Dara’s New Journey Begins….

As some of you know, and some may not, Dara has lost her battle with breast cancer. She has moved into a place where there is no cancer and no pain. She passed away this past Friday in McKee Hospital in Loveland, Colorado after only a brief stay. She was surrounded by family and friends… most of all, love.

For those who need details, I will only say that the cancer that has spread to her liver progressed at a rate that could not be handled. There is nothing else that needs to be said or shared.

Dara would hope that everyone would remember her as the spunky-fun loving gal that had a zest for life. They would remember a loyal friend, a loving family member, or a caring mom.

I can not speak for all, but I consider myself one of the luckiest people on this great earth, for knowing Dara and having a chance to learn how to love from her and how to enjoy life. To Jane and me, she is a pillar of courage, and that is what I want to remember her by.

Thanks for all the love, prayers, and energy that you all have shared. I know that you have soothed her and helped pave the way to a road with fewer bumps, being led to a better place by a sturdy hand. For that, we are grateful.

To respond only as Dara could …

Love and Peace,
Chris and Jane
