Health—Since 1976, when Laurel Lee was diagnosed with fourth-stage Hodgkin's Disease, she had lived with the threat of cancer. After a short remission of Hodgkin's, she had a relapse. Contrary to doctors' predictions however, Laurel survived the disease and went on to raise her three children, travel around the world and share her story. For nearly twenty years, she remained cancer free. Then in the fall of 2003, Laurel was diagnosed with fourth-stage pancreatic cancer. On August 10, 2004, Laurel Lee passed away from complications of the cancer.

"My memory pulls out special days and old ways that had had their fragrance. The meditation of death progresses. It is like a dark glass I have to pass through. I know it will all have to be faced again—Some more black and white runs, and once in living color." —Laurel, 1980

TAPESTRY: THE JOURNEY OF LAUREL LEE

Tapestry: The Journey of Laurel Lee
In 1975, twenty-nine year old Laurel Lee was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Disease and told by doctors she was going to die. Her husband, unable to cope, leaves her and three little children to fend for themselves. While Laurel fights desperately for her life, she keeps a journal. That journal, sent to publishers by her doctors, became the best selling book and CBS movie, Walking Through The Fire. Contrary to her prognosis, Laurel did not die but was propelled into world wide travel, adventure, challenge and sheer determination. "In one stroke, I cut with some mental shears that fifty-more-years river, leaving me a short stretch ... I want the privilege of guiding the arrows of my children and giving them the exhortations that can shoot them into the high place."
