Reyna
I went by one of my suppliers today and discovered one of the girls who worked there died Monday, of ovarian cancer. She was 35.
Reyna was my favorite person at the store. She always had a quick smile and said hello and goodbye. She was almost perpetually in a good mood and was really friendly and helpful. She made beautiful jewelry and was always happy to discuss designs and color combinations with me, and she always pointed out what was new since I'd been in last. She was a beautiful, gentle person, and it makes me horrendously sad this happened to her. She'd been diagnosed in November, so I was really unprepared for the news. Four months isn't really a very long time, and I had really hoped she'd beat it, despite how sick she'd been the last time I saw her, just before Christmas. My thoughts and prayers go out to her sister Carmen, her family and loved ones.
In addition to remembering her with this post, I would hope all my female readers will please visit the ob-gyn at least once a year and stay on top of any tests or recommendations the doctor makes. Perhaps have the CA-125 blood test - or a series of it - done. 35 is far too young to die, especially if you have as much to contribute to the goodness in life as Reyna did.
Peace,
Jenie

I'm so sorry to hear about this. It's just awful. You did a wonderful job reminding everyone why it's important to get their exams done and be proactive in discussin their health with their doctors. KJ
Well said.
