Legacy of Love

Notes Left Behind: I Love You drawings and notes by a six year old little girl, dying from cancer— to her mom, dad and little sister, Grace. She wasn’t supposed to know she was dying, but… Her parents have been finding the notes here and there: in books, drawers, on shelves between her books. So far they have three boxes of these notes. Little Elena lost her ability to speak, but could still write and draw. What a legacy of love to the family she left behind: A heartbreaking and heartwarming story at the same time.

The family has combined a journal and some of the notes and drawings, which are now being published; the proceeds going to a foundation created in memory of this marvelous little girl: The Cure Starts Now Cancer Research Foundation

I saw this story on the Today Show where you can read more about it on their web site. For more on the foundation go to
