I don't think we knew each other. I grew up in Chicago. Who are you? Where did you grow up.
My mother is Elizabeth. (My name is Tasha.) She ultimately passed of heart failure, but her health has been VERY bad for over a decade due to diabetes. She was blind and on dialysis for eight years.
Val (my aunt) had breast cancer.
Katherine (my baba) had lung cancer. (No, she didn't smoke.)
George (my didi) either had a stroke or heart attack.
