Remember me telling you that my very best friend lives in Troutdale?
We've been best friends for about 10 years.
While she was still living here she introduced me to a long-time friend of hers (from High School).
He was OK a month ago, started feeling bad, was diagnosed with Leukemia,
they started chemo, a week later his kidneys shut down, last week they had to revive & use life support.
Yesterday morning he passed. Found out it was also Lymphoma. He was 45(ish)?
Not a "close" friend, but a friend and a sweetheart.
Needless to say, my dear friend in OR is beside herself... =(
