My mother, Patrician M Johnson, passed away from this treacherous cancer on February 7, 2014. She fought bravely and humorously for five years and lived her life on her own terms right up until the end.

I'm extremely proud of my mother for waging her battle against multiple myeloma (which she called M&Ms) with such panache and incredibly thankful to all of the wonderful, smart, and generous people of the Beacon. As my mother's care partner, I thank you all for your courage, your wisdom, and for just being here when I needed you. Fight on--there will be a cure!

I am so sorry for your loss. M&M's? I'll have to remember that one! That should really turn some heads hank you for sharing that bit of humor from your mother. This disease is a monster yet your mother is still touching lives by you sharing a part of her with the rest of us. THANK YOU FOR THAT!

My deepest sympathies to you and your family.

My condolences regarding your mom and thank you for letting us know about her passing. I too find the M&M comment to be interesting. I too try to maintain a sense of humor about this disease.

Rest in peace, Patricia.

Dear Ycrunk,

No, my mom was never a school teacher in Memphis, TN. She was a social worker who did her best work with children and worked in private practice and for the New Orleans Public School system for many years.

Thank you asking!

Best,
Kore
