Rolando Kline Medina
Published April 4, 2007 | 
My friend, and a major part of our "Chasing The Ana" team, Carrie Medina, has lost a son this week. Rolando Kline Medina died April 1, 2007. Just 19 years old. Not too many years ago Carrie had a chance to take Rolando from their home in Oregon to visit Puerto Rico, an island he fell in love with. Amazingly she decided to leave everything behind and moved to PR. You can imagine the sacrifices made. This tells you much about Carrie’s character and love of her children. The hardest part of this of course is that we can do little to help her through this time other than to offer support if and when she feels free to seek it. No one should have to suffer this kind of loss, I feel sick just writing about it. I think ahead to our trip to the island and how this tragedy cannot help but effect all of us who have come to know Carrie over the last few months. I think I will see the shoreline much differently now. For my part, I will dedicate this journey to the memory of Rolando Kline Medina and to honor his mother who has given so much to a bunch of special kids. To Carrie all I can say is, remember we’re here for you as well.
If you would like to send a note of condolence and support, here is the address:
Carrie Medina
HC 03 box 16615
Quebradillas, PR 00678

You did a wonderful job with this Derrick. I know that Carrie will be touched by your kind words. She is a special friend to us all. Anyone that knows her is touched by her gentle, loving spirit. I wish so much that we could be there with her through this, but she knows we are with her in our heart. I love you Carrie, and I am so sorry for your loss! Rolando will always be with you in your heart hun. (((HUG)))
