Not too long ago Ricky informed us that his wife Cathy was diagnosed with stage 3 bladder cancer. Then the next text stated she had stage 4 bladder cancer with metastasis to the stomach. She went home with hospice. She passed away yesterday. I feel very sad for Ricky. He has endured a lot of losses the past few years--more than his share. I am so glad we were able to get together during the reunion in Alamogordo.
