Wednesday

It’s 1:30 AM and I just finished my sister’s memorial video. What a draining and exhausting thing to do, but I really hope it helps people with their grief process. Today was an angry day. John had me go to Woodhouse, my favorite spa for a massage. I wish I could say it had some lasting effects. However, for an hour and a half, I was able to relax. Thank God for John.

Here are some of my favorite photos.

My brother, Craig, is 12 years older than me and 6 years older than my sister. (Who is 6 years older than me.)

I represent the Lollipop Guild here. I LOVE Penny’s outfit. I wish I had the whole thing in my size. Penny Blog 1

Still in utter disbelief. I don’t know if her viewing today will make it sink in or just send me further into denial.

    Hey Betsy – Thanks for sharing those pictures of Penny and your family with us:) I just wamted share with you that that dress outfit of Penny’s that you said you LOVED and wish you had it . . . well, I actually had a dress very similar to that one when I was about her age AND I believe I had the exact same shoes, too. I actually wore the dress and shoes together at Lindsay’s Mom and Dad’s wedding about 30 years ago. Darn, if I still had it I would bring it right over to you. Thinking of you and your family today.

I pray for you to have the strength to get through this difficult time. Thank goodness for memories! All the best – Jessica, Todd and Olivia
