We Made it Through Our 1st Christmas Without Our Beloved Robynn...

Brian, Brady and Hailey made it safely back to West Sac. The kids and I will head there Monday morning for Tuesday's service. If you missed the Bakersfield obituary, it is in the Saramento Bee today and tomorrow.
The busyness of Christmas; preparing to feed 40 people and then clean up, helped take the edge off our tremendous sadness. Thank you so much for your continued prayers.

Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side;
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In every change He faithful will remain. -von Schegel

Love and God bless
Pray On!

You all are in our thoughts and prayers ALWAY!! I know this has been a tough time, but what amazing people you are. The service was so beautiful...what a tribute to Robynn and Brian's love. A true love story is right!!! Thank you for inspiring us all to be more loving, more strong in our faith, more appreciative of what we have been blessed with. Big hugs to you Brian and Shelley and family.

Yes, thank you so much for keeping us updated. It is nice to hear that you were able to have sooo many people come together and celebrate the holidays.

Keeping busy is helpful in occupying our thoughts so we don't have to feel our loss as profoundly at this moment in time.

I will continue to pray, send positive thoughts, and loving support. Having gone through the grief process myself, it is when life quiets down and for the most part,returns to the normal day to day routine that I needed the strength,support, and inertia to move forward and get back in the groove of things.

So,all of you will be held close to my heart as you face the days ahead and just know that in spirit you are never alone...along with God...you have friends that you have never even met!

Love & friendship~

Hi Guys ~ Sure it was not easy to get through, but you did it! I'm sure Robynn's spirit was there helping you out!

S - can you please clarify which OLG location the service will be held at? People are a bit confused since there are technically two spots :) School church location?

Thank you and see you all on Tuesday.

Love, Kim

Thank you Shelly for the continued updates on Brian and the kids and of course you and the rest of your family. Also, I would like to thank you personally for the prayer request for Sean. Army Goodell is still standing strong. I know Sean as a beautiful angel looking over him in his recovery in Robynn. Sean is now on the road to getting better each day. I hope to see you and meet you and the memorial on Tuesday.
