Howard thank you for your condolences.  I wanted to see if you could post the attached document on the class web site.  Since her death we have been contacted by people all over who our daughter had helped.  It is amazing that the New York Times wrote an obituary on our daughter and it was picked up by the Boston Globe last Friday.  The Times has said that they have been notified that many papers across the country intend to republish the obituary.

The document that I am attaching was written by our daughter when she was at  UCP National in Washington.  It was intended for parents who had just found out their child had a disability and according to reports we have gotten it has helped many parents deal with the news and gave them some place to begin a successful process of dealing with their child and its disability.  It may help a classmate who may have a grandchild born with a disability.
