The home

My sis, What can I say about how wonderful she is? She has a heart of gold.She reminds me of her daddy, always wanting to help out where ever she is needed. Looking  as beautiful as her mommy. We had a wonderful time at her home yesterday and she fixed so many wonderful things to eat. We  got reaquainted with old friends and the house was decorated with beautiful things. It ws like stepping back in time.  We all used to live there at one time and the love everyone poured out on me when Gary and I first were married was so wonderful. I think I had my best Christmas  there at that house. The year I was pregnant with Chenoa, grandpa  Ivan came over that christmas morning excited. Wanted to see all of us.  The memories I have at that house just flooded me . We sure did have some great times there. The Tope family has always made me feel like I   belonged to all of them. The warmth and love from both sides of the family(Kerns an Topes)  I never new how loved you could feel from all. It hasn't always been easy for them either, but they continue to love anyone that comes through their door.   We all miss dad so much and wish he were here, but  he gets to spend Christmas with Jesus .How great is that!

     I just want to take a moment to thank everyone in the family for their love and support.Its been 31 years  in this family and its been wonderful to be with all of you.  I pray we will continue on having  wonderful times together and on into heaven. Julie, thank you so much for your love.
