SURPRIZE

Hi Fran, Good on you for doing the Eulogy.  I spoke as part of the Eulogy of my friend as well.  I think it is a very good healing process.  I am also doing a photo board for her family of all the funny times we spent together.  My friend and I first met at a Queensland Cancer Council get-to-gether when we were first diagnosed back in 2006.  We became very close:  establishing the dragonboat club, actively participating in the local Cancer Support Group, both trained as BCNA Community Liasons, loads of fundraising and guest speaking gigs together, out there in the media, travelling to BCNA forums across the State, attending many BCNA Summits and Conferences together and also representing others and bringing back information from Queensland Cancer Council workshops.  We had a lot of fun inbetween our bc challenges.  We found each other through bc however we had a very dense friendship in the 7 years of friendship.  I now find comfort in having a long distance friendship with my friend's only sister who lives across the other side of Australia.
