Pancreatic Cancer: Families Move On (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781796098181)

Lisa M. Strahs-Lorenc is the widow of Fred Strahs-Lorenc who died of pancreatic cancer on January 30, 2009. They were together for 33 1/2 years and had 2 children, Sari and Ryan. In the 11 years since his passing, she has been with a fellow widow for the past 8 years. She held an engagement party for her daughter, a wedding in California, and has 3 granddaughters. She saw her son grow in his career, graduate from college and buy a home in Florida. She has changed jobs a number of times and works part-time for a non-profit organization. This book is an important passion project for her to support others who have lost their loved ones, demonstrating how life goes on, and to support the research of the Lustgarten Foundation for early detection and an eventual cure for this deadly disease.
