Hummingbird4 is now an angel
I'm so sorry to let you all know that hummingbird4 passed yesterday. She had been hospitalized multiple times in the last month and went downhill quickly. Thank god she was in hospice and went peacefully. My heart is very heavy. We met at MSKCC and forged a friendship that I will always cherish. She was such a sweet person
