I was brought to tears when I learned this news for the first time this morning. Your words and thoughts show the depth of your soul and the wonderful father you are. I will always remember being at the dog park with George Michael and seeing and speaking with Nora. She was silly, big-hearted and her beautiful, kind, loving spirit shined through for all to see. I know that spirit is with all who were lucky enough to have met her. I would like to take you out to lunch or dinner sometime. I would understand if you aren't up for it, I will leave it to you. What ever you need, whenever you need it, let me know. Love you brother.

Hi Kelly. I just discovered Nora's story and wanted to send my love to you and your family, especially coming off of the whirlwind of the holidays and new year. I hope the park is bringing some light into your lives.

Reading about Nora's big, bold, adventurous personality reminded me so much of my own daughter (named Norah!) who we lost in October 2017 at age 13. She passed away suddenly due to a ruptured arteriovenous malformation, so our journeys were different but I can certainly relate to this path you've now been forced to walk. I know nothing can or will ever heal the pain from your loss, but I am so glad projects like the park can help Nora's family and friends feel like she is still "in" the world. Everyone who goes there will be able to take away a spark of her and carry it with them.

I hope to be able to visit one day and sit with both our Nora(h)s there. I think they would have liked that.

I'd visited the CWS site when I got home. It would be great if they could post some of the renderings there. The drawings show such a wonderful space. I have to thing that would encourage people to donate.

Wonderful! I look forward to visiting!
