Re: Emelie

Emelie,

I just cannot convey how much you have touched my life. You are simply an amazing woman who has faced the one thing in life many of us fear with grace and peace. I think of you often and all though I am not on the board much anymore, seek your postings to see how you are doing.

I'm not sure what my future holds with this disease but whatever happens, I have learned from your example to be brave and embrace every moment I breath while on this earth.

My love and prayers to you as you move through your journey. Your imprint will always be in my heart.

Jessica
