Remembering.....

Two years later, on a day that was once an “ordinary day” but now forever “different” and “changed”…..our hearts continue to be stirring with a sense of loss….a sense of sadness….but, also a sense of gratitude for the Life of Chelsey, the joy she brought all us and the love she so generously gave. So, still… Chelsey’s memory remains a blessed presence within all of us. She taught us how to love, laugh, cry, serve and fully participate in life…….


The Top Ten Things My Sister Taught Me
10. Make sure you always have a roll of quarters stashed in your car. You never know when life will place you on a toll road.

9. Be loud, have fun, laugh uncontrollably, and dress boldly with big sunglasses.

8. Be generous...to family, friends, and even strangers on the street. It comes back to you 10 fold.

7. Pray...wherever you are…inside your car, outside a church, on a park bench in the wind.......

6. Life is not fair, but it is a gift.

5. Forgive EVERYONE and EVERYTHING. No matter what!

4. Life changes in the blink of an eye. But…..God does not blink.

3. Make every moment count....it does not matter how long you are on this earth, it is what you do with the time you are here.

2. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.

1. Nothing ever replaces or changes the love between two sisters…not absence, not loss, not distance, not time....nothing......
