Dear Heather

There are no words to convey what I'm feeling for you and your family. My sister was only 19 when she was taken from us in a car accident. There is no greater tragedy than a parent having to bury their child. Thank you very much for taking the time to let us know. Your moyamoya.com family join you in mourning the passing on of one of our own.

There might be thousands of miles between us but we're only a few keyboard strokes away.

Mark (Luca's very sad Dad)

thank you all

You can shed tears that she is gone or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back or you can open your eyes and see all she's left Your heart can be empty because you can't see her or you can be full of the love you shared.You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.You can remember her and only that she's gone or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back or you can do what she'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

Heather,

Please accept my sincere sympathy to you and your family in the loss of Emily. 

Your most recent post is beautiful and Emily will always hold a special place in your heart.

I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Dear Heather,

I have no words, I don't know what to say, I'm so sorry ... I read the message on Friday, this Saturday my two children made their first communion, and I thought of you and Emily that day, I have had you the whole weekend in my thoughts. God Bless.

That is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen someone say about the loss that you have had to endure.  My prayers are with you and your family.  I want nothing more than to to tell you how sorry I am...along with everyone else here.  But its like you said, we can shed tears that she's gone, or we can smile because she lived. 

God loves us all Heather, never forget that.  Even when He chooses to take someone we love so much away.  This is your testimony.  Share it proudly. 

God bless you

Under His authority,

Fred
