Our clan has been particularly affected by Cancer. In addition to the two ladies above, cancer also claimed my father, Bruce P. Griffith, and my wife's Uncle, Richard Schneider. Her Grandmother Esta survived three cancers in her lifetime. As well as other good friends and family claimed by this scourge. Having had the experience of having both of my parents parents in hospice at home, I have come to the conclusion that Cancer is one of the most unfair diseases in the world, as it kills the person first, then the body. Please support Cancer research and your local hospice organization.
