Rod sent Mom flowers when she finished chemo the first time and this note was attached. I'm surprised that the poem below was NOT in Mom's Bible. I know she read it, and I'm sure it is written down somewhere in one of her many notebooks.
This poem describes Mom's cancer battle. Cancer DID NOT WIN. Mom never gave up, she never lost her hope, her joy, her peace, her faith, and most of all she did not lose her soul.What Cancer Cannot Do
Cancer is so limited...
It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot corrode faith
It cannot destroy peace
It cannot kill friendships
It cannot suppress memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot steal eternal life
It cannot conquer the spirit.

Yes, the final score was Mom (and God) 1, Cancer 0.

May all our "Final Scores" show us the victors (with the Lord's help). Beautiful post.
Sissy McElhaney-
Honestly, your mom's faith is so admirable -- what a family legacy to leave behind for her children. I'm so glad you're bloggin because I get to read this every day as another form of inspiration.
Thanks for sharing these precious McMemories! :)
