Memorial Day Weekend



This morning Caroline and I visited Sarah's gravesite to bring flowers and view her headstone for the first time. It was a touching sight to see family members of so many decorating the graves of their loved ones. We brought small tokens of love from Nathan and Maren to leave for their sister. Later in the day grandparents and cousins also stopped by to pay tribute to our beautiful little Sarah.

Christine, Sarah's gravestone is perfect. I'm so glad you and Caroline made the trip. I am certain it was healing for your mama's heart. I pray your mom is doing better. I am so sorry to hear of her fall. You truly are a dear mother, daughter, sister and friend.
