Dear Michael & Christina,
Your experience with Alexandra through her illness
especially touched my heart, since I had a neice who recently
passed away from a genetic disorder in February, 2002.
I watched my own sister and brother-in-law go through
similar emotions as you have gone through.
Shannon was, with all of her handicaps, a blessing
to our family. She was our Angel on Earth and surely helped us
to realize not to take one day, one minute of our own live for
granted. Her mother and father, Joan and Patrick O'Lear, are also
examples to us, as I am sure you both are to your family and friends,
such special people who have such special children that they love
UNCONDITIONALLY!
After giving these children 24 hours a day care
and love, I know how exhausted you must be. But I wanted to let
you know that my prayers are with you for continued strength and
courage and health, and also for your daughter Brooke and your
families as you see Alexandra through her illness.
God Bless You,
Kathi Quinn
