Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.

We have lost another too soon.  On February 17, 2011 the world lost a wonderful person by the name of Perry Moore.  He was only 39 and a force to be reckoned with when it came to pure honesty, creativity, love, and so many other things that this world needs more of.  Perry's death comes soon after another Chanco family memeber.  Katie-Fenton Vicellio took her own life on November 15th, 2010.  She was an amazing young woman and is missed terribly.  Katie V was only 29 years old. 

This blog is difficult to write because I don't really know what to say.  These two people meant a lot to so many people that the emotions of it all, well it's overwhelming at times.  Sometimes I find myself drifting off into my memories to try and experience them again and remember the times when we were laughing, hugging, talking, just being together and enjoying life.  Enjoying life....sometimes I forget.....I forget to enjoy the life that I have.  I have said before that life gets in the way of having fun but we should all make our lives as fun and meaningful as we can.  The loss of Katie and Perry makes me realize how little time we have here and that we should make it worthwhile. I realize that in my heart but it's hard to make my head realize that I need to live life in a meaningful way.  What does that mean?  What does it mean when people say live live to the fullest?  Live life like there is no tomorrow?  What does it all really mean?  What I think it means is that we need to love in our lives, we need to show compassion, we need to experience new and wonderful things, we need to notice the beauty and ugliness that is around us, we need to not forget about where we come from, live a life you can be proud of, realize that what you do as a job does not define you as a person, we need to experience fear, sorrow, despair to realize how wonderful it is to experience bravery, happiness, and elation, and we need to have lasting friendships to share all of these things with. 

Katie and Perry were people that inspired, loved, and experienced life.  I am just lucky to say that they allowed me to be a part of that.  You will both be missed more than you know.  LOVE
