orb Posted August 29, 2008 Hi all, this is the saddest of the news - but a great inspiration for us. If you haven't read it yet here's the link. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080829/ap_on_re_us/obit_warren Here's a woman with the strength and perseverence at age 65 to participate in really tough sports. Then a family that obviously loves her: Her husband and kids, and the special bond of a twin. Barbara sounds as if she lived life to the fullest, and then when a tragic accident paralyzed her body, she knew it was time to leave this life. What courage for her to communicate to her family that she wanted to die, and what courage for the family to understand and honor her wish - and let her go. Standing by her, laying by her side, letting her go. May God bless her Soul, and all of ours. V/R, Orb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
