We went to the same church in Toronto (Harvest Bible Chapel - York Region), grew in the same small group, ate sushi together, and were pretty good friends.
She has been fighting cancer for the past few years. Late last night, she died... She is with the Lord in Heaven now... :( She was about 23.
I want you to know that she redefined what it means to beat cancer for me. So often we think that beating cancer means that we beat the odds and live through it. But she showed everyone that it means something else.
Though we have shed many tears together, though her pain was seemingly constant through it all, though everything seemed hopeless... her hope was truly inspiring, her strength edifying, and her joy infectious.
To all reading this, I want you to know that to beat cancer is to find hope in Heaven, to find strength in Christ, and to find joy in God's presence.
This is Jacqueline Li. She beat cancer.
