Tia and Tio and cousins
I would like to start off by letting you know that you’re in my prayers and thoughts. I look forward to seeing everyone. When I look up into the sky at night and see all the stars, I think how grandma must feel seeing all of us pull together when one of us is in need. The enourmous strenght and faith we all have in the lord will guide us through this difficult time.
Love your nephew and cousin:

Joci and Joanna,
I love you both dearly. You two have become such beautiful women, inside and out. I know this comes from your parents and your faith. My thoughts are on you two often right now. I remember about a year and a half ago when my mother had cancer. It was scary beyond my wildest imagination. My faith in our Lord grew stronger that day. Not because i knew He would fix her, but that his hands were upon us and it was comforting.
Your mom and dad welcomed me in when my mom was at Stanford Hospital so that i could be close to my mom. They gave me a shoulder to cry on, ears to listen to me, arms to hold me, and words to keep my Faith strong. They helped me understand myself better and this would we live in. It is amazing our family. Even when Nana was sick, she had strength. unbelievable strength. All her children have this strength. I know your mom is staying strong. I think that when Nana went back home her strength went to each of us and made us be able to move mountains if we tried.
I can’t wait to see you both. To laugh, to cry, to just BE with each other. I love you again…God Bless.

Hello Dave and Irene,
It sounds to me that your faith is really being tested especially Irene. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Irene, Dave and the girls. Just know there are many who are praying for you and your swift recovery.. May God Bless you and your family.
Irene know that I say the rosary for you daily and ask the Blessed Mary to help you in your time of need. It sounds that you have great support from your beloved husband and beautiful grown-up daughters.
What Frank has done I bet has been a godsend to you and your family because you need to know that we all love and are thinking of you. May your guardian angels be with you always.
Love from us Rich, Stephanie and Dieter
