Above are 2 pictures of Alese Coco.
The Coco family has been a friend of my mom's family for a long time now. I remember when Kathy Coco (mom) would cut our hair before School Picture Day. My sister and I would play with her daughters (Alese and Shallyn) when our hair was all cut. Alese and Shallyn were right around our ages. It is a sweet memory!
A year ago today, their oldest daughter, Alese, who would have been 24 on March 10, 2008, went to be with the Lord. My heart has been sad and heavy for her family today but I do rejoice in knowing that Alese is with our Heavenly Father, having quite the celebration! Alese battled Hodgkin's Disease multiple times in a span of 5 years. Today her family launched a site in her honor, to raise support and awareness for this disease and, Lord willing, to find a cure. If you want to check out the new website and pass it along to anyone you know who might be interested, the site address is http://www.fight2win.org/.

So sad Summer! :( A girl in my small group (couples Bible study) was friends with Alyse growing up. She sent an email out last year so I was able to read about her story. Wow.
Such a time to remember that God is sovereign and good regardless of the really hard things in this life.

Sorry - spelled her name wrong in my comment.
I went to the website you posted and am once again amazed at how beautiful she is. Her sweet face even in the midst of chemo.
