I used to bowl with Kemah and she was so much fun. Even when she was going through therapy on her hand, her spirits were always up. Shawna--my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I lost my mom last year and I know how hard it is. If you ever need a shoulder to cry on, I am here.

Kemah Mae... I Love You very much. You were always so kind to me. Your spirit was open and non-judgmental. You listened to that still, small voice in Your heart and acted on it. Thank You for letting me pray for You, and praying for me in return. I cry when I think of our loss, but I smile when I think of Your new freedom and joy. May we take peace from this and a small bit of that joy to carry us through our time of grief.
