Alexa has a new friend in heaven with her now. Connor Cruse - a handsome boy we know from our NB circle left this world today. Although we did not know his family well, we have met Connor and have shared a dinner table with his parents at fundraisers and have followed each other's journeys along the way. What struck me most as I read the words on his caringbridge site today was how much I hate knowing how his family feels. Another incredibly bereaved mother is feeling the intense loss of her child. Another father, another sibling, another cousin, another granparent, another friend. More lives shattered, never to mend.
Another child has died and the killer is still out there. When will this end? Enough. Please don't take another one of our children.
I hate you, Neuroblastoma. I hate you!!!!!

Alexa, take good care of our sweet friend. Show him around and maybe you can teach him how to talk to his mommy like you talk to me in my heart. Give him a hug for all of us.
