Last Saturday I was listening to Vicki Forman speak about life with her son Evan, and advocating for children with disabilities.
Evan passed away suddenly Thursday from complications of previous treatments.
Vicki's friends and colleagues at Literary Mama wrote:
Most of us never met Evan, but we loved learning about his strength and spirit through Vicki's gorgeous writing.

Vicki and her family will use the funds to purchase something Evan would have enjoyed in his life, for instance, a tree to shade the playground swings
My heart goes out to Vicki and the rest of Evan's family.
