Cheeky Librarian

This is my place to relate my experiences with cancer treatment, as well as share resources that may be helpful to fellow oral, head, and neck cancer survivors. I was diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma of the left parotid on June 30, 2006. My goal is to continue enjoying the Nebraska Good Life. I call this blog the "Cheeky Librarian", since the cancer was discovered in my cheek, I am a librarian, and many that know me say I fit the slang use of the word 'cheeky'.

This could be the best obituary ever

Nancy Lee Hixson, of Danville, OH - April 17, 1944 - June 30, 2009

I hope it isn't wrong to say this - I really enjoyed reading this obituary, but really sad that I didn't get to meet Ms. Hixson in person. A friend sent this link to me from Twitter, so her sphere of influence continues to spread. Here's to you and the wonderful life you led, Ms. Hixson.

If only all obituaries could be such a reflection of the people they're about. It made me wish I had known her - I don't think I can say that about any other obituary I've ever read.

Teri--this is a great obit! I'm something of a collector of obits, so I may link to this one as well.

Here's one story where I was interviewed on the topic:

I agree with you! That was a great one and I only regret that I never met her either. What a wonderful person!
