Journal entry by Roger Ryburn —
"The LORD is my portion and my inheritance," says my soul; "therefore I have hope in Him and wait expectantly for Him" - Lamentations 3:24
As I am sitting here trying to keep it together looking back at the past 4 months and remember every person, card, visit, or donation it is overwhelming at best. I often think of how I could possibly repay or even thank everybody for their donations, time, prayers, Love, or for most of all being there. There is not enough time or money to ever repay or thank you all for the strength you have given our family, for being there in our time of incredible need. Julie and I have been truly blessed with the most loving and incredible friends and family on the planet. THANK YOU!!!
Even though the miracle we were all praying for didn't happen God blessed us with so many along the way. I have to tell you that each of you at some point along the way were a miracle. Looking back, when I or our family needed a hug, words of encouragement, or just somebody to sit with us, God sent you. I thank God daily for all of you!
Ephesians 1:11 Says "In Him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will"
A Poem for Julie by Lang Leav

If you came to me with a face I have not seen, with a voice I have not heard, I would still know you. Even if centuries separated us, I would still feel you. Somewhere between the sand and the stardust, through every collapse and creation, there is a pulse that echoes of you and I.
When we leave this world, we give up all our possessions and our memories. Love is the only thing we take with us. It is all we carry from one life to the next."
Julie over flowed love every day in everything she did, and never ran out. I know that she is now being showered with the Love of our father in heaven.
