not much more then liquids and instant potatoes because she just would not give up. The fight that she put up for her will to live and her endurance to all of it has been phenomenal....
RIP Grandma, I'll love you always.
-The baby grandson.

billy it sucks losing a family member keep your chin up bud. the only good thing is no more pain and suffering, shes in a good place now.
Sorry to hear that Billy. I recently lost a close Aunt to cancer - it isn't to loose anyone - but to see them struggle with such a body ravaging disease is hard.
You can only hope that they are now in a better place of peace and comfort.
You have a great group of friends here to call on if you need them - that says a lot about yourself & them. Take care.

Very sorry to hear that Bill, I have no surviving grandparents now and wish I had spent more time with them.... Sounds like you spent time with her though.
My grandfather passed last spring of cancer too, got very very thin and could no longer eat. So sad to see someone suffer that you love.
Take care,
DC

Wow, billy, I'm so sorry to hear that. I know that no one can really feel what you are going though, but I feel your pain. My one grandmother passed from heart disease and the other from cancer in the brain stem. It's so terrible to see someone you love dearly suffer.
I hope you are doing well, and I will keep you and your family in my thoughts.

Sorry to hear that billy, my mom had surgery today to remove some cancerous stuff herself...
Lost my grandmother about 3 years ago to cancer, so it feels liek it's playing out all over again.
Sounds like a mighty tough and nice lady you had there. Just remember her.

Thanks a lot for the support guys. The funeral will be Saturday at 10:00AM. My mom is actually holding up pretty well so far. She was with her for many months as her health declined. As sad as it is to say, I think she almost had to get into the shape she did for her departure to be acceptable by any of us....

Sorry to hear this Billy, it's always hard to loose someone that close, and it sounds like you two were really close, it always hits hard and deep. I'll be thinking of you and your family, if you need anything let me know buddy.

I'm sorry to hear what happened. I know how your feeling, my grandmother passed away about a month ago from cancer, and we only knew her cancer had come back (she had it 2 times before) about a month before she passed.

That just stinks man I lost my grandma 2yrs ago and grandpa 5yrs ago. I can't say I know how ya feel cause Iwasn't real close to them they lived too far away.
The cancer stuff is scary in person I have had melanoma cut out three times. I feel for ya bro.

Hang in there, Billy. I know the battle she fought was long and difficult. But in a way, everyone should be happy that she is free now. God bless your family and her struggle, and be there for each other in this rough time. Anything you need, just holler.
Best wishes and heart-felt condolences from our family to yours.
Peace

I'm also very sorry to hear of your loss. Try not to think of her passing as a time to mourn your loss, but as a time to celebrate her life.
