Yesterday I (Eric) found out some very saddening news.  I have been following Derek Leavitt (aka @architectderek) for some time now and after reading his tweets regarding the passing of little Madeline Alice Sophr, I could not help but feel an overwhelming desire to help in any way possible.  I do not know Heather and Mike Sophr and I can not imagine what they must be going through.  Madeline (Maddie) passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday April 7th.  It is times like these that I take stock of all the wonderful things that exist in my life.  I urge you to do the same. Heather and Mike have asked that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to March for Maddie, a March of Dimes – March for Babies one day walking foundraiser.  Maddie was born pre-mature and Heather and Mike have vowed to help others.  They have created their own team event, one that Maddie was supposed to participate in…all the more saddening.  Casia and I have decided to make a donation in Maddie’s honor to her March of Dimes event.  Please take a moment and visit her blog ‘The Spohrs are Multiplying‘ to find out more about this wonderful little girl.
