Ciara was not an innovator of any art. You won't read about her in any history book. You won't find her featured in any magazine. The only belt she held was a blue in Shaolin Kempo Karate, but she had the heart that far exceeds any black belt.
On January 5th, 2003, Ciara, the daughter of my sister, known on this forum as girlychuks, was killed in a car accident. She was only 7 years old. She was a very loving little girl, always having a smile on her face.
She also had the gift to bring joy to so many others. Once, when she visited a nursing home, she encountered a man who was almost always cranky and grumpy. She just went up to him and said "HI! I'm keewa. I have balloon", and she lit his face up, and melted away any roughness. She also helped two autistic children in their play-therapy, helping them to become verbal.
Some may find this an innappropriate post, but she was a martial artist, and she did bring so much joy and inspiration to many of us.
May she rest in peace.

What a terrible thing to happen. Please send my very deepest condolences to Girlychuks and to all of your family.
