Over 10 years ago, I met at a young woman at Crystal Lake. She joined our “Ladies of the Lake” group for an early morning swim. She was so energetic and enthusiastic, it was hard not to like her right away. Always smiling and gung-ho, she was fun to be around.

It seemed somebody that positive could never have anything go wrong. We old ladies were shocked when we heard three years ago that she was diagnosed with breast cancer. That couldn’t be — she was only 37. How could somebody so upbeat and young have that?
