The way you and Annie both shined on your perfect wedding day, how your writing so precisely captures pain, beauty and uncertainty, and and the way your spirit is so lovingly captured by your many fans in these posts. You are totally out of Annie's league! Kidding :). As a life long fan of Annie and the rest of the Clarke family, I have no doubt that i will continue to like you more and more in the years to come. Much love, much peace, much company to you and to Annie.<br />~EmilyEmily LeBlancnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4527294412909084110.post-21295205653870932532012-01-28T18:45:47.725-08:002012-01-28T18:45:47.725-08:00Kia has passed tonight, Saturday, Jan. 28th.

I have known you since you ...OH Sweet, Dear Kia...<br /> I have known you since you were probably only eight years old. My fondest memories come from the many summer days you spent with us. We knew that precisely at 10:00 am, you would call and say you were ready to come and spend the day. (Your dad always had you doing something academic before you came to our house.) Then you, Eric and Kristin spent endless hours building forts inside or out, making the funniest videos, and swimming. I treated you as one of my own, and love the time you spent with us. <br /> Happy memories are also found from the many many Sunday mornings we spent together going to church and usually Taco Bell afterwards. Where did the time go??? When did you all grow up??? <br /> You are someone special.. and you have been in my daily prayers. I pray for God's wisdom in dealing with this incredible trial, and for your hope in God to bring you peace. <br />Love you.<br />JoanneJoannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4527294412909084110.post-62549653535775336092012-01-27T13:12:09.414-08:002012-01-27T13:12:09.414-08:00Kia,

I was very sad to learn about your battle with cancer via mutual friends on facebook. I started following your blog a few months ago. It's wonderful to see that you still, even when ill, have that gorgeous infectious smile! You have always been the kind of person who made people happy by just being around. Thank you for sharing your journey and so eloquently. Having recently lost my stepfather to cancer, I especially commend you for your grace and optimism. No matter how the journey ends, it's a better way to live. I will continue to keep you in my thoughts, prayers and dedicate many a yoga practices to you so that you may find healing and peace. <br /><br />With love, <br /><br />Ellie Lloydelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13470738912399582797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4527294412909084110.post-68955949160736340172012-01-27T07:30:24.268-08:002012-01-27T07:30:24.268-08:00I so often think about my sweet friend Kia from th...I so often think about my sweet friend Kia from the CityBeat days.

I am so happy you and Annie moved upstairs from me and kept PARKING IN MY SPACE!! :) While it might've started out weird – and who are we kidding, I guess it did – obviously it turned into something great. You've helped me through so much and always had my best interests at heart. And it's really meant the world to me. Honestly. It has been so important to making me who I am now. I'll always cherish our camping trip. The three of us sitting by the river, reading, taking some time to reflect. Helping me with the video even when you thought I was nuts?? (and granted, you weren't necessarily wrong there) can only be described as what it is – an amazing gift. Thank you for being you, thank you for writing this blog –and the manifesto, of course :-), thank you for making me laugh, thank you for listening, thank you for everything. I love you.Scott Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12022298878451528343noreply@blogger.com
