Gonny, Like so many others, you dont know me, but nevertheless have had such an emotional impact on me that I find myself in tears and compelled to write to you and I just cant understand why. Im struggling at this moment trying to decide whether its appropriate, for fear it is because I struggle with my own mortality. The profound impact you have had on so many people is absolutely remarkable, possibly most whom you have never met in person, not unlike the impact Jesus had on his followers, even to this day. So many thoughts have been swimming through my head since I first read of your decision and I have been consumed with praying for a miracle for you because the world needs more people like you who lead by example and kindness. I can only imagine that you must have a deep relationship with God, to have accepted death as it seems you have. I admire this greatly since I struggle with my own faith on a daily basis and wonder how it will look when it is time for me to leave this physical world. Will I be afraid? Will I have found everlasting faith in God so that I can accept it rather than fear it? I completely apologize if you do not believe in God, although it would be difficult for me to believe that you dont since you have accepted this so seemingly graciously and unselfishly. While I never had the good fortune of meeting you, your presence is larger than life and your kindness toward people and animals has manifested itself through the outpouring of prayers and emotions for you the world over. I would have been proud to be considered a friend of yours and honored to have known someone so benevolent. You are on the hearts and minds of so many praying for you. As peculiar as it may seem, some of the lyrics to Elton Johns Candle in the Wind keep coming to mind: Though I never knew you at all You had the grace to hold yourself While those around you crawled... And I would have liked to have known you... Your candle burned out long before Your legend ever did... To your family… I have the greatest respect and admiration for your unselfishness and strength to respect Gonnys decision to free herself of the pain and suffering and go with God to a place where there is no disease, pain, suffering, war or hate... My prayers are with you all. May Gods will be done and may you be covered in His grace and go in peace knowing you are loved by so many…
