Hi Jeanna,
Your very sweet as always and I thank you for your heartfelt words...for Lizzy...and for me...
She was indeed a beautiful… vibrant and spunky lady…and she never…never gave up…she was always making plans for the future…she had wonderful creative ideas…not many people here would know that she was a strong advocate for those with disabilities…I was very proud of her and in awe of the energy she used for this good….this link will give you all just a glimpse of one of her passions…

And Jeanna… I do hope your new life…with marriage and a career in medicine… is bringing you much joy and fulfillment…I have a niece who was recently diagnosed with AS… and she is also going on to medical school
Just goes to show that although AS is a part of us… it does not…and should not ever… define us…
peace & love
Kathy
