Words to a hymn that I find comforting in times of suffering and loss. As many of you know Kirk lost his mother November 28, 2012, from complications of surgery. This is a photo of the funeral program and her wedding ring that my father-in-law gave to me to give to Isabella on her 16th Birthday. The service was truly remarkable. Kirk spoke and did a wonderful job. My father-in-law asked Zachary to be a pall bearer and Kirk and I talked to Zachary about it and told him that it was his choice and at the young age of 8 decided that he wanted too and he did great! I was so touched watching Kirk and Zachary carry the casket. I observed tears streamming down Zachary's face and he shared with me, "Even though he did not see his Grandmother that often he felt her love." I feel so blessed to be the mother to a remarkable son. On the behalf of our family, we would like to thank everyone for their love, support, cards, and flowers. We truly have felt loved and comforted during this time.
