Memorial Web Page for Deborah J. "Misty" Gerner
           5 January 1956 - 19 June 2006

I am living
with a chronic illness.
Every day is a success,
every friendship a joy,
every insight a gift, and
every accomplishment worth
celebrating.
In this moment,
I am alive.

Memorial contributions

If you are interested in making a contribution in Misty's memory, she had particular interest in the "Ad Mundum" ("to the world") fund at her undergraduate alma mater, Earlham College (http://www.earlham.edu/). This is an endowment that she established a number of years ago to provide need-based supplemental funding to undergraduates doing study abroad. Earlham's contributions website

can be used for this.
