tributes

It has been forever since I have posted. We have had a lot of things happen. Sadly, my wonderful father passed away unexpectedly on Oct 27th in his sleep. He was the most sincere, loving, and remarkable father and I am so blessed I had him in my life for as long as I did. He was an amazing grandfather too, and my son Jack misses him dearly.He made sure Jack was able to see the ocean and took us on trips to fla. He loved collecting shells with Jack and they spent hours and hours together walking on the beach and I know Jack will always remember. It is nice sharing memories of time spent with him. Our family is healing but will always feel the magnitude of our loss.

Also, my friend Bea passed away from leukemia on jan 6th. She was 34 yrs old and lived her life to the fullest.She was a witty, smart, beautiful and her smile lit up any room she walked in. She is definitely always going to be in the hearts of all who loved her and we were lucky enough to have had her in our lives.

Yesterday, my mother in law lost her battle with cancer. She was an amazing woman. She always was able to comfort me whenever anything went wrong in my life.She loved with every ounce she had. She was entertaining and I loved to call her on the phone to chat about anything under the sun. She was an extraordinary grandmother and always made time to spend with her grandchildren.When she was ill, she still had a weekly lunch date to see my children and give them all the love they needed. She will be missed very much but will always be in our hearts.I was extremely blessed having a mother in law that I loved so much!
