I want to convey a big thank you to all of our family and friends who have stood by us and held us up over the last year and a half. Over the time of Mel’s last days and funeral, there was a sense of numbness that crept in to our souls. The planning and [...]

My Week Without Melanie.
Posted in Melanie on March 14, 2008 | 13 Comments »
I really debated whether I should write–in so many ways it seems selfish to “bother” people with the beginning of a new journey–and yet many ask, read, write, or call really wanting to know how things are going–so I suppose I may update from time to time. Life goes on for everyone–if you think life [...]

I knew that sometime soon I wanted to sit down to write some memories about Melanie from a Mom’s heart–after the time of “open mic” at the funeral, so many memories were shared with us that are very special to us–if you have the time, we would love to hear from those of you that [...]

Tonight I find it difficult to sleep, so I am putting my thoughts out there maybe as some sort of therapy. What more could be said than I miss our Mel. I miss her always wanting to say “goodnite, love you, see you in the morning”, yes my sweet Mel, we will see you in [...]

For those planning to attend Melanie’s viewing, it has been suggested that at many people as possible should try to go to the earlier viewing tomorrow instead of the later one. The concern would be the amount of people likely to come during the evening viewing. Mel’s obituary can be accessed here> NewszapDE Thanks, Rob [...]

Sunday Morning.

We stayed with Mel and the family over night. Mel’s breathing continues to be rather labored and sometimes shallow. She continues on oxygen and her urine output is very minimal. We really don’t expect her to hold on too much longer. Thanks so much for your interest and continued prayer support. I really believe it [...]
