Felecia Guidry(2)

Submitted on 09/07/2005
My mom, Felecia would want everyone to know that you have to keep fighting this beast until the fat lady sings. My mom, Felecia Guidry lost her battle to ovarian cancer August 29. 2005. She was diagnosed in October 2002. She kept the best attitude throughout her fight with ovarian cancer. She would encourage others at her chemo sessions and be the cheerleader. She passed away peacefully at home like she wanted to. I encourage anyone who reads this to listen to your body and if something doesn't feel right to keep searcing for an answer and find a physician who will listen.

May God Bless Those Who are fighting this
