"...an incredibly strong woman"

I'm about to head off to Columbus. Steve and Lisa cancelled their movie night trip and Tim unfortunately can't get out of work to go with me. This has been the longest week with every day dragging on without focus. I've cut/pasted the obituary from the Columbus Dispatch below:

BALL (Michael) Erica (Michael) Ball, age 34, of Galloway, passed away peacefully at her home early Sunday morning, July 8, 2007. She was born December 14, 1972 in Columbus and was a graduate of Hilliard High School. She attended The Ohio State University and was a Sales Supervisor in home lending for J.P. Morgan Chase. Erica was an incredibly strong woman who ended her battle with cancer after fighting for eight years. Erica is survived by her parents, James and Elvira Michael of Hilliard. Erica has two children, Matthew McNamee, 18, and Cassidy Ball, 11. Also survived by her husband, Trevor Ball; brother, Frank Michael; sisters, Laura Erwin and Marla Michael. Erica will be missed and loved by them as well as her many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins and friends. Family and friends may call 4-8 p.m. WEDNESDAY at THE JOHN QUINT TREBONI FUNERAL HOME, 1177 W. 5th Avenue. Funeral 10:30 a.m. THURSDAY, St. Christopher Catholic Church, 1420 Grandview Avenue. Rev.
