Most of all we are thankful to God for allowing us to have such wonderful friends. We are so thankful to God for carrying us through both of our journeys. We thank God for His grace, blessings, kindness, strength, guidance, and being able to lean on Him and His word and promises. Denna, Kevin, Courtney, and Brooke We appreciate each one who took part in the four fundraisers for us. Thanks for your donations, love, and prayers. I feel I owe a special thanks to several people; ~Kevin~ Thanks for being such a great husband and best friend. I appreciate how you stood by me through both of our journeys to our children. I do appreciate how God allowed us to go through this together. I appreciate your understanding, love, and support. I am so thankful that even though we went through some storms, we could make each other smile and that our love has remained strong. I would do it all over again. I love you honey. ~Courtney~ Thanks for being my sweet little miracle girl. You have brought me so much joy and happiness. I love you sweetie. ~Amy Towry~ I appreciate how Amy took the time to get my web site going for me. Within two days Amy had it going. Amy has done a great job, and we appreciate it very much.
