Loss

by | Sep 26, 2015 | Uncategorized | 22 comments

Our family has suffered a devastating loss this weekend. My brother and my sister-in-law lost their daughter in a hiking accident. There are no words to express the pain.

Here is one of my favorite pics of Jen – standing tall and proud.

She is loved by so many and will be missed so much.

Jen & Nick

I know you’ll understand when I say that I’m taking a short break from blogging. Thanks so much for your support.

    Beth – I really have no words. Reading your post shocked me, and then I felt sorrowful. Why do these things happen? You, your brother, sister-in-law and Jen will be in my thoughts and prayers.

    Sending you hugs, comfort and support.
