It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Nadia Francois. Nadia was deeply loved by her family, cherished by her friends, and respected throughout the community she so faithfully served.

🌸 Survivor Spotlight 🌸

Today, on the last day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we honor Mary Allbritton, a breast cancer survivor whose journey reflects courage, resilience, and hope. 💗

I was diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer in November 2024. I watched my daughter fight the disease and I was determined to fight it as well. I underwent aa lumpectomy and 5 radiation treatments in May of 2025 and I'm now cancer-free. I would like to encourage every woman to do self-breast examinations and if it doesn't feel right go to the doctor.

Today, we honor NaQuellar Thompson, a breast cancer survivor whose journey reflects courage, resilience, and hope. 💗

I was diagnosed at 37 years old with Stage III breast cancer. I faced one of the hardest battles of my life. What was supposed to be a joyful time for my family, because we'd just welcomed our youngest son into the world, now 5 months later, we were facing the unknown. After a full year of chemotherapy and 5 weeks of radiation, we were finally free of cancer and the treatments that it entailed.

If you're facing a cancer diagnosis, my advice to you is to activate your faith and depend on those around you for strength.

🌸 Survivor Spotlight 🌸

Today, we honor Ms. Diatrise Self, a breast cancer survivor whose journey reflects courage, resilience, and hope. 💗

Mrs. Diatrise Self, a gift from God, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2000. During her diagnosis and treatment, her faith never waivered. Mrs. Self isn't just a survivor, but a wife, mother, grandma and bonus mom to many. The embracing love she gives is felt throughout her community by showing compassion, grace, strength and resilience. She donates her time and hot meals to warm our souls and our bodies. Called Mrs. Dee by some, but she's the glue that holds her family together. Mrs. Self encourages anyone to believe that God has all power in His hand and to never lose faith.💖
