We have received many emails and notes thanking us for keeping everybody up to date on how things are going for us, it is so nice that so many people are thinking of us and checking in and we wanted to thank you all for that.
We have been keeping busy the best we can. The past two fridays we have attended Relay for Life events. This past week was the walk in Sebastian. We were so touched by all the Lumanarees made by the children from Christopher & Samantha's school in Memory of Samantha. They did such a nice job on the bags, it really touched our hearts. A big thank you to all you special kids!!
On Saturday our church had a special "Mass of Memories" for families that have lost a loved one in the past six months. It was a beautiful candle light ceremony, again it really touched our hearts and we were very thankful to be there.
While we were at the Mass friends of ours were holding a yard sale benefit at the church where Samantha attended pre-school. The kindness, hard work, and generousity of many made the day a successful one. We really appreciate all you did and for continuing to think of us. A special thank you to all involved.
As the days have been busy the emptiness doesn't seem to lessen. It is everywhere that we go and everything that we do that I find myself or Kurt saying "Samantha would have loved this", or this is nice but we are missing part of our family. Those feelings that come over us are so painful. We miss you so much princess.
Christopher is keeping busy with soccer and has now been practicing for the schools track meet tomorrow. He was thrilled to make the team and is really looking forward to that. Jason is getting so big so fast. He is a real mix between Christopher and Samantha. When he smiles his whole face smiles just like his big sisiter.
We are working on finding families in unfortunate similiar situations as we were in to help with the proceeds from the golf outing. It is heartbreaking how many lives are turned upside down by this "monster". We do look forward to being able to make a difference for these families and again thanks to all that attended/donated this year. We will keep you updated on those your caring hearts have helped.
Thank you all again for all you have done and continue to do for us. It is just not possible to put into words how grateful we are to all of you for being by our side.
With love,
Audra, Kurt, Christopher, & Jason
