"Life is hard, but life is simple. Get on the path and never, ever give up. You never give up. You just keep on going. You don't quit, and you will make it.
There is only one way to happiness and fulfillment. Jesus Christ is the Way. Every other way, any other way, whatever other way is foolisheness."
-Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge

Remembering Zach

Happy birthday Zachery! His birthday was May 13 and to celebrate we had super tuna sandwiches and a brownie cake.









It has been 3 years today since our little Zachery has passed away. We miss him, but we also feel him very close to us everyday and know that he is not gone. We are so grateful to have Zach in our lives and thankful thousands of times over for the blessings that we have recieved because of him. We took Ruby to his grave today and it was the first time that she didn't fall asleep in the car on the way to the cemetery. We are especially grateful this year, for the blessings we recieved because of Zach to help Ruby get to earth safely. We also express gratitude to all of our family and friends who were so supportive to us and hope that some day we can repay the service done to us. We are so grateful for the plan of salvation and that we can be together with him again. Perry and I had the opportunity to go to the temple on his birthday and I can honestly say that I know heaven is not far away. It is very close, and I know that there are angels watching over us. How blessed we are to have our own special angel to watch us from the other side, and help us go through trials so that we can become better people.

I love you Valerie. I am so lucky to be your sister. you are both wonderful examples to Jeff and I. I am comforted to know that our family has your family in the years to come. I want to show you the projects we've come up with for St. Lukes and see what you think. Glad you're enjoying the books, my friend read all 5 in one week.
