I happened on your blog while looking for further entries about my niece, Devon Markert, who passed away 2 weeks ago. <BR/>Devon was 28, so we were blessed to have a few more years to watch her blossom into an amazing young woman.<BR/>I felt compelled to reach out to you, dealing with your loss with beautiful words, struggling to find meaning through the grief and pain. I wanted to thank you for sharing, for inspiring. <BR/>We are linked across a continent, by loss of a loved one at too early an age, linked by a common name, linked by a love of words, poetry, reading, libraries, books. Establishing a book fund is a wonderful way to carry forward your daughter's spirit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387129716684348468.post-80797528186391373672008-05-16T18:07:00.000-04:002008-05-16T18:07:00.000-04:00Dear Chloe,It is good to hear from you, and to kno...Dear Chloe,<BR/><BR/>It is good to hear from you, and to know that you are stopping by to read.

I will send a check, but perhaps if there were a link. I want very much to see the video back and am so glad you have pulled the expiration. Your site is priceless in it's collection of pictures and written material to keep our beautiful Elizabeth alive. I am so grateful to be able to access this site and spend time with her. It really is a privilege that you have offered us.

Remembering Elizabeth's life is a pleasure, despite the actute pain of her death. I find it meaningful to see/hear how you're doing, through your poetry and other contributions.<BR/>If an expiration date is something you choose, I understand - but will miss this collection of photos, your poems, her words.<BR/><BR/>xo<BR/>anneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
