Brothers and sisters of the .oRg:
It is with seriously mixed emotions that I write this to you.
Levi William Brown, aged 1.25 years, passed away this afternoon at just around 4pm (West Coast). He leaves behind, grieving, his parents, Kevin and Katy, and a brother, Colton.
As I'm confident any of you who have been keeping up with this battle through the threads (entitled Tough Situation and Little Levi on this forum) will agree, Levi's passing brings both enormous sorrow and incredible relief, hence my own mixed emotions.
We, the survivors, our hearts heavy for the loss, our minds completely confused by the unfairness of Levi's affliction and resultantly short life, must find it in our fiber to experience the relief from his battle, and celebrate the joy he brought to those whose lives he touched.
Please take a moment to reply to this thread and offer Jeffery (jefferycarman) and his wife, Sarah (busawife) (Levi's uncle and aunt), your words of condolence, wisdom, and comfort. Many details still need to be worked out and this remains a very tender time for the family. Your support is so important to them.
Rest in Peace, Levi. You will never be forgotten.
I know many of you are interested in assisting the family through this extraordinarly difficult time. Anyone wanting to make a donation to help the family may do so by sending them by PayPal directly to jefferycarman@yahoo.com. The window for donations will be open starting immediately through Tuesday, 30SEP08 (two weeks). The money raised will be utilized to provide the family some time away from home; day-trip, weekend, whatever. As a caveat, I must add that no one should feel obligated to contribute. This effort is only from our hearts.
Lastly, I am without words sufficient to explain how grateful I am to Jeffery and Sarah for trusting me to be their front-man for the last few days. Your belief in me affects me at my core. Thank you. What you need, when you need it, I am here.
