I offer my sincere condolences to the family and friends of Ms Cordell. I know that losing a loved one is not easy, but our faith in Gods promises can help us get through difficult times like this. Please know that God cares and will give you the strength that you need. At 2Kings 20:5, he says," I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. I am healing you." I hope this brings you comfort and helps you cope with your loss.

In light and in love and in your ability to inspire me to reach for something beyond my limits, you taught me the gift of believing in myself, the joy in the challenge, and the celebration with those you love, the wonder of achieving your goal! You have been a true teacher to me, a special friend, and
the guide to many of us as with your courage, fierce passion,
unwavering focus, boundless humor, and special sensitivity.
Thank you doesn't seem enough. I will keep learning, living,
loving, and especially, dancing...for you Melinda.
