As many of you know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign to increase awareness of this disease. 

Many of us have lost loved ones to breast cancer.  Allison lost her Nonnie to breast cancer in 1989. In the picture below, Nonnie is holding baby Allison. Also in the picture are Allison's mother Darlene and her great-grandmother Grace. Four generations! 

So this month we honor Nonnie.
