The New Mr. & Mrs.

Yes! It is official. Our lovely daughter Stephanie and her "husband" Pat married this weekend! (Please excuse the crappy photo, it was the best my pitiful camera could manage). It was a lovely ceremony in a historic church located in downtown Detroit. The weather was lousy, rainy and overcast, but it didn't dampen the joy and excitement for this couple.

The reception was wonderful, good friends and family came together to help celebrate and make this day one they would remember forever as they begin their life together. I could not have been more aware of just how fast time flies and before me where there was my daughter, my first born, our little girl, was a now a beautiful married woman.

I want to thank everyone who came, and made this wedding such a wonderful and memorable day for our family.

She is Home...

Yesterday, the world lost a dear lady, and blogger, and I, among many lost a dear friend. Renee (Circling My Head) was welcomed home in heaven yesterday. She had bravely battled cancer for years. She lost her dear nephew, Sheldon to cancer last year, and her loving mother just last month.

Her sister Jacquie, Sheldon's mother, has also been touched by this brutal disease. I cannot convey how much I will miss her sweet comments, and the little chats we had. I can't help feeling how unfair that one family should suffer so much loss and pain, and that we should lose such a loving soul so soon.

I pray God grant her the peace and comfort in heaven she was denied here on earth. I know she is among his angels, Sheldon, Daisy, and Renee all watching over her family from above. My deepest condolences for her family in this time of loss.
