Rest In Peace Janessa



RIP Janessa Beth Batchelor

19 March 1989- 21 November 2010

 My friend Janessa passed away tonight at 10:31PM EST at University of North Carolina Chapel Hill Hospital. I would like to share a bit about this wonderful young lady I attended high school with. She was very smart, athletic, coofy, and an all around authentic good girl who will be missed by many. I remember bringing gum drops to Bible Study once junior year and Janessa thought it would be fun to throw them at everyone. The pastor and his wife found them months later. She was healthy her whole life, but shortly after moving to North Carolina she fell ill & was admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of the flu & strep throat, later phenomonia. At that point she was transfered from the local hospital she was at to the UNC hospital and put on a ventalator and fell into a drug induced coma. She was later diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Lukemia. She recieved one cycle of chemo and then was changed to a partial ventalator as things appeared to improve, but she could not recieve any further treatments as she was in renial failure, she has expirenced damage to each of her major organs on some level, was on a feeding tube, and was still largely unresponsive. Two weeks after being diagnosed with Lukemia, at age 23, she passed away. She will be missed by many. here is a link to her obituary: CLICK HERE
