Cancer Kickin Girl is Gone

It’s with sadness that I post that Ashley Anderson has died today after losing her battle to Pancreatic cancer.  Her web site is cancerkickingirl.com.

Ashley was 28 years old.  Way to you young.

to lose the fight but sometimes there is just nothing left to do.

I am sad, but instead of staying in doors and grieving for her I took the bus to downtown Seattle and did a whole bunch of touristy things including having my make up done.  She would have approved.  She was a doer, a goer and an uplifter!  Ashley lived her life to the fullest each and everyday.

Her facebook page has a picture of her with Patrick Swayze’s wife after he passed away from the same cancer.

Ah cancer sucks no matter what type you get.

Did I say I hate pink?  I hate all of it: pink, purple, green and whatever other color is out there for it all.

I am glad my friend is no longer in pain.  This was the fifth month she had been in the hospital and all for pain control.  Pain is the worst thing.

I prefer to remember her bubbly smile and the joy she shared with her husband Tim.

I know she’s okay now and doesn’t have to suffer.

This was ‘our’ girl!  Ashley in purple…when she had just finished the Pancreatic Cancer Walk in Washington D.C. in early June.  She got sick immediately following.ashley
