>I do not know just where to start this, but I feel like you should know. I find it very difficult to talk about it as well as even think about it. My beloved wife of 46 years passed away September 6, 2015 at 4:45 PM. 
>February 2 of last year, she became very tired and went to her doctor who put her in the hospital. She received two units of blood, and after three days, went home. In about 10 days, she again felt very tired and again went to her doctor who immediately put her back in the hospital. This time, she received four units of blood and an appointment to enter a research hospital. That hospital immediately diagnosed her with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the white blood cells. She was then sent to a cancer specialist at another cancer hospital. The cancer specialist, after a multitude of tests, agreed with the diagnosis and said that the multiple myeloma was indeed present and centered in the top of her skull. He started immediate treatment, and about the middle of August, the cancer specialist said she appeared to be in partial remission. Shortly after that, she began to lose her ability to function. 10 days before she passed she did not know anyone or recognize anything. 
>She knew a lot of you folks, meeting you at Portland. She spoke of you often, having enjoyed the Back 40 get togethers. Keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
