I write today because I am very sad. I lost a friend and co-worker two days ago. She suffered from Crohn's her entire 62 years, having surgery after surgery until there was nothing left to take out. She began a bout of sickness on Monday and passed away on Wednesday. She was found in her bathroom.
She was a wonderful person. She lived alone but had many friends and co-workers who really cared about her. She worked right up until last week. Her dedication to her work and her good nature despite this horrid disease was admirable.
I will miss her.
