She was admired by most and was an encouraging example to many. She enjoyed being a volunteer with the American Cancer Society. She will be missed by all. "In order for cancer to win it would have to be able to follow me beyond the grave, and it can't. Because while I have cancer; cancer does not have me! The disease can take my cells, but it cannot take my self. Cancer can have my hair but it cannot have my heart and it may be able to claim my breast, but it can NEVER claim my spirit!" -Nicole Johnson, Women of Faith.
