Beautiful Maura de Souza

Maura fought an unclassified sarcoma in the abdomen for 13 months. Through her mother's blog, Maura vs. Toby, I had the privilege of following the brave fight with "Toby, the stupid jerk tumor". But there is nothing fair about sarcomas.

I am posting the video of Maura's graduation. She received her Bachelor in Music just a few days before passing away.


Erin, thank you for the words of encouragement you continue to write to me, even while you are feeling the pain of grieving. Um abraço forte for all your family.

Elsa,
Thank you for posting this. I especially like the commencement address. the speaker and everyone in the room, including Maura, knew she only had a few days left on this earth. We were all moved. And the song at the end was not planned, but rather a spontaneous outpouring. Hugs. ~Erin
