Sad News

Our grandma Edith passed away today (Sat.). She has been living with alzheimer's for quite some time now and we believe that she is in heaven with grandpa with all of her precious memories back. We will miss her dearly but know that she is happy now with the rest of her family and know that we will see her again when our time on earth is done.

On that same note, we will be in Minnesota on Monday. We're not sure when we will be returning to Florida. We'll be staying up north for awhile at least--maybe a week or two.

It is times like this when we remember how fragile and precious life is. If you haven't told someone you love them or haven't visited someone as much as you should, take the time---you never know how much time God has planned for you.

We love you all!

SO VERY SORRY TO HEAR THE NEW TO ALL OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, ADAM!

Life IS precious, and you are right about the importance of telling people just how much you love them - you never know when the next time is you will be able to do it. I take every day as the best possible because we are never guaranteed tomorrow!

Blessings to Viv on having the honor of her great grandma's initials as her name! I am sure grandma Edith enjoyed having that honor also.

Be safe this holiday weekend in traveling to MN - and we will keep you close in thought and prayer during this sad time in your family.

Sorry for everyone experiencing a loss - my Aunt Carolyn passed away on the 5th and I thought about how we were blessed to have a wonderful birth in our family on the 4th (Vivian) and how one life ended.

God bless us all ~~

Sorry to hear about your loss. Babies have a way to bring much joy to sadness. Stefan helped me so much after my mom passed away. I seriously think that is what helped me thru the difficult time. We just looked at all Vivian's pictures and Chloe said Mommy and Daddy when she saw both of you with little Viv. And she just kept saying "Awww... when she saw the baby!" Just made it back from Winona this weekend... Didn't get to see Trinity! But, able to see everyone else! :) Chloe's gotta use the big potty... yep she is on her way with potty training!!
