I had the pleasure to meet Ralph, he is a great guy! (okay, Susi is okay too :D :)Princess Susi wrote:He is truly a special person, ask Disney Mom. She knows him. He is incredibly emotionally strong and he is bright and loves life! And he regained all his motor activities as well. He walks and drives and loves Disney! :)

What a beautiful story! :)Princess Susi wrote:It is so sad to hear of these head injuries and know that some recover, some don't. I look at my miracle love everyday and thank God he sent him to me.

I exchanged a few PMs with the OP on the Board X thread. Not to cause trouble, but because based on some information that was posted on the original thread, I thought that I knew the CM in question. John (the OP) was very gracious in answering my PMs, and confirmed that his sister, Mindy, had passed away on Friday.
A quick glance at the Orlando Sentinel's webpage, http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/orl ... ory?page=1 , confirms this is not a hoax.
Mindy was a CM in the Backlands area at Disney's Hollywood Studios. I worked with her at the Backlot Tour, and also was an On With The Show facilitator with her. She was one of those cast members that could always see the good side of a situation, and was usually pretty good at getting others around her to see it as well.
Rest in peace, Mindy.
Now I feel really bad for jumping the gun. :(KidAtHeart wrote:It's very sad. The death, unfortunately, was not a hoax.
The OP on the other board did post another thread, however, appologising for 'jumping the gun' and blaming a person who did not exist as to the cause of her death. He went on to explain that his sister appeared to have told the story to several people (he being one of them) but that he has since found out through the police investigation that she had not been at work for several weeks and that it appears the cause of death was mixing medications, causing some sort of overdose.
Whatever the cause, though, it's a very sad story.
