I am sorry for your loss. I lost my twins 9 months ago today and that was the toughest day of my life. Trust in God and keep your family and friends close for support.

Al, Julie, Allison, Chris & Ashley - I am just going thru old papers since I, too, have experienced a resent family death. My mother passed away on Oct. 23. We also experienced the loss of our first grandchild nearly 11 years ago so I am just crushed when anyone I know also has to suffer that pain. I still have trouble talking about it at times. It is a devastating experience & sorrow that words just cannot express. Our little Skylar has two lovely sisters now (you may remember them bopping around in my backyard when we were neighbors) & they somehow help heal the pain a bit. I wish for you the same joy at some point. You are all in my prayers. Neighbor Elaine

Dear Chris & Allison,
My heart just aches for all of you. I can only imagine the great sorrow you feel at this time. I was just looking at your pictures this morning (from the Fair) and praying for you, unknowing the heavy burden you've been carrying. Please let me carry some of that sadness for you now so that your healing can begin. I know the immense love you have for those girls, and I know that they will always, always be at rest in your hearts.
With deepest sympathies,
Darice
