What Cancer cannot do: Cancer is so limited…………. It cannot cripple love, It cannot shatter hope, It
cannot dissolve faith, It cannot destroy peace, It cannot kill friendship, It cannot suppress memories, It
cannot silence courage, It cannot invade the soul, It cannot steal eternal life, It will never conquer our
family spirit.
