It's been a long month.  We all miss Mary deeply here.  I keep expecting to get a call or a text from her as if she's on some sort of vacation.  We're slowly trying to acclimate to our new normal.  

I can't thank all of you enough.  The support we've felt from our local community, friends, family and even strangers from afar.  It's overwhelming to witness the outpouring of love that we've received.  Food, donations, a shoulder to cry on, rides, texts, memories, photos, stories - all have been pouring in and it means the world to Ella, Henry and I.   You are helping us in all the ways we need right now and I'll never be able to fully share how I feel through words and posts online... but I have to try.

Mary's services last weekend came together in the most perfect way, again through the support and help of many - I was able to send her off in the way I knew she'd love, through music and personal heartfelt words from so many.  I only wish I could have spent time with all of our visitors.

Please know that all of the support you have sent our way, no matter what form, is appreciated and keeping us going in this tragic moment we are forced to navigate.  These past weeks have shown me both my deepest lows and highest highs in ways I could have never imagined.  Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

On a lighter note, If you knew Mary in any way, she most likely snuck a Disney Parks tidbit into conversation since they were truly one of her most happy places to visit. We were blessed to have the ability to visit more than we should have in the past years and her laugh during those visits was infectious and pure.  I wanted to share it with you.

With Love, Jim
