Goodbye to a True Fighter

Posted by Kathy Torrence on Dec 8, 2008 in Family Stuff

Yesterday the world lost a strong spirit – my co-worker Linda Olivo.  Linda has been battling breast cancer for over 10 years and finally lost her fight last night.

I have never seen anyone fight so hard for life – squeezing every last precious second that she could to spend time with her daughter, all the time knowing that she would lose that fight in the end. 

But even though she knew that her time was limited, she never let it slow her down.  She just completed several master’s degree courses and received a standing ovation and huge round of applause as she walked up for her certificate.

The last time I saw Linda was just a few weeks ago – I told her I would be praying for her and her family.  I hope those prayers are answered today as her husband and daughter face the reality of their enormous loss.
