It's been a very busy weekend for us; a weekend filled with love from many family and friends. How do we thank so many people for showing us so much love?
I would like to thank Andy & Becky Joffer for stopping by and visiting us. It means so much to both Mike and I, words cannot express how thankful we are to be a part of the Jelly Belly family. We feel the love and prayers from so many of the "bellys" and we are very grateful.
Thank you to friends; Darcy Smith, Sandra Hymowitz and Kristie Wenzel; you have kept us well fed and we are all so impressed with your culinary skills!
Thank you to the Schoenfelder & Pinto families, your visit really gave us hope and renewed our strength. Our home was filled with even more love when your families were here; all of you are such blessings to us. Special thanks to our sister in love, Pam for all of her knowledge, research and gifts. Pam you are truly amazing and inspiring, you've faced your own journey with cancer with so much bravery and we are so grateful for you and your generous loving spirit.
Seeing our daughter, Tessa, our son in love, Sam and our grandchildren, Lexi, 13 & Jackson 7, is always a treat for us. There were a lot of giggles as Jackson read Papa's favorite storybook "Guess How Much I Love You" and he pulled Papa's joke and read "Little Nutbrown Hare" as "Little Brown Butt Hair" : )
My heartfelt gratitude for Mike's mom, Jeanine aka "Little Mama" and his brother, Mark aka "Bromine". There are no words to express how much it means to have them with us and how much they have helped us. "Little Mama" is the sweetest mom on the planet and we are so blessed to have her in our life. "Bromine" has been a lifesaver as he fixed things around the house and entertained all of the visiting kids. Without them here these days would have been much darker for us.
The love of family and friends keeps us afloat and inspires us to be more aware of how we should give back when others are in need. Thank you all for you thoughts and prayers we are so very grateful for all of you!
Mike and Chris, I'm so grateful for your loving friends and family in CA. Know that we are all thinking of you and praying for you here in the midwest. We will be seeing you soon. xoxoxo Carol
