    "comment": "From Brenda (for friends lost):\n\nI’ve been listening closely to your recent theme on lives lost to cancer, and I wanted to share a thread of love that’s been woven through mine. I am going to see my childhood best friend Roberta for the last time💔\n\nMy dear friend Roberta, who is now unresponsive, once told me I was her first best friend. It was the kindest thing I’ve heard in years—and it reminded me how deeply we can matter to someone, even when words feel simple.\n\nIn 1994, my high school mentor passed from cancer. She was one of the few people who made me feel safe and seen during a time I didn’t know how to ask for it.\n\nAnd in December 2024, the longest-standing friend of my adult life also passed from cancer.\n\nThese women gave me meaning. They gave me sanctuary. And while I don’t want this message to be about me, I do wonder what it says—that love like theirs keeps echoing, even as they go quiet.\n\nMaybe it’s a reminder that being someone’s safe place is the most lasting legacy we can offer.\n\nThank you for holding space for these stories.\n\nThe last song I shared was with Roberta, a song that was popular when we were growing up by Toto, I'll be Over You.\n\nI Shared a lot of songs with my mentor Marylin, that kept us connected but she loved More Than Words by Extreme.\n\nFor Shelly I shared this song with her often and we saw the live show together, Say Hey (I love you) by Michael Franti & Spearhead.",
