Sandy and the rest of Ginette's family,
Your grandma/mother and I took chemo together and she was always so positive. I also knew her from the Providence quilting group.
May our "Almighty God" bless you with great strength and be merciful, loving, and shine his bright light. so that the Holy Spirit may lighten your days. You are in our prayers.
