I am so sorry about your loss. Daria and I went to school together in Slippery Rock. We had just connected to Facebook not too long ago. She was a great person. So sad.

Dear Family & Friends,
I encountered Daria a short time before she passed - just one or two weeks prior. She'd written the bookstore I work for to inquire about a book, and we began exchanging emails, as she was unusually kind and nurturing despite the fact we'd never once met.
When she finally came to the store, she immediately gave me a long, heartfelt hug - the kind few but my mother could give me. We spoke about the books she was interested in, and then life, interactions, relationships; everything, in a sense, within a short interaction in the middle of a busy bookstore.
I wanted above all else to let Daria know how much meeting her meant to me - that I'd had experiences similar to what I experienced with her then in the past, but rarely, infrequently, and as of late they have been non-existent. Our interaction brought me to a place where I knew without question that there is some greater consciousness or connection in this world; something I've struggled with lately, to the point of losing faith. Although I don't know the nature of that consciousness and energy, meeting Daria reminded me, beyond doubt, that it exists.
After she left that day, with Sharon, I wrote her two or three emails sort of pouring my heart out, telling her about my problems, private things I discuss with almost no one. I felt without question that I could tell her things I'd never told anyone before, and she would keep them to herself, and respond with nothing but love.
I was looking forward to having this new friend, this amazing person whom I could truly be honest with. I knew she was sick, but I had no idea how sick she was.
When Daria left that day, her eyes were bright with tears, and she had said something to the effect of "I love the connections." She was looking around the room, at everyone, treasuring every experience she had.
I did not expect she would be gone so soon. But for someone to have such a drastic effect on another's life, in such a short time...Daria was, and is, an amazing, incredible person. Full of love and caring. She taught me a great deal, and I miss her dearly.
I am sure Daria left her family and friends with such an enormous gift of love that it is impossible to feel anyone could have lived their lives more fully, and I hope that gives those closest to her the comfort they deserve. It is very easy for me to imagine Daria at the shoulder of her loved ones as they continue life, urging them forward, urging them to smile. She was a great gift, and I am truly grateful to have been a part of her life, however small.
If anyone would like to contact me directly to talk or for any other reason, feel free to write me any time: jgood01@wesleyan.edu. As I had the chance to meet Sharon, if she's ever willing I would love to speak to her.
Best wishes for everyone, and much love.
- Justin

WE HAD NOT SPOKE UN TWENTY YEARS, WE BOTH HAD GONE OUR WAY. BUT AS WE SPOKE, PAST YEARS ROLLED BY UNTIL THE PRESENT DAY. SHE DID NOT TELL ME SHE WAS SICK, AT LEAST NOT RIGHT AWAY, BUT WHEN SHE DID I HAD NO VOICE, I KNEW NOT WHAT TO SAY. I ASKED HER WHY SHE WAS SO BRAVE, SHE SAID "I HAVE NO CHOICE". HER STRENGTH WAS UNBELIEVEABLE, RESOUNDING IN HER VOICE. SHE NEVER SAID "IT'S NOT FAIR, I'M MUCH TOO YOUNG TO DIE." THEN HEAVEN TOOK HER FROM OUR LIVES,AND LEFT US ALL TO CRY.

Many years ago I was a student at Tomlinson Junior High in Fairfield. One day I found myself caught up in a rush of students with myself on crutches. My books fell everywhere while the crowd rushed on. One student saw my distress and immediately came to my aid and gathered my books for me. She made sure I was okay to continue before she left me. That girl was Daria Thompson, whom I did not really know..and I never forgot her act of kindness.

Sharon, I am grieved in learning of the passing of such a strong, compassionate individual.Her loyalty and confidence in my ability, has been an encouragement to me. I believe that she is in a better place, because she has made peace with all of those love ones who matter most. May God give you Sharon, and the family the strength and the courage to get through this time of sorrow. I pray that as stated in the book of Philippians 4:7] "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
I will continue to pray. Take Care!

Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glints on snow;
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle Autumn's rain.
When you waken in the morning's hush;
I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight;
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die.

You will call, and I myself shall answer you. For the work of your hands you will have a yearning. {Job 14:14, 15}. God will have a yearning to resurrect faithful ones.

I'm so sorry to the family of Daria to learn of her passing. Daria and I would spend the night at each others house, talk about school and homework and many things. We rode the bus to Timothy Dwight together along with Bobby. I remember Donna and Mr. and Mrs. Thompson and the german shepard dog. Tanglewood and Woodhouse Road buddies. I'm so sorry and I have many memories. Love, Barbara Slyman Keaney-- September 26, 2013
