Wow!!! I am not sure there are words that can express the love and gratitude that I have for everyone that helped put in cash donations, supply donations, and time to help with the service project to honor my daughter's memory in a service that is needed and will help other families who feel the heart break of losing a child in infancy. So from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU!!! I don't think I have ever felt so much love and met so many selfless women. You are all truly amazing!!!
We had a fabulous turn out at both open house times. Everyone worked hard and enjoyed food and good company. I loved seeing and visiting with everyone even though I bounced around making sure everyone had boxes at their tables. Here are some pictures from the service project.( only regret not getting any from the afternoon time and more during the evening when more people were around. :(...)

I know my daughter was here to help see this project come together as a success. These precious boxes that have been made with love will be donated to hospitals in the area and to
Share Parents of the UT for the precious hand and feet molds of babies gone to soon. It has meant so much to us to have Jocelyn's little hands and feet and to know they are cradled in a sweet box that holds a lot of love. Thank you again and again for helping me in this project.
All the extra supplies and donations will be given to
Share parents of UT for future boxes and supplies to help make the molds themselves.
