As my heart breaks again to hear this news, my prayers and most sincere sympathy go out to John Colenda and his family from Perryville, Maryland.

They lost their 8 year old son Jack after he contracted Lyme disease.

so sad. so real. and yet daily i hear ppl saying lyme isn't that big a deal.

That is so very sad. I wish there was more of a back story, but the story of the "tattoo memorial" is very touching, too. I know this family will work to educate others.

Good God, I can't even imagine. And I don't want to. How very sad.
