It is with great sadness that I dedicate this crane to Leonie Kong. I found her blog online when I first started this project. Her blog caught my attention because it was named "dancing paper cranes" - I was so impressed with Leonie's strength and attitude regarding her battle with cancer.
I have heard from two of her friends this week with the sad news that she passed away on July 6th.
This crane is dedicated not only to Leonie - but to her family and friends. Losing someone we love is not easy. My thought and prayers are with them all. Leonie was an amazing young woman.
I was asked to put a quote from Leonie on a crane for her.
"I'm just trying to live my life to the fullest without any regrets."
Leonie Kong
