There are a few new photos in a September photo album.
(No improvement for Laura, yet. She’s having worse trouble throughout the day with vomiting. Will be talking to oncologist tomorrow for coping tips.)

This site is dedicated to the memory of Laura and is now mostly an archive of her 15-month struggle with cancer as told by her husband David and other family. A brief background of her case is found in the About section. Family photos dating back five years can be found in the main photos section. There are two slideshow retrospectives of Laura throughout her life. A collaborative tribute effort is woefully incomplete and I encourage your help.

Hi David & Laura, thought I would share a good recipe that was given to me by a lady that was taking chemo back in the spring…her mother cooked this for friends and neighbors when someone was sick and she swore by it…she was eating it a lot during her chemo when she had trouble eating solid foods….Momma helped me “tweak it a bit” and of course we used “fresh” eggs from Poppa’s chickens! It is sort of a thin custard, full of protein and sugar…
Step 1.Scald 2 cups of whole milk in the microwave, cooking for about 3 minutes (don’t let it boil over), Step 2. Stir together 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup whole milk, 3 egg yolks, 3 Tablespooons cornstarch and a pinch of salt. Step 3. Pour scaled milk in the egg mixture and stir together. Step 4. Pour into a double boiler and cook to the consistency best for eating(Thin or Thick) Step 5. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla and 1 Tablespoon of butter(optional).
If you want to make this a chocolate mixture, add 2-3 Tablespoons of cocoa into the egg/sugar mixture.
Maybe this will be something nourishing and something easy to eat/drink. Wish we could make it and bring it to you. love Janice
