OK, just got to re-read this (your) post. Crazy business.

Cancer update from here, which is actually Rhode Island: Melissa found out about the stage 4 lung cancer in January-ish, right?

Glenda and Tahramy visited them in RI toward the end of April, by which time her radiation and chemotherapy had ceased. Her stage 4 was that bad and widespread (upper legs and brain, minimum). I went grocery shopping with Tahramy last night so we could talk about it all. Her birthday is about halfway through June, and the doctors don't expect her to make it that far. I just looked her up and she's lived in Sherman Oaks, Chicago, and North Scituate (RI), so she'll be turning 26. M-I-C-K-E-Y, F-U-C-K-U!

So it looks like you texted me a couple days ago to say that Mrs. Melissa passed away only a couple of days ago. I would congratulate her on making it that far as long as she didn't suffer much and that she was happy with her husband during her last days in her home state. I hope the fam is okay. This whole post is about how much cancer sucks.
