JUST SO YOU KNOW, THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE IS ACTUALLY FROM RICH AND PEG.
Dear friends and family,Please know that your messages are read and taken to heart even though Rich and I don't get much time to sit down to write to let you know. We know we are being held by the prayers of many and continue to believe that we will not crash onto the rocks. We are blessed, truly, by the "long distance" support of all of you who visit this blog, call,and send cards or letters; and by our dear children, Jacob, Rachael and Scot, who dare to be up close in all this. It breaks a mother's heart to see her children have to bear so much pain. There are rumors that tomorrow we may be visited by our Stella and Luke. Oh the joy and hope those two beautiful grandchildren bring to us!Continue to remember us as we do you......With deep love,Rich and Peg

Dear Peg and Rich,
ReplyDeleteThis is Aunt Jane and this is my first attempt at blogging. Kass has shown me the pictures of you and your beautiful grandchildren, and I have read all your updates. I'm really pulling for you all.
Since tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day, I'll leave you with a toast. "May Your Heart Be Warm and Happy With the Lilt of Irish Laughter, Every Day in Every Way, And Forever and Ever After.
Blessings to you and yours,
Love Aunt Jane
Dear Rich,
ReplyDeleteYour paintings are Emotion in color and movement; dramatic, beautiful, true art. I should have known you'd be the artist in the family; do you remember the India ink drawing you did of the unique ginko tree in Victory Park? You were only in the 6th grade and the drawing was excellent...especially in such a difficult medium. We'd love to see more of your artwork. Mom receives many compliments on the framed painting in her living room which you titled,"Lake Smithigan". We're praying that you will paint again. Love, Carol and Gary
