Hello Lee,

Well, I made it through, just like you said I would. The morning was
very hard for all of us, but we planned a celebration for yesterday,
and that's what it ended up being. We were blessed to be surrounded by
family and close friends who helped us get through her first birthday
without her. My worst part was when my seven-year-old cousin could not
understand why the "birthday" cake was not actually what he thought it
represented but instead was a memorial cake. I had a video put
together and we did her memory box that was given to me by a close
friend and we ended it with everyone dancing to her favorite song. It
was a wonderful evening.

Thank you for you support and encouragement.

Blessings,

Jessie
