    Thought it was an interesting read...sad to see a girl so young pass away early...she was so motivated...most of us don't have this much enthusiasm for a cause in our whole lifetime...and she raised nearly $700k from her modest beginnings selling lemonade...

    She did more for this world in her short life than most will ever do.

    Anytime youre mad because your team lost, or youre frustrated with traffic, just stop and think how lucky you really are.

    nice perspective dc rock.

    The death of someone that young because of a bad break can really make you think. I am truly blessed, as many of us are.

    I never had a soft spot for kids...

    ... until I became a parent.

    With a little girl of my own, a story like this invokes a lot of sadness.

    + be at peace, little one +

    wow. what an amazing lifetime lived in just 8 years. big lessons for an 8 year old to have to grapple with.

    rest in peace.
