In Memoriam: Laura Whitworth

We have lost a friend, a teacher, a visionary, a fighter for life, hers and ours.

After a long and dedicated battle with lung cancer, our beloved co-founder Laura Whitworth died today, February 28, 2007.

We grieve her passing at the same time we celebrate her extraordinary life. That, after all, was what Laura was all about: Life. Fully lived. She was fierce for that and unrelenting. And with that stake she changed the world, yours and mine. If you are reading this you are one of thousands around the world whose life is different because of her.

We will post more information about ways to honor Laura's life as information is available. For now, please feel free to respond to Laura's blog: http://laurawhitworth.blogspot.com

With deep sadness,
Karen and Henry Kimsey-House
