David, I am very sorry to hear of your loss. I am very sorry for the family and friends of Olivia that they have lost a loved one so young as well. And I lift everyone up in prayer and for Blaise and Gracelyn especially. May the Lord oversee you in raising these little ones and provide you with comfort during your time of grief. Connie

Your family is still in our thoughts and prayers. I'm sure you're wondering who I am. My sister is in ICU, still, & we visited in the waiting room. At least she gets to go on living in the lives of those she has helped with her organ donation, what a gift!

Libby, It has taken some time just to be able to post anything. I love and miss you. We think about you daily. Sometimes you keep us up at night. Your mom,dad,great grandmother and grandmothers, sisters and brothers, cousins, aunts and uncles will help watch over the little ones. We all know that you should not have been the one in that spot. But all the prayers are there for your family and children. You will be watching right along with us. We love you so much. Nicky, we miss you too, you two stick close to one another. Love Aunt Ronda
