Sorry for your loss, but what are the rules on this? Do you have to be alive the day of the election for it to count?

My best friend died of Pancreatic cancer September 16h. I still can’t believe she’s gone.

Pancreatic cancer is the worst. Hardly shows any early symptoms. I just read somewhere that after five years, only 7% of people are still alive. After ten years, only 2%.

nice to hear she voted before she went.

It's the seeming little things that often make life worth living.

I woke up missing her. Knowing that our little sewing group we formed years ago is now without her joy.

My sister-in-law died of pancreatic cancer. Terrible, cruel disease.

As for voting? My husband and I voted this weekend. The polling stations have been crazy crowded. A very good sign.

About a year ago, we had a scare. It turns out that my wife didn't have pancreatic cancer, but she does have a pancreatic enzyme deficiency. But as long as she keeps taking her prescription enzyme capsules, she's fine.

I do hope your friend's vote gets counted. But even if it turns out not to, at least she died having enjoyed voting against the bastard.

I live in a senior village with everything from active living to hospice on campus. I have lived here only a few years, but I've never seen anything like this. People are heck bent on getting the ballot in, just in case they are dead before Nov 3.
