I only met Anoopa Sharma twice, but those brief meetings set a special place in my heart for her. After learning that she was in a serious car accident and would have to learn to walk and talk again, I worked with another close friend on a web site that her friends and family could visit to track her progress and leave messages for her. Sadly, her condition was worse than doctors hoped. Her body shut down only days later. She was 24.
Her spirit lives on, and the stories and prayers on her site have touched and inspired thousands of visitors from all over the world.
