A certain hospital is having another closed door meeting soon.
The meeting is about Emmie-Rose for all the people that missed
the first closed door meeting.

I'm sure they would love to get your feedback.

Oct 13, 2006 Lord Help Us

Well here I am again...... I havent posted in a long time due to time and energy. As You all may have read in the previous post.. On Oct 10th, We lost My Grandmother!! :( To tell You the truth, Im not sure how much more I can mentally take in My life right now. As I sit here crying, I feel the need to at least post and let You all know We havent forgotten about You and will keep updated the blog as time permits Us to do so. We lost My Grandfather back in 1999 and in 2000 Our Precious Z was born, so We know that God gave Chris and I her as an Angel of Papo's and We are forever grateful for that. We still miss him daily. We know the Lord has a plan for Ganky (thats what the Grandchildren call her) and that She is holding Emmie-Rose right now and taking care of her. We know She is so happy seeing Papo (Husband) again and Aunt Kim (her daughter) and Shannon (Granddaughter), Emmie-Rose (Great Granddaughter). We started Visitation last night, tons of People came to pay their respects.

Please pray for Us during this time as this is just a HUGE BLOW to Our Family as Ganky was Our "Head of the Family".

Dear Ganky,

It's Stephanie, I want You to know that I will Always Love You and Never Forget You!! My Love for You will NEVER die!! I know You are so much happier with Jesus and Papo, Aunt Kim, Shannon, Emmie-Rose and My other two Babies. You have no more pain or sickness and never have to worry again. I want You to know that I am okay and will always be okay, I know You were worried about Me but there's no need. I will get through My situation the Best I can. I the supposed to worry about others, not others worrying about Me. Please tell Emmie-Rose and My other two Babies Mommy said Hello and that I miss them terribly. Please take care of them for Me and Always tell them Mommy Loves Them.

My love to You forevermore!!
Stephanie Jalyn

PS: Please give Kisses to Papo for Me, and tell him I always remember him rattling his pocket change. :)

PSS: Please give Kisses to Aunt Kim and tell her I always remember her white escort and stopping at the store/gas station for Nestle Alpine White candy bars and going to the park (and going to Farmer Jack's for her Crab legs). LOL

PSSS: Please give Kisses to Shannon and tell Her She was So Beautiful in Her Wedding Gown.

To all Our faithful Readers, We want to extend a Special Thank You to You for Supporting Us during this time of sorrow. We are forever Blessed and Grateful for the Love and support You have given to Us.

May God Bless All of You!

Love,
Stephanie Jalyn

Oct 9 - 12:46am It Happens In 3's

Why does it always seem that death comes in 3's?

Stephanie's grandmother(Ganky) was rushed to the hospital tonight
because of an Aneurysm.

So far a drain has been put into her head to help with swelling.
They are going to try and go in with what is called a coil to try and
stop the bleeding. If the coil does not work there may be nothing more
that can be done.

Her condition does not look very good right now.

We will keep you updated on her condition as we know more.

Lord give the family strength thru this all!

Chris

Oct 3 - Evening for reflection.

Last night Stephanie and I went to a memorial service at
St Joseph Mercy Hospital. They hold a memorial twice
a year for parents that have lost children.

It was heartbreaking, and in some ways comforting, to attend.
There were many other parents that have already gone thru
the same things Stephanie and I are going thru now.
The next one will be in May of next year.

It was good to hear the stories from other parents.
Both of us were crying so much I don’t think either of us
had the strength to get up and tell our story. Next one.
We had no idea what last night was going to be like.

All in all it was a good evening. Hearing the word
of God, hearing the words from other Parents, and also
talking with staff we have grown close to thru all of
Emmie-Roses travels.
We thank them so very much for everything!


I want to send a huge Thank You to friends and neighbors
that continue to send support and knock on our front door
with food, etc. You know who you are!

We are so blessed to have such great friends and neighbors.

THANK YOU!
