A story of love and determination

My friend Helen sent this story e-mail. It's going around. So I checked it as I usually do, and Snopes says it is true, and it appears on a number of blogs. Here's a longer version without photos.

"While it is tragic that someone should die, especially so young, it's difficult to see the story of Katie Kirkpatrick Godwin as a sad one.

She did not allow illness to make her weak, she did not allow it to change her relationship with her God or her family or her husband. She did not let sickness stop her from living, take away the hope or faith that made her believe she had a future. She had a lovely wedding and she had love and she gave love and love doesn't die.

And that is how Katie beat cancer."
