We here at the Delaware Lady Hawks would like to send our condolences out to the Dunne family for the loss of their Little Angel, Molly. She lost her battle with pulmonary hypertension and HHT (Osler Weber Rendu). Several members of our 6th grade team attend the same school as Molly and the team is dedicating this weekend's tournament in King Of Prussia to her memory. We teach life lessons to our players throughout our program, but this one is one that no one this young should have to learn. Sports are very competitive, but in the grand scope of things, it really is just a game and nothing more. From what we know about Molly, she touched more lives in her 7 years on Earth and she will be remembered for a lifetime. Games will come and go, but Molly will be an Angel above looking over those who love her and cared about her. Rest In Peace, Molly.

Buddy Hurlock Update

 

Hi everyone,

 

I thought you might like an update on Buddy's condition as many of you have regularly asked me about him and offered your prayers. I wish I had better news to share with you all.

 

Buddy and his family have decided to stop his current chemo and not do any further treatment. There was a last ditch effort at Jefferson last week with a chemo used on lung cancer. It was mostly just an attempt to buy time though. He is very weak, for the most part blind in both eyes now, and the cancer has attacked his thinking and memory. It was a 5 hour process every day and he was not doing very well after the first day. At some point you must analyze the "quality of life" and it is for this reason that the family decided to stop treatment. They have met with hospice nurses this week.

 

Kevin Tresolini and the News Journal, in conjunction with the Blue Rocks, will be hosting a game in Buddy's honor on Sunday, May 20th. Game time is 1:35pm. A portion of proceeds from special tickets will go towards Buddy's Battle. I will have more details next week but please start spreading the word so that people can save the date if they are interested. I'm sure I will have tickets to sell.

 

Thank you all for your continued prayers and support. It has meant so much to our family.

 

Love,

Val

 

 

Let's continue to pray for Buddy and his family and let's see if we can't get a real nice turnout to the May 20th Blue Rocks game.
