Relay For Life

we are on the track getting ready for the survivor lap


all the survivors made hand prints for a large banner
hear is my candlehere is Aunt Jeans all the bags around the track they each have a name on them either in honor of or in memory of and each name will be read out loud as they light each candle. the candles will help us see in the middle of the night

We are doing the survivor lap

That evening after they lit the candles we had thunderstorms
and all the bags got wet and they tried to keep them lit as much as possible but some bags caught on fire most got so wet they fell over
but one stood tall in front of the word HOPE
It was Jean's
I like to think she was there watching over us on the track as we walked around in the dark



Kirsten and I walked from 3:00Am- 5AM

I think she was the youngest walker this year

My team came in 4th place in fundraising of 15 teams in the Mifflinburg area which is great for only having 17 members

and I raised $250.00 in honor of Jean

Hi Kathy,

I haven't visited your blog in awhile but I wanted to leave a note for you this time. I have just reviewed all of your pictures and they are so beautiful. The children are just precious. I commend you on your efforts with the Relay for Life. That was a great thing you did. Is everybody enjoying the summer now that school is out? Audrey favors you so much when you were her age. Kirsten looks like a little doll in Audrey's arms. Kathy, you have a nice family and I am really very happy for you. Actually, I heard from your mom tonight and she tells me she is going to Denver. She spoke of Karen's trip to ME and her visit to your home. Enjoy the rest of the summer. Take care. Love, Mrs. Durette (Susan)
