Yes, she has serious health issues, but she is one of the most positively strong person you may encounter in life. Even with all her "presumed" health issues, the spark in her is so fiery!

OHhhhh.. I had'nt even taken this possibility into consideration at all?
I apologise for any disrespect.
Just thought it a humorous addition to the sillyness of the task at hand.

Fiery spark you say?
Sounds wonderfuly delightful!


Sending Love her way too!
