Dame Anita Roddick died aged 64 on Monday after suffering "a serious brain haemorrhage". She is the founder of Bodyshop where she pioneered cruelty free beauty products. She was also a great campaigner for environmental and human rights issues. She was and still is an inspiration to my pawrents, for her entrepreneurship and great passion towards the environment, including animals.
The news of her death came at about the same time my Mummy realised that one of her friends got diagnosed with brain stem tumor. It is shocking because she is only about the same age as Mum (mid 20s). The doctors say that she has only about 5 yrs left to live. We are very very sad.
We know that everyone leaves this earth eventually but we just cannot imagine relating to the word death at such a young age.
Mum has encouraged her friend to remain positive, change her lifestyle and seek treatment. Miracles do happen and we will be praying for her.
Dear friends, do include Mum's friend in your prayers.

Dachshie puppy kisses to your friend from me and my sisters and a big beagle hug from my chubby sister Chloe. We will be thinking about her lots. Although Anita Roddick passed away, there is at least one thing we can all do in her memory to continue her legacy. I will raise money to donate to a dachshie rescue this Christmas!
I am sending your mom's friend super Ike kisses right now. She can come here and go to the Mayo clinic - it's supposed to be one of the best in the world.
