TOTAL SUCCESS!!! A Walk to Remember will not be forgotten.

Saturday, October 8 WAS a walk to remember. We had over 100 people attend and walk. Over 65 balloons were released for all the sweet angel babies. It was a perfectly beautiful day, with a light cool breeze and sunshine at a beautiful park. I personally was suprised, overjoyed and intensely touched that my cousin, Murray, and his wife Jaime and my cousin, Melody, and her husband Brad attended along with my Uncle Leon who led the opening prayer for our ceremony. My other cousin (their brother), Michael and his wife Darla lost a baby girl over 10 years ago, and I was honored that Melody released a balloon for my little angel cousin, Hope McKenzie.

It was a bittersweet day in that it is overwhelmingly sad how many people need support, but healing and thrilling that they allow us to provide support for them!

I wasn't able to take any pictures, but Torrie from Seavers Photography took alot, and my friend Peggy Haguewood took a few of my family. Here are a few...
