Messages to Maree

Sometimes we all miss Maree and wish we could have her close again so we could express our great love for her.  Since I can't pull her down from Heaven (although I wish I could at times), we decided to send some love up to her.  We all wrote messages or drew pictures on balloons to tell Maree how much we love and miss her.  It can be difficult at times to say what we are feeling, so this gave us all the chance to put some of it into words.  Each one of the kids took special care to make their message just right.

We took all of our balloons out to the cemetary and released them by Maree's grave.  It never gets easier to not have her with us, but moments like this are comforting to help us connect with her and remember what an important part of our family she is.  Maree truely is our angel!  How grateful we are that families are eternal!

"Love you, Maree!!!!!!"
