Her daughter's friend...

A woman shares this story about how she gave Caring Coins to her daughter's friend when she was diagnosed with cancer and to her friend's mother:
"One of my daughter's closest friends from school was a beautiful tall young woman with a wonderful sense of humor and an infectious laugh. I used to call her my African Queen. At the age of 23 she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She struggled and fought back without success. During her last months as she dealt with the anger that she would never fall in love or have children, her greatest wish was to live to see her 25th birthday. I sent Caring Coins to both she and her mother. My daughter told me that her friend treasured that Caring Coin. Her mother has written me how much the message You are never alone on her Caring Coin has meant to her. Our friend did live to be 25 and died about a week later. Her mother still carries the Caring Coin.

I cannot imagine the pain of loosing a child...can you?
