However, not everyone in attendance was celebrating.

“In May, I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer stage four,” says Evelyn Fehr, of Springfield, Ont.

“Right now, there's not a cure for that.”

Fehr, who beat breast cancer five years ago, is about to go through it all again, but this time the prognosis isn't as good.

“It’s still fresh for us,” says Fehr.

“I want to be there for their (her children) graduation, wedding, everything. We don't know that. Truly, we believe in God, so we believe it's God's plan. Whatever he wants and how long he has for me here on earth, I will take every day one at a time.”
