Ohio

Sue, Mark and their new grandson, Simon

I've been in Ohio since we came in for Evan's funeral. Evan's funeral, I can't believe I'm even saying those words. This is all so surreal. Natalie brought me to Ohio and I couldn't be more grateful for a daughter in law from heaven. Tom and Thomas met us here and we stayed with my brother Mark and his wife, Sue. When Tom, Natalie & Thomas left I stayed two days with Mark and Sue. They were so gracious. Thank You!

Loss & Celebrations

As sad as it is there is nothing that brings a family together than a funeral. We all met up in Ohio to celebrate Andrew's life and there were SO MANY people. He knew he was loved but in the end it just wasn't enough.

It was so great to see all the little ones running around after all the sad activities were over.

The wonderful people at the church had a beautiful lunch set up for us and the kids all met us there. There were 13 children ages from 9years to 1 month.JackMy SIL, Susan
