"1p36 deletion syndrome"?? Condolences

The teenage daughter of Robert Horry died on Tuesday after a lifelong battle with a rare genetic disorder.

Ashlyn Horry, 17, suffered from 1p36 deletion syndrome, an affliction that develops when part of the first chromosome is missing. Little was known about the condition before Ashlyn was diagnosed. Up until a few years ago, it didn't have an official name.

"My little girl was the light of my life and my family's," Horry told the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday. "It's been tough, but we were blessed to have her for the time we did."

It's really really sad when things like this happen to youngsters. Why? well because they had their whole lives ahead of them to do what ever they wanted. Now through unfortunate events it's not possible. Sad news indeed.

My condolences to the immediate family of Ashlyn.

You really gotta feel for Robert and his family. 17 year worth of hope and prayer, procedures and surgeries... I'm at a loss for him and his family.

Heartbreaking news.
