Today has been 9 weeks since Kearstin's passing. Our days are still very difficult to get through. I want to thank all of you who have continued to support us with your love and prayers...it's so true that once a love one passes and everything is "over" and everyone goes on with their own lives this is when we need you the most....

I have been trying to focus on how to keep Kearstin's memory alive, if any of you have any suggestions please contact me...I really don't know what to do. I have contacted AI Dupont to have Kearstin's name somewhere like on a memory wall or a bench or something, but they are in the middle of adding onto the hospital and right now have nothing to offer. I also contacted the Ronald McDonald House for the same thing, but the company they used to use for this kind of thing are no longer under contract with them...they are in the middle of trying to find another company. As you can imagaine trying to keep Kearstin's memory alive in ways I only know how and not succeeding is heartbreaking. It's just really important for us to keep Kearstin's memory alive.

The day before Mother's day we had a meeting with the funeral home to go over the final drawing of Kearstin's headstone before it was to be cut. While we were there we got terrible news that they didn't want to share with us but had no choice but to do so. To make a very long story shorter, the cemetary that Kearstin is at is a very old country cemetary and has been passed down from generation to generation.....with the passing down time and time again records have been so unorganized and the people that have the deeds now have a mess in their laps to clean up. Anyway, they proceeded to tell us that Kearstin was put in the wrong plot and had no choice but to be moved. We were devistated to say the least....we couldn't believe what they told us. Kearstin was moved two weeks ago this past Thursday. She is still in the same cemetary, but in a different plot. The only bit of comfort I had with Kearstin out there was that she was buried next to my Mom, now she isn't. It still breaks my heart when I go out the the cemetary and see two disturbed places, one where she used to be and another where she is now.

I hope all of you had a wonderful and safe Memorial Day today. I have remembered those who have sacrificed and served for our country along with the Heros that have gone before us...not forgetting the families that have lost children including Kearstin....for me they are and always will be the Heros in our lives...

Once again thank you for your love, support and prayers they are certainly appreciated and needed more than you know !

Love,
Florie
