A tribute show to our friend and GLB great Alaskan Raven who is fighting cancer.
Saw this in another forum, and thought I'd post this in here:
AlaskanRaven (Melissa) has been battling cancer and unfortunately she is losing the battle. She is down to 85 pounds and the treatments are no longer effective. They expect her to pass within months or sooner.
They are trying to get a GLB radio show together on Wednesday so she can say goodbye and vice versa.
It is up to each agent but it would be nice if people could show her some love by putting on this AVI for a little while. You don't have to of course.

I don t have any other way to say this than just to do it...News isn t good at all for Mom...treatments aren t working now, she s down to 85 pounds and the time of months or less is being discussed...I ll never give up hope, but I have to admit, she does seem to have lost her spunk and fight....she sleeps almost all the time...I m going to get with DAWG for a show..she feels the need for some kind of closure with you all...she wants you to know how very special it has been knowing you as best you can through an internet game and that she loves you all like family...My Mom is and always has been a very special lady..I ll live my entire life and will never know another with her compassion, grit and ability to put others first...Her nic name around her is Steel-Belted Marshmallow...that about sums it up...
I m sure this is very difficult for all or most to read...It s very hard to type, but I m one that deals in reality...Rest assured, I ll do everything to keep her smiling and in good spirits and free of pain...I ll be by her side and pls cherish the good times you ve had with her...she doesn t want you to be sad...she cherishes her memories with you..some of you hold an extra special place in her heart and all are dear friends that have been so very loyal to her...she adores you and smiles anytime I mention your names or read your pms...
I m praying for a recovery...I m praying she use our strength and our love to make it....Thanks for loving my Mom and making this game so much fun for her...Chad=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Alaskan Raven as you all may know has been battling cancer and tonite, DAWG and Buck are hosting a show to congratulate her upon her leaving the hospital tonite in much better condition than she has been in recent months.
Please join us in celebrating the health of our friend. Alaskan Raven.
