Every time a bell rings....

I did not know Logan Boyd. I know his Mother Michele Boyd, and his Grandmother, Darlene Kovack, brokers of Prudential Kovack Realty in Medina and Wadsowth, Ohio. Both Michele and Darlene are long time members of the Medina Chapter of the Women's Council of Realtors.

Logan was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in 2005 at age 14.

This is a few words posted on "a caring bridge.org" by his mother Michele.

Dear Friends,
It is with deep sadness that I tell you Logan earned his angel wings today. The wonderful people at Children's Hospital worked like they were possessed to get us home yesterday. Logan passed away peacefully, at home, this afternoon. He fought the good fight, and outsmarted this disease longer than anyone thought he could, but even warriors need to rest. Logan was always upbeat and positive about whatever treatment we were doing, even if it meant eating macrobiotic sludge or inhaling scopion venon along with his chemo. We are immensely grateful for the 3 1/2 years we've had since he was diagnosed. It's been amazing, because Logan was amazing! The Carlson Funeral Home in Medina is handling the arrangements. I think calling hours will be Friday night with the Funeral at Prince of Peace Church in Barberton on Saturday. If you are so inclined, you can make a donation to the Akron Children's Hospital Showers' Family Clinic in Logan's name to help other kids battling this disease. Thanks for all your love and support! We have the best friends and family in the world!
xoxo
Michele and Craig
Proud Parents of Angel Logan

Oh I am so sorry. How very sad. What a brave child he must have been and you can see from the letter where that bravey was learned. Thanks for passing this along.
