Update

I just wanted to give you all a Hungry For Life bracelet update. Thus far, over 2000 bracelets have been sold. What an incredible testament to my brother! There are so many people out there who love and care about him and his family. I would like to thank each and every one of you who have made a donation to the Rich Children's Trust Fund. I would also like to thank those of you who have helped to sell Hungry For Life bracelets. I have truly been inspired by the graciousness and generosity you have shown. Thank you Jane!
I do not intend to stop selling bracelets anytime soon. As long as people would like to wear them, I will continue to keep a supply. Please email me at bettslevine@metrocast.net if you are interested. No quantity is too big or too small.
I also want to encourage people to continue to email Hungry For Life Challenge pics. Those pictures really keep this blog true to why it was created. I wanted to show why my brother was so special. What made him so different. He has impacted so many of us.
It has been about six weeks since Dennis passed. It has been a very difficult time for family and friends. I sincerely appreciate all of the kind and supportive words that you have written, through email and on this site. It is incredibly comforting for my family to read your thoughts-- please continue to do so. This is an incredible forum, and I am determined to ensure that it continues to grow. I am determined to keep the memory of my brother alive. It's the least I can do.

When I see your face I would swear you are looking right back at me. This has been so hard but, looking at your pictures everyday makes life alittle easier!
Thanks Katie!
Love,Mary

I agree, when I see certain photos, it's like he's looking at me saying it's going to be okay, that he's okay.
It's all so hard but this blog really, really helps.

Katie,
Thank you for putting this song on the blog. I know it means something special to Jodi. Whenever she listens to it she feels like its Dennis talking to her. So many times through their battle of cancer together he would just look at her like she was the only one in the room and would say "I just wanna go home Jodi, can you just take me home? I think he felt so safe and secure at home with her and even though its a really sad song I know when she listens to it and cries to it she is reflecting on some very special private moments that she will have with her to keep alive inside forever.
Katie you are the best. This blog
is like medicine to so many of us.
Love to you- Janie

I agree,this picture and so many others on this site, feel like Dennis is right here with us. His face and his expressions were always so powerful to me.What a presence he had when he would walk in a room.There is no doubt in my mind. Dennis is to powerful to forget. He truly was the most captiving man in my life. I miss you so much Dennis.I always will. Love you forever, Jodi oxox

Everytime I look at this page I cry but it's so wonderful to look at Dennis' beautiful face smiling at me!! I miss you and I love you forever Denny!!
