In Loving Memory


Late last night or early this morning I awoke with a start. I got up and went and got a glass of water, as I was drinking my water my eye glanced at the calendar and then at the time. The time was 12:04 am and the day January 23, 2010. My mind immediately became aware that it was 10 years ago today at 12:09 am that my dear mother Pauline passed away. It seems like yesterday, yet at the same time it seems like a lifetime ago. The years have healed the outside wound. I don't cry outwardly as often as I use to, but inwardly I miss her deeply and wish I could tell her this or that. Her courage and example of how she faced life with a smile has given me courage so many time when I face challenges in my life. And so ten years later I reflect...
Thank you Mom. I love you!!


Mom had a fun sense of humor. We always seemed to have fun together.

We have a New Uncle David Club Member

Announcing the new arrival of Shaela Linda Boyer.

She was born December 30, 2009. Juliann's Brother and Sister-in-Law (Robert and Kris) are the proud parents. They had been hoping to adopt soon but were surprised when they got the call that they needed to be at the hospital in 15 minutes as the birth mom had decided that she wanted Robert and Kris to be the parents and was going to be leaving the hospital soon---Kris called me on the phone and said, "Guess where we are going?" I was very surprised to hear they were going to the hospital to pick up Shaela. We went and saw her and she is adorable. We are a proud Aunt and Uncle.
