On January 17th we attended a Life Celebration party for Ginny's cousin Heather. Heather has been battling a terminal illness known as ALS for the last few years. The disease has taken nearly all of her physical ablility away, including being able to breathe on her own. She was placed on a ventilator a few months back. She was warned before they did the surgery that she may not be able to speak afterwards. She went ahead with the surgery. A couple of days later she was speaking and has been able to speak since the surgery, which is very rare for someone in her condition, truly amazing. Heather has chosen to leave her mortal life and continue her life in heaven. She has chosen to be removed from her ventilator on January 26th. We are so thankful to have shared in this special evening with Heather. Heather has been an inspiration to all of us. She is an amazing woman and will be truly missed. We love you Heather, you will be in our thoughts and hearts forever.

Hi Ryann, I have wondered what you have been up to lately. It looks like you are really happy, I am glad that you have found that. Your girls look exactly like you! Congrats on the engagement. Things with us are going good as well, thanks for asking. Erich mentioned you the other day, said the two of you may have been doing a split closing or something and you had talked to his assistant. Anyway it got me thinking about you. Funny how you mention someone from the past and they show up! Good to hear from you.
