CC is appreciated. I'm not used to piling on the elements, and I like Jeanet's layout better!!! Help!



The journaling reads:

Mom, Eloise Wilcox Stoneman, was the only secretary in the Political Science Department at the University of Wyoming, where this photo was taken, for 18 years until she retired at the age of 63. Twenty years later, she was diagnosed with colon cancer. Her response? "It can happen to anyone. Why not me?" She went shopping before her surgery and bought a new place setting of dishes. She set the table with these to use when she returned home. She had been walking four miles a day, so she was in good physical condition. Her doctor dismissed her from the hospital days before he had planned. Mom refused the offer of a wheelchair, walked out, went home, and ordered in pizza. Mom remained cancer free for the rest of her life. She had been born on Valentines Day, lived a full life, and died on the Fourth of July at age 93.
