A new medical issue for me.

Mindy, thank you so much for sharing Laura's letter with us. If you are in touch with the family please send my sincere condolences and let them know that Kendra was an inspiration to us all. Her grace and dignity had no bounds. Her optimism was contagious and we all thought that if anyone could beat cancer, Kendra could. We will all miss her.

If anyone would like me to pass on a message to the family you can email me at coltonwade@gmail.com and I will gather emails and send them to them in one big email. I think they will like that. or I am going to go to the house on Saturday maybe I can print them up for them and give them to them then , they might like that ?

Feel free to email me if you have any message for the family .

Thank you Mindy,

I echo Cindy's sentiments. I know that this is not the way Kendra would think, but how small and futile all of our cyberwishes seem now. Less than a year! Less than a year since the first signs of trouble appeared. How arbitrary life is, how mysterious and how often cruel.

How can I take that frank, friendly, upbeat voice I was lucky enough to hear over the phone a few times and make it part of my own, make it live through me? That's the question I sit here asking myself. Right now I just feel sad, sad and overwhelmed.

I am sitting with tears running down my face because I feel I have lost a friend. I never met or spoke to Kendra in person but we shared so much on here. Kendra was my band twin, banded on the same day as me and we were both born in the same year. She was a wonderful woman who inspired us all and never let on how hard it was for her going through this. I am shocked because I thought she was beating this thing. She will be sorely missed on here and I will remember her forever.

Mindy, I would be happy for you to pass this onto her family and let them know that my heart goes out to them at this very very sad time. They were lucky to have her as part of their lives as we were all. I wish I could have gotten to know her in person. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends.

I just can't believe this. Kendra had such spirit, you could just tell she was someone special. I'm so unbelievably sorry, shocked and saddened.

Just a reminder today is the "memorial" service ( im not sure what they are calling it) the family is having at their house for Kendra. Just please keep them in your thoughts today .

It will be a difficult day I am sure .

No words can convey how sorry I am right now. I haven't been on our site in a while. I just can't believe this has happened. My prayers go out to her family & to each of you, her friends that lifted her spirits & helped her fight.

God be with each of you.
