On Sunday, October 9, 2011 at 3am, Wendy Sue Vosper lost her battle with Breast Cancer<\/a>. Since the moment I found out about her situation almost 4 years ago<\/a>\u00a0I wished this would never come to pass. Her whole family did the little things to keep her spirits up<\/a>, and we all awaited her every update on her condition on Carepages.com. In the end, the cancer spread to every place it didn’t belong, and put out the flame on a beautiful\u00a0person.\u00a0She was an inspiration long before cancer. With cancer defining her recent years, she became even more of a guiding light. She dealt with cancer in the most real of ways, being very honest with herself, her family and her friends of the victories of therapy and the crushing agony of repeated failed treatment. Throughout these times she had that beautiful smile.<\/p>\n

She was well enough\u00a0to even come up north from South Carolina to share her final Christmas with us. Christmas…that was Aunt Wendy’s holiday. NOBODY loved sharing it more than her.<\/p>\n

I called her 2 weeks ago and we talked for an hour\u00a0about life. She still had big plans and was happy to hear that so many of mine have come to fruition. Tonight we drive 13 hours to South Carolina to say our goodbyes. I’m looking forward to seeing her one last time. It just doesn’t seem fair really…because she’s gone too soon.<\/p>\n

Gone Too Soon – Michael Jackson<\/h3>\n

Like A Comet
\nBlazing ‘Cross The Evening Sky
\nGone Too Soon<\/p>\n

Like A Rainbow
\nFading In The Twinkling Of An Eye
\nGone Too Soon<\/p>\n

Shiny And Sparkly
\nAnd Splendidly Bright
\nHere One Day
\nGone One Night<\/p>\n

Like The Loss Of Sunlight
\nOn A Cloudy Afternoon
\nGone Too Soon<\/p>\n

Like A Castle
\nBuilt Upon A Sandy Beach
\nGone Too Soon<\/p>\n

Like A Perfect Flower
\nThat Is Just Beyond Your Reach
\nGone Too Soon<\/p>\n

Born To Amuse, To Inspire, To Delight
\nHere One Day
\nGone One Night<\/p>\n

Like A Sunset
\nDying With The Rising Of The Moon
\nGone Too Soon<\/p>\n
