1. Ovarian cancer, same as what got my mother.
My sister started this after my mother died. If anyone would like to chip in, or just pass the word around about Ovarian Cancer, please feel free.

My thoughts are with the Kraft family, trust me.

3. RIP, Mrs. Kraft.
I don't mean to be crass, but I'm going to be, I guess. Sorry.

This was really bad timing!
