We lost a bright light and a dear friend on January 2, 2017.  Della was the life of the party and the party in most of our lives.  She was as bright as the sun and lived each minute with a full heart.  For those that she loved (and there were many) she accepted no compromise in those relationships.  She loved with all of her heart!  

She and Pat have been dear friends to Mark and I for over 2 decades and we pray that Pat and Nick find peace somewhere in all of this.

At Pat's request, I have set up a Memorial Page for Della and hope that you will join Mark and I in contributing to the support of The Brain Aneurysm Foundation.

The Brain Aneurysm Foundation is the world's only nonprofit organization solely dedicated to providing critical awareness, education, support and research funding to reduce the incidence of brain aneurysm ruptures. 

All proceeds go towards:

• Funding and supporting new research.
• Providing support and educational materials to the medical community, the newly diagnosed, survivors, family members, friends and the general public regarding the facts, treatment options, and recovery process for brain aneurysms. 
• Increasing awareness of brain aneurysms by promoting National Brain Aneurysm Awareness Month in September and by distributing aneurysm awareness materials to Emergency Departments in every hospital and to the community. 
• All donations are tax-deductible and every dollar raised goes to help support the mission of the Brain Aneurysm Foundation. 

If you cannot make a donation at this time, please forward this e-mail and link to everyone you know. Post this on your Facebook and Twitter pages. Every donation counts, no matter what the amount. 

Losing Della has been devastating. Yet, we are always reminded by our hearts – how lucky we have been to know her even in our loss.

Thank you for your thoughtfulness. Your generosity and support is greatly appreciated by Pat and Nick.

Many Thanks,

Mark and Jenny Reed
