I became acquainted with death at a young age when my much-loved grandmother died of lung cancer when she was only 50. Several other deaths due to cancer within my family occurred during the course of my childhood, and I often felt alone in my feelings as most of my peers had not experienced and did not understand this kind of loss.

I want to be able to give people a small sense of comfort by leaving condolences for their loved ones on this site, even if I don't know the deceased, because I think it's so important for people to support each other through grief.
