My pastor's wife lead a Lysa Terkeurst's "Made to Crave" Bible Study. Additional study online lead me to even more of her material. A prayer request for Gitz lead me to Gitz's blog and finally to you. Your story had me praying for you and periodically checking in to see how you are doing. Maybe it's how you handle it or maybe it's because I have two boys also. This January I was diagnosed with Leukemia. Somewhere in the middle of it, I wondered if there was another person with the same diagnosis undergoing similar treatment. Yes, there indeed is. Although I would not wish this six letter word on anyone, I'm thankful there are bloggers out there "making lemonade out of lemons" and sharing the experience. God bless you.<br />Sincerely,<br />Donna DonnaBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16191978009989427997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-75073182938767887062014-05-15T10:32:28.390-05:002014-05-15T10:32:28.390-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.DonnaBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16191978009989427997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-46304555935322819382014-05-14T14:14:38.507-05:002014-05-14T14:14:38.507-05:00Dearest Vicky,

I miss<br />her so... her humor, her resilience, her open heart, her courage, her sweet puppy love.<br />Gitz changed the world and didn't have to leave her apartment to do it. She radiated His love<br />in all of her signs and messages of hope. Thanks for remembering her heavenly birthday!<br /><br />Blessings to you, dear Vicky. And prayers...always prayers.<br />God Bless!<br />Love, LindaLinda Seppa Salisburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13336969827398454131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-27320812782342660932014-05-14T13:49:23.616-05:002014-05-14T13:49:23.616-05:00I count myself blessed that Sara and I got to exch...I count myself blessed that Sara and I got to exchange emails and prayer requests and that I have two of her paintings which I will treasure always. Looking forward to getting to spend time with her in Heaven. We all knew she was severely limited and faced hard battles each day but her death hit me like a prizefighters punch. She was so young and vital in her spirit and example. Miss her and her writing and I'm celebrating her life with you. Waiting to hear your update and praying.

The first time you mentioned 'Gitz' I went to her blog and read and read...and of course I couldn't read it all...but I will go back and read more. She touched your heart and soul and so many others, and she touched mine, even tho I only got to know her after she was taken home...What a truly beautiful soul, what a gift to all of us, what a amazing spirit! a true earthly angel. Seeing the pictures again of your trip..to go by and visit ...and I remember how your superman...drove you miles of course so that you could..is a testament to how she impacted Life! I think I would want to go too....this brought tears, because that kind of human spirit we need more off..and i am humbled honored that I got to know her through your blog..Thank you so much for sharing her with us. Happy Birthday Beautiful Sara! I see her smiling down on you...to be remembered in such a way... Much love to you Vicky! this so touched me again!

I would have liked to have known her too. I was among those in the world who missed this beautiful soul as she passed through for a time to make the impact only she could make.
