My mother was diagnosed with colon cancer 6 months prior after a lengthy year long illness of not knowing why she was having severe lower abdominal pain. She wanted to donate her body for scientific research to possibly find the cause of colon cancer and maybe even contribute towards a cure ans she was passionate this would be a worthwhile cause. She was a very strong woman and did so much for our family and touched the lives of those she met along the way. She will be forever in our hearts and memories.
