grief.

I wish with all of my heart that I didn't have to write this.

This morning at 4:35, Deb Hepler passed away. The past 8 days have held more worry, high hopes, crushed dreams and sorrow than I could ever put into words.

I don't know how to tell my Katie and Carter that their Mama Deb is gone. I do know that I will be grateful for all my days for the way she loved them.

We will see you again, mama deb.

Corinne...I am so sorry. Anyone could tell by the pictures that she was a wonderful woman who loved your children dearly. You are all in my thoughts.
Love,
Kim

I miss her and I know not an inkling as much as you and Eric and your kiddos will. I am sad that there is a space where her beauty was -- she lives on in your family. I love you. I am so sorry that grief has entered your life again. I feel what you feel. I love you more than me.

we are jay and deb's neighbors, looking out their front door, to the left (brian and erin clark). oh wow, are we praying for you guys to feel the nearness of God in all of this, as He weeps with you, not wanting anyone to perish.

ps: your pictures are beautiful. did jay and deb ever get to go to the gorgeous lake house?
