\"melita-matt3\"I received a sad note a couple of days ago from the Van Tharp Institute that my friend, Melita Hunt of MyLeftLung.com<\/a>, lost her battle against lung cancer and died at the young age of 41. It pains me especially because she never even smoked.<\/p>\n

She valiantly fought the disease here in the U.S. but eventually went back to her country, Australia, to rejoin her family in the final weeks.<\/p>\n

She brought many things into my life during our years as friends. I will miss her.<\/p>\n

Melita, rest in peace. You will be remembered.<\/p>\n
