I have been off-line for a couple of years. I logged on tonight to my blog and checked Daria's site, only to learn of her death. My thoughts and prayers are with you even now four years after her passing. Thank you for posting a lasting tribute for us all to read and remember her. I loved the photos on the link at the funeral home. There were so many positive photographs that tell the story of a brave woman who had found love and contributed so much to life.<br /><br />I know she is at peace. Much love to you,<br /><br />Tamara Slater<br />Blog: Life has a New PerspectiveTamara M Slaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01431329497598298717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3479782985101649883.post-13931908779665680742015-01-23T11:01:33.032-07:002015-01-23T11:01:33.032-07:00Dear Daria:

Since i went back to work a year ago, I have not kept up with my blog or my blogging friends, just checking in every few months. I am doing a 'challenge for life' walk in Winnipeg in June to raise money and awareness for all cancers. I would be honored to put her name on my shirt. Take care, Daria was a good soul.<br />Beth.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02364706890012512947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3479782985101649883.post-89710890036735612732011-03-01T10:59:54.137-07:002011-03-01T10:59:54.137-07:00Dear Don,

Daria was a special Internet friend and I loved reading her posts and I will never forget her participation in a story I wrote on my blog when a fellow tongue cancer patient was nearing his end. She helped with an interview of this dying man helping to create an amazing story.<br /><br />I know it seems strange that someone you've never met can affect you so deeply, but as I write this I stream tears. I took a long break away from blogging to try to live a normal life for awhile since I am still cancer free. As I returned to the web to catch up with all my cancer buddies, I sadly found that Daria was gone. I am so overwhelmed with grief. <br /><br />Some cancer bloggers you look up to and they seem invincible though they have been through so much you gather strength knowing they have survived, It gives you a peace and strength knowing that you can survive also. Then when such a friend is lost, it brings for the terrible reality that we are not invincible and cancer does take lives sometimes without notice, while others take years.<br /><br />Daria seemed to be a happy, caring, with a big heart. She must have been a wonderful wife and mother. I only wish I had the opportunity to meet her in person.<br /><br />God Bless you and your family. I will deeply miss Daria's updates.<br /><br /><br />Peace <br />Brain WalinDr. Swillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05054768538653182642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3479782985101649883.post-75179022386654470822011-02-03T08:15:17.101-07:002011-02-03T08:15:17.101-07:00Don and Family,

I am sorry for your loss and I do hope your many memories help you through the difficult days ahead. I don't want this to sound inappropriate, but I posted about Daria at nancyspoint a week or so ago. I tell you this because at some point you may like to read all the comments people left about Daria.

This, in itself, was a huge gift - but it speaks of her great spirit that I know she did the same for many, many others. I know there were many of us who couldn't come to the memorial service in person, but we were there in spirit, as she has been there for us. She will be greatly missed.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11442325235793131536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3479782985101649883.post-57401717046140784802011-01-29T15:49:00.208-07:002011-01-29T15:49:00.208-07:00A beautiful, well-deserved tribute to an incredibl...A beautiful, well-deserved tribute to an incredible lady.
