I was heartbroken when I had seen what had happened with Aislinn. I was just ONE of the MANY people who had been blessed to meet her at Camp Mak-A-Dream, in Missoula, Montana. She was such a BRIGHT LIGHT of a young woman & fellow survivor to be able to see. When I went out there & met her, I was immediately drawn to her & her as I called it "INFECTIOUS SMILE" She would smile & allow for both myself & others to smile without any need for an outside source. Heaven will certainly be brighter with her smile now gracing the clouds. again God Bless Miss Aislinn Bleck with PEACE & SERENITY which she so DESPERATELY NEEDED! AMEN!!!
Just know when we visit our father's grave (currently unmarked) which is right next to this sweet soul, we will be greeting her as well. I just read her story and brought tears to my eyes. What a lovely young lady who fought such a battle. My father Walter Price was unexpectedly taken by cancer (as well as hospital malpractice), and 10 months later followed by his wife Rita to Alzheimers. Our hearts are sad, but please know that when we visit them, we will also be giving our love to Aislinn, his new neighbor. So sorry for your loss, her story is very heartwarming.
My thoughts and prayers are with family and friends mourning the loss of Aislinn. I enjoyed the time I worked with her while she was at St. Olaf. One of my favorite quotes is "God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December" May the memories you have of Aislinn help carry you through your time of grief.
May Aislinn rest now in peace. Regina, Tim and all that love her, may your fond memories help keep her close in your hearts. May you find comfort in these memories of a beautiful and amazing young woman. You have our deepest condolences. Gina, my heart aches for your loss.
Our hearts are broken at the news of Aislinn's passing. Though we only knew her through the stories my mom told us, we know she was a brilliant, beautiful young woman in every sense of the words. We are praying for your family. May Aislinn's memory be eternal.
Aislinn was my student for Honors Algebra 2 at Bethesda Chevy Chase HS. I remember her quick mind and thoughtful approach to problem solving as well as her kind, gentle spirit. When Aislinn returned to school after her surgery and rehab, I was so impressed by her fierce determination. I'm saddened to hear about her struggles after leaving BCC. There are no words to comfort, but know that Aislinn will be remembered.

I remember when Aislinn was born in Chicago. I worked with Tim and became friends with Gina. Tim created all of these wonderful announcements, Christmas cards etc with pictures of Aislinn. I was invited to her Christening and remember what a perfect baby she was while the other baby cried for the whole ceremony. I remember baby sitting and rolling her around the apartment in her stroller for a couple of hours to help her sleep. She was absolutely beautiful and obviously grew up to be absolutely beautiful in all ways. My sincerest condolences to Tim and Gina.
What a beautiful, inspiring tribute to a young woman who clearly made a difference in this world during her brief time here. God bless Aislinn and all of her family and friends who are mourning her loss.
Aislinn was one of the best and brightest students I have ever known in my entire teaching career. She was exceptionally kind and thoughtful and patient. She touched the lives of so many people at Bethesda-Chevy Chase HS. We all miss her, but we are all happy for having had a chance to know her. My condolences go out to her family and her friends.
I remember Aislinn from our years at BCC High School together. She always had a bright smile on her face and an eagerness to learn that I always found to be astounding. Aislinn was a strong, intelligent, kind person and she will forever live on in our hearts and minds.
A heavy burden has fallen upon us and sorrow has bowed our heads. And now we turn to You, the Source of life, for comfort and help. Give us the eyes to see that pain is not Your will, that somewhere there weeps with us One who feels our trouble and knows the suffering of our souls. We seek the light that will dispel the darkness that has overtaken us. Let us find it in the love of family and friends, in the sources of healing that are implanted within all the living, in the mind that conquers infirmity and trouble. Grant us the strength to endure what is inescapable, the wisdom to accept what cannot be undone, and the courage to go on without bitterness or despair.
Amen.
[Psalms 119:105, 36:10]
I know that words are never adequate in moments like these. I will say though, that our hearts, thoughts and prayers go out to you after the passing of your beautiful Aislinn. Peace to all of your family.
Aislinn was such a treasure and will be sorely missed but the memory of her strength will stay with us always. The Georgetown University community cares deeply for Gina and wants to support Gina and her family during this most difficult time in any way we possibly can.
