When the end comes for those we love, those who matter to us, we all handle it in a different way.

Some of us are loud about it. Others are quiet and draw the pain inside.

We all grieve in our own way, and who is to say one way is better than another?

But what we shouldn’t miss is the chance to let those people know how we feel while we still have the chance.

Death comes in many ways, some quick, some slow. We don’t always have a chance to express our feelings before departure.

In the case of former Wolf volleyball coach Kim Meche, there is still a chance. A chance for those who played for her, those who had her as a teacher or principal, those who covered her teams, or those who merely bumped into her and thought, “There goes a really nice person,” to say so.

The news is not good right now in Kim’s battle with cancer. While there is always hope, it is dimmer than before.

But she can still hear the well-wishes of those she knew for a lifetime or met for a moment.

Take the time, a moment of your day, and leave a message for her on the blog that is documenting her fight. When she is awake, the messages are being read to her.

Reach out and let her know she is now, and forever, a huge part of Wolf Nation.

Let her know she is loved.
