caniac Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 As most of you know, the motivation for my shows has always come from the single mom accross the road and her 5 year old son. over the years they have spent countless hours either watching my Halloween and Christmas shows or counting down the days until we start setting up. If we changed something her 5 year old son knew it and would tell you where that prop was last year and where we put it this year. She has spent the last 5 years fighting pancreatic cancer and last wednesday she lost that battle. She was only 33 and leaves behind a 5 year old son. She has a big strong family so I think he will be ok. She made it a point to do lots with him in an effort for him to have tons of positive memories to draw on when her time came. She was an exceptional woman and will be missed by all. This year I will dedicate both shows to her memory, her favorite color is purple and there will be several purple elements in my show plus some of the props she really loved (and music).

k6ccc Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Sorry to hear about the loss. I think I pretty know how you feel, the 12 year old son of one of my closest co-workers passed away 11 days ago from cancer of the bile duct. Yes, do what you can for the family and the 5 year old son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caniac Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 pancreatic cancer at 28 is just unfair...I would agree my friend I would agree especially leaving behind a 5 year old boy. Thanks to all the well wishers, unfortuante for me and my better half we were unable to attend the funeral. Airlines were running a special on "grab your ankles" tickets. Will make an attempt to go in the summer and leave flowers on her grave. She trully was a special lady and a special neighbor. She left her world a better place.

caniac Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 Not really, just one of those things in life that just doesn't seem fair. Just keep her family in prayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
