  7. Nancy Adams Kerr condolence:

    I have no words….except how much you will be missed in our NET community boards. You were one of the first lung NET patients to mentor me, and teach me about this disease we both shared. Your beautiful soul was evident in the calm way you encouraged others when they were having difficulties. Your wisdom and strength were evident in the way you handled your own difficulties. Your love for your family was evident in every post about them. Please continue to look over them as they journey thru their grief. I miss you already, Cheryl Anne….
