As I mentioned earlier, one of my most revered blog writers tragically passed away in November. I am just stunned by her death as she was about the age of my Mom. She came home from a trip one day, sat down in a chair and had a stroke just before her husband left for the weekend. She was an amazing woman and wrote about most of her life on her blog. She had nine kids naturally. After her final child was diagnosed with down syndrome, she and her husband decided to adopt 3 more down syndrome children.
Mer and I first heard about her when one of her daughters was in the pre-finals of American Idol. After reading her remarks on so many subjects over the years and developing a real respect for her opinion, I am truly stunned by her death.
I invite you all to take a look at her website that her widower husband is now maintaining. It was always such a resource and I would like to invite all of you to take a look at the older www.mommylife.net posts and see if there is any information that any of you would find helpful. There are tidbits on big families, down syndrome and just living out your Catholic faith in whatever way possible.
I will truly miss you Barbara Curtis. May God have mercy on your soul.
