Sad message: Nella Martinetti has cancer

[drove all night]

Found a sad message in the Web:

 

Nella Martinetti (63), the woman who wrote the word's of Celine's "Ne partez pas sans moi" suffers of pancreatic cancer (the same kind of cancer of which Patrick Swayze recently died) and is "doesn't look good" as she said in an interview for a German newspaper. She only hopes that she will die in sleep without much pain. - OMG! I'm sure Celine's devasted about that news.

 

And I'm too. Because her song brought me to Celine. I remember recording it right before my TV with a simple cassette recorder as Celine won in 1988 the Eurovision Songcontest -

. And I played that cassette over and over again - until the tape was thin and ripped. Oh, Nella! I think of you and I send you power to get through all of this without too much pain ...

Ohh poor her! I wish her all the strenght in the world!!

What do you make of it, if we send her some wishes from here in the forum. I would put them together and send then to the newspaper - I'm sure they would send them over to her?

That is sad news....

 

But I hope that she takes on this horrible illness and defeats it.

Her lyrics to the song are simply magical.
