She did it her way and paved the way for others to have the courage and do it too!

She is truly an "Angel" now!

I saw the documentary last nite. What an amazing woman. Cried all the way thru it. I don't know how she did it.

People like Farrah are a blessing to all of us who are fighting this horrible cancer. I am thankful that she did the documentary detailing what she has had to go thru and the pain, sickness and the toll it takes on all of us. Plus to also put in the spot light cancers that don't get much need attention in regards to federal funding. She will be sorely missed not only by Ryan, Redmond, family and friends but by all of us who understand the fight she gave against cancer. May God Bless her. Heaven is a little brighter today because of her. I agree that Michael's passing is a shock but like Karen (Peyz23) I think that Farrah deserves much more attention or at least acknowledgment to what she has been through. Oh well, the media has to go to the story that gives them news time.
Have a beautiful weekend everyone.

God Bless Farrah and her family. She was an amazing spirit and will be truly missed. Karen

I completely in agreement with all of you. To add some info, they are running Farrahs Story tonight at 9 p.m., I believe on NBC, for those of you that have not seen it.

Farrah was an amazing person, fought the beast until the end. Another day of sorrow. We all need to count our blessings. Sometimes it isn't easy.
Much Love,

hi sweetie - I have been crying since I heard. I saw her documentary and it broke my heart and I know first hand how hard it was for her to face her fear and be so brave - I was - still am - in awe of her courage. The "gushing" over Michael Jackson (while it's terrible and tragic that he has died) - does not compare to the courage and reality that Farrah had to face once dx'd with her cancer. To live and fight to stay alive is much more a display of courage then to suddenly have a heart attack. I cry for her, for you - myself and anyone who has to face CANCER - who has to accept that they have it - deal with the ramifications of cancer and fight to stay alive. To die like Michael Jackson did is truly a blessing - we should all be so lucky - but we are not - we - who know we are sick - in remissioonor not - are surely being tested on a completely different level - and our courage is what will stand us apart from all others. God bless you Eddie - and all of us who fight this and all cancers.
