In Loving Memory

As most of you know, we lost Mike's mom on the 3rd of December.  The last few weeks have been difficult in so many ways, but we have also enjoyed great times remembering Roz.  Today, December 21st, would have been Roz's 65th birthday.  We are going through all of the emotions of sudden loss, feeling angry that she was taken in such a seemingly unjust way, but feeling comfort in God's sovereignty.  We know her joy is complete now, and for that we rejoice.  We are thankful for our wonderful memories.  Our greatest sadness is that our kids will not have a chance to know her better, and feel the depth of the love she had for them.

We are so thankful that Roz was able to spend 10 days with us last February.  We had such an amazing time together!!  Her are some pictures from our visit.  We love you Roz!  Happy Birthday!
