Re: Sad news re: Beverly Colton

October 1, 2001

I am sorry to hear of her loss and saddened that I never got to know her as

one of our own.

This just reinforces the reality that so many of us reach out to each other

and that this list is larger than the just the amount of e mail we get each

day. It is also like a family dinner table, There are the loud intense

discussions, The softer napkin wiping discussions, The few that nod off

after the main meal but wake up for desert discussions. There are the few

who are always there to clean up the dishes type discussions but if ANYONE

pushes back their chair and leaves an empty spot, The entire table looks and

stands silent.

I hold my glass and raise a toast to ALL our family who sit at our table!!!

I'm sorry , I just feel so teary today and so happy to have known all of you

however so briefly.

I haven't been able to work on the computer for the past few months, so I'm

not sure if anyone was yet aware. Yesterday I received a call from someone

in our local EDS support group who informed me of the death of Beverly

Colton on 8/19/01. She joined ceda maybe 6 months ago or so, I beleive her

e-mail address was Beka@.... She was 40 years old, with EDS,

rheumatoid arthritis, and a previous history of cancer. For quite some time

she was suffering with congestive heart failure. The doctors kept saying

there was nothing that could be done, so she went home to enjoy whatever

time she had. She drove from LI, NY to some friends upstate and collapsed

when she got there. She died shortly thereafter. My condolences to

everyone who had the chance to know this strong, spunky, caring friend.
