Yvonne first noticed a swollen area of her neck on  April 3, 2018. After taking a round of antibiotics prescribed by the general physician, the swollen area had not changed so she went to an ENT.  He then treated her for Cat Scratch fever as she had been scratched by one of the stray cats she adopted. She completed another round of antibiotics, but it did not help.  The doctors then ordered a CT scan of the area and discovered another swollen lymph node on her collarbone so a CT scan of her chest was ordered. It was with this CT scan that the mass was discovered in her lungs. The pulmonary doctor feels sure that this is lung cancer. She is ready to begin the fight to kick cancer out!

   Hey everyone! We wanted to update everyone on Mom’s Celebration of Life Service. It will be held on Saturday, February 23rd from 1-5 at the Fatima Knights of Columbus Hall. The address is 111 Goodnight Dr. Lafayette, La 70506. From 1-3, it will be a visitation time. If you’d like to come pay your respects and leave, you may do so from 1-3. At three, we will begin our “service” for Mom. Feel free to show up at any time between 1-5. 







   We are planning on serving seafood and chicken and sausage gumbo and jamabalaya, along with some finger foods like sandwiches. We will have water and soft drinks available. If you are planning on attending and eating, please email me (lkkeely@gmail.com) and let me know how many will be attending with you. Please let me know no later than February 13th so we can let the caterer know.  If you have any pictures of Mom, please scan and send them to lkkeely@gmail.com. Also, if you’d like to attend,  but you are unable to for whatever reason, you can email anything you’d like to be read during the ceremony to that same email and I will make sure your message is read and shared with everyone. Please let me know if you can make it! ❤️❤️ Also, please share the information with anyone you think would want to know.
