My sympathies go out to Cristen's family. I remember great times spent with Cristen when we were kids. Cousins gathered around the player piano, time spent playing and just sharing laughs as children do. May Cristen rest peacefully and her family keep her spirit alive. Love from your cousin Michelle.

In a harbor, two ships sailed: one setting forth on a voyage, the other coming home to port. Everyone cheered the ship going out, but the ship sailing in was scarcely noticed. To this, a wise man said: "Do not rejoice over a ship setting out to sea, for you cannot know what terrible storms it may encounter & what fearful dangers it may have to endure. Rejoice rather over the ship that has safely reached port & brings it's passengers home in peace, for he has completed a long journey." ~The Talmud~

Momma, This is your Jadie. Your hug is like no other embrace I have ever felt, you were able to take any pain, sorrow or troubles away I ever had, only a mother can do that, I believe. I will always love you from the bottom of my heart, I hope you are still watching! Thank you for every you did for me, I will carry it all with me. I will miss you always! ---love Jadie Louise

We are born into death, but die into life. I quote my mother, good words to remember when one passes on.
