Thank You, Team Chelsey!

"We cannot do great things on this Earth,
only small things with great love."
--Mother Theresa

What an incredible day with "great love"....Enveloped by the warmth of the morning sunshine, Team Chelsey set out to share her bright spirit and the warmth of her memory. They accomplished just that....with much joy and happiness. So, what more do we, her family, say other than thank you, just simply thank you....

During the last 4 months we have been humbled and ever so grateful for the encouragement each of you has been to us. Your outpouring of love and kindness has been an instrumental part in this long and arduous healing process that continues each day. Team Chelsey has been one of those instrumental parts. Thank you for allowing us to share this with you. And, now in Chelsey's absence, we are likely more keenly aware of her presence. Although her earthly time with us was short, it was a gift. She shared this "gift" by loving each of you and living every minute with love, grace, humility, and gratitude. That is the gift we would like to continue to share. The spirit of living that we would like to carry on....her "spirit of living."

Through your generous contributions to the scholarship fund, we will be able to continue to share her love and encourage her "spirit of living." Thank you. So....there are already plans for making "Team Chelsey" an annual event. Get your running shoes ready for "Team Chelsey 2009!" One final thought that Chelsey would want each of you to remember:

Life is short,
Break the rules,
Forgive quickly,
Kiss slowly,
Love truly,
Laugh uncontrollably,
And never regret anything that made you
Smile!
