Guest guest Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Dear Joan,I am so sorry for you and these parents. I can't imagine. My son lost a school friend with DS a few weeks ago. She had been very healthy, experienced flu like symptoms for a few days and died. It's so sad.CharlyneSubject: Another loss in our communityTo: Date: Thursday, February 23, 2012, 5:28 PM HI all,Losing two young people who have touched my life in 3 days is hard.Today we lost Janet Kay Zaborek, the daughter of Robin Zaborek who founded the Down Syndrome-Autism Connection in Colorado.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Charlyne, that's so scary! And sad. :(There was a school bus accident a week ago, not too far from here. An 11-year-old girl was killed, and her two sisters (they were triplets) and another boy were in critical condition early this week. I believe one sister has been stabilized, not sure about the other. The dad is a state trooper and heard the accident. It's just awful and tragic. I am hugging my kids right every time I put them on the bus. Accidents, illnesses, what a crazy world we live in. Charlyne, I'm sorry for your son's friend. :(Sent from my iPhone Dear Joan,I am so sorry for you and these parents. I can't imagine. My son lost a school friend with DS a few weeks ago.
