Easter Update

Val spent a quiet day with her family on Easter. Her pain level has dropped and was actually able to go outside and watch the kids do an Easter egg hunt late yesterday afternoon. Hospice is back to help Val starting last night. Char is back in town too.

Val,

It was so nice to hear your little voice this morning. It was of comfort to me just to hear you on the other end of the line across the miles.

It was very hard for me to say goodbye to you last week. How do you say goodbye to your good friend? How do you let go? It seems selfish of me to not want to let you go. I come home and engage in my life and I want to believe that this is not really happening. I know that you are going to a better place. I know that you will have peace for all of eternity. I believe that with all of my heart. It is just not the natural progression of how things should be. I want you to raise your boys. I want you to be married for 50 years to Chris.

I miss you,

Marianne

Seeing all that has been shown to us over the last year and a half only makes us appreciate the time we have with our loved one's even more. If we thought that we had troubles before, we were blind. There is no reason to complain or want for more, for we have life and the ability to help others in their time of need.

Val you are dearly loved.

Dear Father -

I know we have no power on our own, and really no right to ask on our own, but in Jesus name, because of His power, and His worthiness, we plead for Val's life. Please restore her to her family. Cover this family with Your peace that surpasses all comprehension.

Thank you for the true, unending life you have given us.

On Easter Bev and I especially thought of you and your family. We thought of the glorious hope of resurrection that stands against our fear of death.

We also remembered that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead resides within us through the abiding prsence of the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1).

We prayed for you and for God's mercy which is "new every morning".

Love,

Dale and Bev

Mary...You could not have said that better. For me Val entered my life for a season, but the impact that she has left on me will last a lifetime. The things that I have learned from Val and others in this blog are life changing. I THANK YOU to Val. God Bless You Val and may you find peace....I continue to pray.

Val - I love that picture your dad posted on the last blog. I laughed because I had the exact same hairdo when I was that age. I bet underneath those barettes are some "wings"! Remember those? :-) I'm still praying everyday for your healing. And loving and kissing my children a little more, for your site and family have reminded all of us what a blessing and a joy they can be. Love, Laura P. (Atlanta)

Your family is in my thoughts. Yesterday as I was trying to get my kids to school on time, racing around, without, my first cup of Starbucks, and feeling like a grump, Val came to my mind. I thought Val would love to do the mundane, daily things in life that we so take for granted, and look upon as a chore.

God Bless her soul.

It has been so great to read all her friends blogs about them sharing their history with Val. Thank you for letting us into your lives.

Will continue our prayers from St. Louis.
