Do we Death/all know how much everything we do effects others?

A great fellow chiarian died on Saturday Oct. 10th she lost her fight with this terrible disease., Kelly Morill who was the head of the Utah chiari connection passed away. She fought long and hard,  but she lost her fight. From what I understand she suffered terribly, will you join me in wishing her family the best and everyone vow to follow her plight she was working with the governer to acknowledge our rights and make things easier for families afflicted by this disease. I think all of us this hits too close to home, the thought of living through the agony of daily life but , knowing it could be us may we all follow in her footsteps of doing for others even when we are such great need ourselves.
Bless the Morills and bless allof you that are suffering , a prayer, a moment of silence, for those whom we care/
Amen

What a beautiful poem, Jean.

If I may, I would just add a few words from "Tuesdays with Morrie" which have proved a comfort to me....

"Death ends a life; not a relationship".

My deepest heartfelt prayers and sympathies go out to Kelly's family and friends.
Having just "met" Kelly through words; I could see what a blessing she has been to so many.

Kelly, we will not forget you. We will pick up your baton and finish the race.

May God shelter those left behind with His umbrella of grace and keep you in His tender and perfect care.

I am a few days late in sending this...but I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to Kelly's family & to all those who feel her loss.  Let them find comfort in knowing that we care about them just as Kelly has cared about all of us. She was a great blessing to our cause. I would like to share this poem in memory of Kelly & all the great work she's done:
God saw that you were getting tired
And a cure was not to be.
So He put his arms around you,
And whispered, “Come to Me.”

With tearful eyes we watched you
And saw you pass away.
Although we love you dearly,
We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands laid to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.                                      ***Jean

I am very saddened to hear this!  The Chiari world has truly lost a voice, and I pray that her family will be comforted by knowing what a brave and valliant woman that Kelly was.

May the Lord bring peace and comfort to the grieving hearts that are missing Kelly!
