Our dear friend Sarah Howson was diagnosed with cancer a little over a year ago. She died on Friday August 2nd, aged only 42. We had just arrived at our campsite in the French Alps when we got a message saying that she had gone. Today is her funeral- I am reading the eulogy (which I hope to make it through without crying and can't guarantee). She was a wonderful, warm, funny person who has provided no end of friendship to us. She leaves behind a husband and three girls, a huge number of friends and a lot of memories.

Terrible news.
Your friend and her family will be in my thoughts.
Last January I lost a close friend to mesothelioma (the same form of cancer that killed my mother and my wife's father). The pain is endless, but it's no use to surrender to it. Keep up.

So sorry to hear that SA. All forms of cancer are bloody awful but hopefully one day . . .

Sorry kid
Three kids? Jesus. I have bad dreams about leaving mine in such a fashion.
So sorry to hear this about your friend SA. Fucking cancer. My father died two years ago on cancer and a good friend of me cancer of the intestine was diagnosed but he's still alive.
