Honorary Caregiver Will Share Her Story at Relay for Life
Ellen Humphrey recorded a blog of her husband’s last six months battling leukemia.
Last year, when her husband, Will Humphrey, was diagnosed with a rare type of blood cancer, Ellen Humphrey began her work as his caregiver.

That’s not the case with her grandmother, June Luvisi. At 79 years old, June is not only active on Facebook and Twitter but also spends much of her time blogging and sharing her art on “June Luvisi Art: Art and musings of an almost octogenarian.” “She’s really into it,” said Samantha, who helped her grandmother set up her blog at juneluvisiart.com. “She loves it.
