A Very Sad Note

I just learned today that a dear friend of mine passed away after a 6 year battle with breast cancer. Her name is Debbie Mancini Wharff and I was proud to call her a friend. We met through scrapbooking and we always had a great time when we were able to get together. She also hosted a fabulous crop event while she lived in Iowa where ALL of the proceeds went to the Susan G Koman Foundation. It was such a fun event to attend and over the years the event raised thousands of dollars. I'll never forget her kindness to me when my mother passed away and I was so happy to see her at the visitation.

My heart is heavy for her family and all of us who will miss her. She was a truly beautiful and strong woman and I hope that her husband Mike, kids Matthew, Mari and Nicholas, mom Judi, dad Don and the rest of her family find peace and comfort in the memories that Debbie so lovingly left them with.

I'm very sad. :(

So sad. I didn't know Debbie nearly as well as you did, but she inspired me with her courage and bright outlook. I'll always remember her.
