The lighting of a Memorial Candle not only provides a gesture of sympathy and support to the immediate family during their time of need but also provides the gift of extending the Book of Memories for future generations.

It's a small world....

I was getting a manicure in a salon here in Keizer, OR.  It was cold out and the girls having pedicures were sharing "how cold it  was".  I heard someone say, "You don't know cold, until you've lived in the San Luis Valley".  My ears perked up.  I'm from the San Luis Valley.  I had to know who it was.  Lo and behold, Kathy being from La Jara and I became fast-friends (I'm from San Luis and Alamosa).  We even had friends in common from the valley!  How incredibly small the world is that we should meet in Oregon! 

My dear friend, I miss you already.  God intended for us to meet and know one another, and I'm grateful for the time we had.   I'll think of you often this summer while I paddle the river.  Until we meet again.  Won't that be a great gift?
