She faced her diagnosis with a kind of courage that made people rethink what strength really looks like. Instead of retreating, she stepped forward, sharing her story openly so others wouldn’t feel alone in theirs. Hospital rooms became classrooms. Treatments became testimony.

Yet her greatest devotion was always to her children, who learned from her that love can be both soft and unbreakable.
