Purple is the color of pancreatic cancer. A friend in Eastport gave me this gentle bracelet several months ago, after his wife had died. They had been our first source of support when we let the greater community know of Frank's diagnosis in November 2010. He said, simply, "Pass this on to the next person."
On Saturday, that moment happened. I sat down with a friend, who lives locally and whose husband also has pancreatic cancer, and passed it on. I hope I can provide some comfort and support for both of them in the months ahead.
