the voices of those
who are hidden except for
their compassion and
willingness to bring them forth
advocates for those who have

disabilities
and their families:  words born
from experience

A very special tribute to very special people. Though I am not familiar with them, anyone that gives of themselves selflessly to others in need is a special person worthy of the highest praise from their fellow man. Karla, you too are very special to recognize these individuals. Jon Michael Willey

This is so moving, Karla. This could be written in blood on the flesh of the heart. It's integrity goes deep. You, all three, are those whose voices will endure, being of the light that is never hidden nor extinguished. You speak for those who often have NO voice. Bless you all three. You are life-savers and preservers. Kate xx

A beautiful tribute to a duo of very deserving souls, Karla. Karen and Michelle are both awesome and sweet. I've always heard it said that good things come to good people. For this poem series, Karla, you're proving how "good" you are; may you find many blessings in return for the tributes you've shared.
