"That's not Jello"

Long-story-short, that's what C said after the banter at the neighbor dinner party last night...was it jello, was it cheese cake, what was it? Six couples laughing loudly about it, struck a funny bone with all. But Shawn, C still ate it...

Last night, our neighbors had 5 other neighbor couples over for some holiday cheer. Tony & Noreen live just two doors down and have just added to their split level house....with new kitchen and dinning room, Nor wanted to break it in. These couples (and others not there) are the neighbors that fed us for weeks after the wake/funeral and continue to provide great support for us...they'll also be putting together the Luminary Lighting today...what great people they are. God is certainly all around us--in them!!

It was so nice to enjoy an evening of great conversation, laughter and gift exchange with them all. There were some tears as Chris(tine) asked about how we're getting along, and talk about Christine...but more joy than anything.

Thank you all for helping us cope, with out even knowing it!!

M-thank you for sharing your thoughts. Just did my first read-through & it broke me down. One of the twins called yesterday because she was talking to someone about Christine and it turns out they already knew her story. They knew a close friend of C's sis. Directly or indirectly, Christine continues to touch many people. You all are in many people's thoughts & prayers. J
