Blessings to you all! Mother's Day this year is a one, two punch for my family too. 13 years ago, my father passed away. I find celebrating Mother's Day and remembering the passing of my father is bittersweet for my mother, my sister and myself. But, in everything, we take the one, two punches with the help of God, our family and friends. Praying for you always. Hartelijk gefeliceteerd met jou dochter’s verjaardag! Blessings to you all!

Mother’s Day this year is a one, two punch for my family too. 13 years ago, my father passed away. I find celebrating Mother’s Day and remembering the passing of my father is bittersweet for my mother, my sister and myself. But, in everything, we take the one, two punches with the help of God, our family and friends.

Praying for you always.

Mother's Day- I do think it is pretty cool ( God planned?) that Zekijah can celebrate LIFE, her second birthday on mother's day, as you all remember Marisa too. Just want you to know that we remember Marisa too, we know she was a terrific mother; please know that we are praying for you still, for God's strength to be your strength. love and prayers annette and rob steph and mike too Dear Mendelt,
