Signing off for a bit

By  Chloe DiVita

I will be disappearing from the blog world and business world for the next week or so. Today at about 2:15pm Leigh passed away. She was never in any pain, so I am grateful for that. I also happened to call about 10 minutes prior and was on the phone when it happened. The phone was put to her ear so I could tell her I loved her, and I will hope and believe that she knew I was with her at that moment.

Tomorrow morning I am headed to

Chicago

to offer help and support in preparing for the services. Thank you to everyone who has been patient, understanding, and supportive over the past few months while I did everything I could to be with Leigh and help her. Without the support I have been given I would not have been able to be with her as much as I was, and those are moments I will remember and cherish for the rest of my life.

Please be well, and don’t forget the good things in life. As I’ve said before, Leigh would want me to be sure and appreciate all that I have, and I plan on continuing to do that. I hope each of you does the same.

Until next time…

Dear Chloe,
My heart is with you and with all of those who love Leigh. There is nothing we can do in this life that is more important than giving and receiving love. My best friend died of cancer almost 2 years ago, and I miss her every day; at the same time, every day I appreciate how much love we shared and how much joy she brought to the world--to me and to everyone who knew her.

Thank you for writing about her over these last few posts, and I hope you will continue to do so.

With warm regards,
Verna

Chole - my thoughts and prayers are with you, Chris and Leigh's family.

I know that you are aware that business is just one part of life (and not the other way around). And at this time self-ish (meaning: of and for the self) is exactly what is required for you to be the best that you can be - for yourself, your family and your clients.

My wishes for you can be summed up in the following verse -

"Be who you are and say what you feel cause those that care don't matter, and those that matter don't care." - Dr. Suess

Chloe,

I'm so very sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you and your family...as well as my heart. May you find strength in all the beautiful memories that you have of Leigh. Bless you.

Joy, Leah, and Verna,

Thank you for your kind words of support and caring. One thing cancer has brought to my life is a more tight knit family. We have pulled together to support each other better than I ever could have imagined. It's amazing to feel like we have even *more* people surrounding our family with love and support. Again, thank you.

Chloe

Hi Honey,
I trully hope that in time the tears you cry will be replace by happy memories of the time you and Leigh spent together. I am so proud of both of you. The strength and love you both shared is a testement to what bond is about. This would is a better place because you both have left your mark on it. I will keep you, Chris and the entire family in my prayers. I love you,
MA

Chloe: I am so sorry that you have lost a sister and one of your best friends. Whatever you have chosen to do at this point and time, we as a family will support you l00%. You have done more for Leigh over the past few years and we know how much you loved her. She did too!
On this day which would have been their anniversary, I hurt so much for Chris.

Always at the thresholds of death, we fill a spiritual presence which sustains us. I hope Leigh is at Peace and I hope she knew how much I loved her.
I will be there soon and would have been sooner if I could have.
Love, Mom
