No April Fools Joke here

I missed posting the market update yesterday due to schedule and some news I have received. Everyone that knows me, definitely knows I enjoy a good belly laugh especially at their expense (or at mine.) Just as long as you laugh. Life is too short to be miserable or carry a grudge. They say laughter is the best medicine and I believe it…but sometimes it doesn’t work. So naturally you would think this is the day Bob looks forward to every year. Not today…
I received an email from a fellow real estate agent that walks with me at the Frederick Relay every year. Last year she brought a friend of hers that was battling Cancer, Jen Kelly. She was in remission and was doing well. The evening was great seeing her family (husband and two young children) with her as we walked in celebration of her Survivorship.
That’s what the whole event is about Celebrating victories and one of the harder parts Remembering the ones that weren’t so victorious. It pains me deeply that we most likely won’t be Celebrating this year. News has not been good for Jen. As I write this today, the doctors are predicting a few weeks to a month. I am very grateful for meeting Jen, as she is a vibrant young woman with a very wonderful family. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Below is from last years event.
As I have always said…
Either you have it, have had it, will have it or know someone that does…pay it forward and help find a cure and help those in need now.
This is part of Fighting Back…
on edit: Jen passed away April 2, 2008.
You will be missed.
