White Lake 2009
White Lake 2008Loved Ones,
We are back from White Lake. We had a great week there. Though it was heartbreaking to arrive without Ray, we felt very close to him, doing the things he did each summer since he was a little boy. It was great to be with his family as well. Uncle Joe renamed the White Lake Golf scramble in Ray's honor and made special shirts with his picture -- a lovely one of Ray at last year's golf event.
It is still very hard to believe that we were all together at White Lake only one year ago. And it is always very hard to get back in the car to go home without him.
Now that we are back at home, we are busy swimming every day so that we are ready to begin school on August 19! That's the first day of first grade for Nora so we are making the most of our time at the pool.
We are thankful for your continued prayers.
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." Matthew 5:4
not alone and not afraid --

Kristen,
Wow, How poignant to see the picture from last year and the one from this year. It almost as if Ray hopped off of the picnic table to take the picture of you and the girls. I know you miss him so much, and I just want you to know that even though we are approaching 7 months without him that we pray for you and the girls every night. Stay Strong!
