Greetings,

Today, June 16, 2009, is the 10-year anniversary of Andrea Lynn Smeltzer's death
due to Bulimia. She died on June 16, 1999, sin her sleep. She was only
19-years old and she had been Bulimic for 1-year. She died in her sleep. Andrea,
today is in loving memory of you. You are dearly missed, but not forgotten.
Please light a candle in her memory, The Smeltzer family, and the memory of all
those who lost their battle and died in vain from their struggled with Eating
Disorders. Please light a candle in the memory of those who are battling this
life-threatening disease and keep their family members in your thoughts and
prayers. This is a family disease it affects everyone. Thank you.

I am always available to Chat or to talk/listen via telephone. No one is alone
unless you choose to be! There is hope, and help, and support from those who
have been where you are now. I am one of those people and another person is
Lynda.
Along with the lighting candles we ask you to go one step further and listen to
two of Andrea's favorite songs by Jewel, i.e., Fragile Flame (Fat Boy)

and Innocence Maintained http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urovUxpPuOc
both from her CD titled, "Spirit." CD. You can find these two songs Online for
free or if you subscribe to Rhapsody you will find them there.
