I have been gone ALL WEEK from blogging land. Our hearts are broken ... the daughter of a very good family friend was accidentally killed on November 23. She was only 12 years old ... beautiful and fun and vivacious and lovely ... I spent ALL last week doing a 36-page memory book for the funeral (which was on Saturday). Thank HEAVENS for MDS!!! And because I had received SO many photos from her friends/family, I also put together a slide show (which was shown at the viewing before the funeral). I feel SO incredibly blessed and humbled that the family asked me to help them out with this. And I KNOW that angels were on my shoulder helping me along (especially sweet little Addy!). NO WAY could I have EVER done a 36-page album in a day and a half withOUT her help!! MUCH love and support to the Robbins/Clinger family ...
