This has been a difficult week. My mother passed away Tuesday morning. The evening before, one of my dearest friends from college also passed away. Today is visitation for my mother and tomorrow the funeral. We appreciate your prayers for our family and for the family of my friend, Lynn.
I wish I had more pictures to share, but my computer is down and I’m posting this from DH’s computer, so only have access to photos from my flickr pages.
My mother’s family. My mom is the one on the right.

We thank God for His promises.

I’m so sorry for your loss.I lost my grandmother a couple weeks before Christmas in 07 and it seems like its harder when you loose someone so close to the holidays.
I hope the spirit of the holidays comforts you and your family in this difficult time.
Courage, Rhonda! Thanks be to God that He so loved the world to send us His Beloved Son that we can experience this hope in the Resurrection. Let this thought comfort you always.
