Hey Casey – thanks for sharing the news. I’d like to get on your calendar for brunch with Alfonso and Julie Boyden – one of these next Sundays. How about 2/14 or 2/28? On the 21st we’re giving blood, so I’ll likely be out of it. Or early March works too. Alfonso has a place in Nordeast he wants us to try – so pick the date and I’ll organize the kids! Janna

Casey; I tried to post here last week, but my computer dropped the connection. I don’t know if you remember me, I used to work with your Dad. I just wanted to send my heartfelt sympathy to the family, and especially Jill, and Ben. I’ve been through this myself, not full term, and I can only imagine how hard it is to find yourself in the middle of that. My prayers are with them. I’d also like to take the opportunity to say a little to you. I’ve watched you through these many years, and have marveled at your strength, faith, and attitude. You have been quite a hero to me, and I’m hoping your example will help Jill and Ben to keep moving forward. Take care of yourself, and tell your Dad to keep me posted.

Hey Casey – I’m so sorry for your family’s loss of Owen. That is so sad and so unfair. We are glad the scans were as good as could be expected, though. You are amazing. We are heading down to Houston ourselves in a couple weeks.

I hope we can get that dinner we talked about scheduled … it’s harder and harder for Todd to get out these days, but I think he’d want to try to make it work in order to see you. He’s got some major “battle fatigue” going on and I think talking to you would help! Take care.

Dear Casey –

So, so happy to hear that the chemo treatments are doing the job…hang in there! I can only imagine the pain from the loss of Baby Owen – wonderful name. I’m sure he’s among other family members watching over us all. Jill, Ben, your Mom and Dad, and you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Love you – Aunt Lucy

My deepest sympathies to you, your sister & brother-in-law and your whole family. Owen was too good for all of us. xoxo L

Casey,
I am so sorry to hear about Owen. It pains me to even imagine something happening to my children, I cannot even begin to comprehend how it feels to lose one. We think of you often and I am glad that the chemo appears to be having some success. Take care and I hope the rest of your year begins to look up. Miss you.
