I was just reading over the caringbridge website and just really having a hard time knowing it has to be closed out. Our family never dreamed how God would use the website to minister to us through the journey with Kathy. We went into the website thinking that this would be a wonderful way to keep everyone posted on day to day happenings with Kathy so others would know how to pray for her. From the beginning the caringbridge website has been a gift from God. Now that Kathy is with the Lord we are going to use this blog to stay in touch with you and we hope that you will comment and let us know what is going on with you and your love ones. When Christy and I was talking about a name for the blog I could only come up with grace-soaked bunch because we truly are! I hope to get some pictures on here as time goes on. Of course I will have to let the" smart ones" in the family put them on here since I have no clue how to do that. I am still feeling pretty smart just being able to do this! :-).........the kids and Harv says I am living proof you can do something and not know what you are doing! Of course, Christy did have to type directions for me to know how to blog but I am getting the hang of it. We ask God to smile on this blog and use it to reach out and touch others for the better. So friends and family thank you for staying with us on here and be excited to see how God will allow this blog for kingdom gain.
Christy, her Rick, Nathan, Kurt and Rick went to Branson overnight. I have text Christy and all have a good time. We are thankful they are enjoying Branson.
I tried to post on the comment side because I wanted to comment on what a beautiful wall arrangement Christy had done but I losted it once I posted it so will have to work on that. Guess I am not as smart as I think I am! :-)
Jamie it is great seeing you on here. We all love you!

Christy, Rick, Ginger and rest of
family members. I don't have a clue what I'm doing with this blog stuff! I'm glad you have decided to do this to stay in touch and let us know how you guys are doing.
All of you have been in my prayers
so much since Kathy left you to be with our Lord. Christy, I especially relate to you and your feelings about losing a mother. To this day I can still be driving to the mall or doing any of the things I always did with mom (my best friend) and out of the blue I
burst into tears thinking that she should be here with me. Or I'll suddenly get the urge to call her up to tell her something then suddenly realize I can't do that anymore. There's not a day goes by that I don't think of her and miss her so I'm just warning you that the tears may continue for a long time yet. For me it will be
4 years this November and it still doesn't seem real. I was so Blessed to have my mom around for 50 years of my life and your mom wasn't much older than that when God called her home. I guess I'm trying to say that the pain of the loss will get easier with time and prayer, but you'll never get to the point that you're not constantly reminded of her and wish you could just see her one more time and give her one more hug and tell her how much you love her. It just gets easier to accept that she's not here with you as time goes by. I've often wondered how people that don't have God in their life and the promise of eternity ever get through the death of a loved one. I can't imagine life without that promise and knowing that one day I'll see mom again in a perfect world with God. Can't wait!
I've loved the pictures you've posted of your family. Kathy was still so pretty all the way to the end.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
In Christ Love,
Jeaney
