02/11 Well, I never knew when the phone calls were made to meet at Picasso for lunch how special this time would someday real soon mean to me. While we were back home Lacey and I got to meet our cousins Donna, Denice(Nicey), and her daughter Kelley for lunch while Sasha was getting her hair done. Just a normal day and a normal fun talking lunch, while they loved on Lacey. Donna and Nicey were more like my mom's sisters and my aunts. We were all really close when we were growing up and now. We had a great time and so thankful for all the pictures we were able to take. Congratulations were in order for Kelley, her and Jacob got engaged!! Until later that night I had never met him, but he seemed precious. Days later when I am writing this, the family has grown to love him even more. Their date is October 16th, so excited God has placed Jacob in Kelley's life and she is getting to experience such an exciting time. One week after this lunch, Nicey's heart suddenly stopped one night at home, to make a long emotional prayer filled week for the family short, she went to be with Jesus about a week later, a little over 2 weeks from today. This was very sudden and shocking, but we are all having to trust it is God's will and give Him glory for who she touched during her life. Also giving Him glory for what He will do in the coming days in people's life that are familiar with the story. My heart aches and she will be missed, but my heart aches even more for the people hurting that was part of her daily life. Her husband Bill, kids Jason and Kelley, and sister Donna. I continue to lift them up in prayer that God's peace and comfort will overwhelm them. Please if you read this blog, lift them up as well. The bottom line is enjoy every moment!!!! Act now, share your feelings now, tell them you love them now!!! I would have never thought it would have been our last conversation, our last hug, her last time to see Lacey, the last time to see her smile until we meet in heaven one day!! Enjoy the pics I will treasure them forever!!!
Hey Leah! I just saw your comment on my blog. I started the blog a long time ago, but never really kept up with it. Then when I got pregnant, Denice showed me your blog one day at work and I thought it was such a good way for out of town friends and family to keep up with us! She also went on and on about all your cute pictures of Lacey and gave me some great ideas for newborn pics! :) We miss her every day at work! Hope all is well with y'all!
