For Teresa and Karen







Mom and Mom, 
How can we possibly thank you for your love and servant-hood to us?  Over the years you have both been a part of our lives for good.  Whether it was traveling to Japan to support us because we couldn't make it home, helping us plan parties, combing the local hospitals trying to find your newborn granddaughter, drying little boys pants when they fall in the creek, or just   encouraging us by the Word.  We realize the sacrifice you have both made in living so far away from us, your children.  Wishing to be near, but unable to do so. The Marine Corps has challenged you as well.  We hold you in high esteem and would love to be with you in person on this day to hug you and kiss your cheek.  Please know the place you hold in our hearts runs deep and is treasured there.  Not only are you a special gem to us, but your grandchildren hold you both in high regard.  Your presence in their lives has influenced and trained them in such a way that the memories they have now, will only grow sweeter with the years.  We love and adore you both!   Happy Mother's Day!

Love, 
Jake and Christie

Dear Children and Grandchildren, Thank you so much for the tender words on Mother' Day. Christie, a blessed and happy Mother's Day to you as well. God has graced us with the most beautiful person inside and well as out and couldn't have wished for more wonderful daughter-in-law (really daughter) and wonderful mother to our grandchildren. " and her children rise up and call her blessed." Proverbs 31:28J Jake is a blessed husband and father since the Lord found you for him. Love, Mom

thank you for such kind words. it has taken me a few days to compose myself to write this note. I miss you all sooooo much ... I sat thinking of my children and grandchildren ... memories of days filled with little voices in the house. I love you all and my heart bursts with emotions with the thought of you.
