OUR LOVING ROSARINHO
Weep not for me though I have gone
Into that gentle night
Grieve if you will, but not for long
Upon my soul’s sweet flight
I am at peace, my soul’s at rest
There is no need for tears
For with your love I was so blessed
For all those many years
There is no pain, I suffer not
The fear is now all gone
Put now these things out of your thoughts
In your memory I live on
Remember not my fight for breath
Remember not the strife
Please do not dwell upon my death
But celebrate my life!

DONATIONS - CADASIL
Our Ross was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder called CADASIL in 2017. In memory of him, we would like to support the outstanding work of "Cadasil Together We Have Hope", which seeks to improve education on this disease, promote research, and ultimately find a cure.
​
CADASIL (Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Sub-cortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy) is an inherited form of cerebrovascular disease that occurs when the thickening of blood vessel walls blocks the flow of blood to the brain.
​
We would like to increase awareness and knowledge, open communication channels and speed up efforts in helping to find a treatment or cure for CADASIL.
