Merry Christmas!

Mom and Dad will be spending Christmas in Marshall, Texas, surrounded by loving friends. Ruby is slowly declining each day. Her kidneys have stopped working, she has a staph infection, and she also has pneumonia. Days are long and labored for her, but we know and trust that God has her in His loving care.

A good friend (Kennie Beth Smith, actually) recently said that "Christians are never far away from family when other Christians are near". The road my parents have traveled this past year with Mom's cancer diagnosis, and the illnesses of Aunt Ruby, have proven that point over and over again. How can we ever thank all the people who have reached out and supported and loved Jim and Trudie the past year? From Waxahachie, to Sugar Land, to Marshall, all the way to Connecticut, and points in-between....prayers, cards, food, love and support have been boundless. God bless everyone this Christmas season. Thank you for being our family.

Merry Christmas!!!
