This hand-built and hand &quot;painted&quot; (glazed) pottery piece was made in the Clay Group at Piedmont-Fayette Cancer Wellness Center. Dixie often gifted her clay pieces to friends and family as was this piece which has become part of her legacy. Dixie unexpectedly passed with a non-cancer related surgery complication. We miss her dearly and hope that she is enjoying her piece of spiritual paradise.

Alice was an endearing, dedicated-regular participant of the clay group at Piedmont-Fayette Cancer Wellness Center. She most often made ceramic pieces that she gifted to friends and family. This hot air balloon made in clay and glazed was gifted to her dear friend Carol who is an avid Hot Air Enthusiast. Alice&#39;s clay pieces have become part of her legacy now that she has passed, illustrating her loving, generous nature.

Carol's Hot Air Balloon 

I have had treatment for breast cancer four times over the past 20 years. Each time is a little bit different so it is a whirlwind of learning as much as I can as fast as I can in order to make treatment decisions. The whirlwind continues when going through treatment. I think I live my post active cancer life in a whirlwind as well, trying to take advantage of all life has to offer.
