Anna's loving sister wrote "With heavy hearts, we share the passing of our beloved Anna, who fought bravely against cancer until the very end. Her strength, kindness, and unwavering spirit touched everyone she met. She filled our lives with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. Though she’s no longer with us, her light will continue to shine in our hearts. We thank everyone who stood by her side throughout this journey and ask for your thoughts and prayers as we say not goodbye but see you later to a remarkable soul. We love you Anna PLEASE HELP. Update from Gladys: 10/26 Anna is home finally. She's weak but we are glad she is with us at home now. We continue to pray for a miracle. We are very grateful to all who have been with us in prayers and donations God bless everyone ❤️ 10/19. From Gladys: Anna is currently still in the hospital recovering from her bowel obstruction surgery, but we are planning to get her discharged home by next week. My family is deeply touched by the kindness and generosity of everyone ❤️ we are very grateful for the gifts and prayers offered for Anna. Thank you very much to everyone. We have received food from others, and it's all greatly appreciated. God bless everyone abundantly. The money will be used for medical supplies, transportation, bills and a ramp for wheelchair accessibility.) Anna, 24 yr old daughter of dear nurse Gladys, is terminally ill. Anna recently graduated from NIU. In January she was diagnosed with cancer. Tragically the cancer has metastasized and is in her bones. Anna's cancer is very aggressive and cannot be treated. The palliative care team has recommended hospice. She is currently in hospital. Gladys wishes to bring Anna home and spend the precious remaining time with her and her family. She does not qualify for FMLA and working right now is understandably difficult. Anything is appreciated.
To know Gladys is to know love. She is a gentle, kind and caring soul. Gladys's coworkers Kirat, Maggie, Sarah, Susie and I are asking you please help show love back to her. Your financial assistance will help so that the family can fully focus on helping comfort Anna and each other.
Gladys has deep faith in God and is praying for a miracle. Please join her in prayer during this difficult time. Thank you and God bless❣️Please share this link.
