Our Stories
News Stories from the foundation and stories from our friends living with epilepsy.
Emily Worrall
Her sweet, loving, happy and beautiful personality will be greatly missed. She had an infectious giggle and a heart of gold. She could light up a house, never mind a room. She is now in heaven, lighting the way for others with her smile. She had a bright future ahead of her. Emily will be astoundingly missed by anyone she touched.
Anthony Sposato
In loving memory of a kindhearted son, caring brother loving boyfriend, and loyal friend to many. His passing was very sudden and only a couple of days short of graduating from Wentworth Institute of Technology with a degree in Architecture. He will be missed but never forgotten.
Suzanne Smiley
"I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life, to the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife, and all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow rover, and a quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over." -John Masefield
Joseph Salituro
Those we have loved shine on forever young and forever loved. We look at the night sky in the quiet darkness and they are never far. Those who have touch our lives are closer than we know because it is their light that shines on the world.
Rose Elizabeth Hastings Robert
Upon reflection for her 8th grade Portfolio, Rose wrote: "Personal growth and knowledge are not the type of thing one leaves behind. It is in the wind when it blows, the rain when it rains, or your shadow in the sun. It is always there. As she is.
Jamie Carlson Reynolds
Just for a short while I came to visit. Affection and love filled my days. Mommy & Daddy nurtured and cared for me. I love them so much! Every whisper, every caress, every moment mattered.
Andrew Reynolds
Andy was the life of the party, and everyone loved to be around him. His compassion, warmth and good humor made him the best son, brother, uncle and friend anyone could wish for. Andy was taken from us way too early and we dearly miss him every day.
Erika Preve
"We love and miss you. Your personal mantra we try to remember everyday: In the end what matters most is: How well did you live, how well did you love, how well did you learn to let go. We love you."
