A perfect example of the Laws of Karma.

Wishing her and her family strength

Hope she makes a full recovery

Good luck 🤞🏼🤞🏼

How's sad. I guess 'that's life'

Well that's life.

Wish her well. A dedicated woman of great integrity, who has helped so many people, a positive role model to all. Hope all goes well 🙏

She pushed the unecessary and dangerous jabs. Silly woman.

Most people have cancer during their lifetime it largely due to longer life expectancy. 82 years old is a good age. Did she smoke in her youth and it's caught up with her?🧐

Did not like her self- opinionated comments about unvaccinated people who exercise their rights to protect their body. Obviously she hasn't been following the REAL news!

Stay strong Esther,I hope it works out OK.

Did she have the vaccine? It makes you think.
