It's Stephanie's (Taffy's) birthday!! It was a beautiful day- August, 13, 2011; friends and family gathered in Lincoln Park for a walk/run on Taffy and lung cancer research's behalf. We got to walk with her- there was much laughing and catching up as old friends gathered. (Though she loved every one of you, being hostess was not her favorite past time, but she did it with grace and aplomb in that last year of her life).
She treasured that day, and for some of you it was the very last time you saw her walking on this earth.,
This year, Lungevity has graciously scheduled their annual walk/run on Taffy’s birthday, August 11, again at Lincoln Park.
Though I’ve heard she’s learned to fly, and may be hovering, she’ll certainly be with us in our hearts. Some of you can’t be at Lincoln Park this year, but you can be generou$ and help make Team No Jello No. 1.
You may do that by clicking here.
And not to worry, if I don’t hear from you, I’ll be nagging …
Her friend, Dr. Jack West has written: [Stephanie”] touched a great many people very powerfully. The way she approached her life and her cancer embodied wisdom, peace, and grace. She was a remarkable person for me to know personally, and I know that many people here have learned about both lung cancer and their approach to life from her presence here, which will fortunately live on.
Please help Taffy live forever … and by all means, join us August 11.
Wow! I’ll be there. It’s my birthday also.
