Courtney's Legacy

Very touching and moving. All my best to your family. I had Reyes syndrome at 10 years old in 1980. Strangely two other young boys from my neighborhood had it a few years earlier and one lived and his brother passed. I was also misdiagnosed at the local hospital but thankfully my parents took me into Boston the next morning which saved my life. It worries me that emergency rooms are still misdiagnosing this.

Rest in peace, my friend. You'll never be forgotten. I still miss you and wish you could have continued sharing in our lives with us.
