Not Only A Talented Blogger But Has A Heart of Gold!

[Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom]

As I sat at my desk this morning reading over all of the e-mails we have received this week from so many of Sophie's friends, I was reading one from one of our very own, most popular ladies here on DK.  It was at that very moment that someone knocked (very firmly I might ad) on the front door and I about fell off my chair.  The reason for the knock is one that will change me forever.  The Fed Ex man had left a package at our door.  Inside the box was the softest, warmest, most cuddly blanket, covered in photos of our girls!  If I had chosen the photos myself, it would have been the very ones that were there.  It brought back so many beautiful memories for Mike and I as we stood there going, Oh, there is the Santa one, and the one where Wendy taught them to swim, the one with Emma our little dog trainer, the one where Sophie stole Lucy's frisbee, and on and on and on.  I'm guessing I don't have to tell you what happened then.    Anyway, I know that she doesn't do it for the recognition, but I just had to share the blanket with all of you and since many of you will already know when you see it, for those newbies on the site I just want to say to Laurie (and Fudge and Vern and DH too) that you made both of us smile (ok and cry too) today!  This is something that will truly always be treasured by all three of us.  When ever we are feeling sad we can just curl up and relive some of our wonderful memories.  From the bottom of our hearts we say thank you.  Sheri, Mike and Lucy!

What a beautiful and thoughtful gift, one that wraps you in comfort, hugs, and memories. A very special blanket from a very special lady, in memory of a very special girl.

I know, from experience, you will have Laurie's hugs around you for  a long time. Mine is next to me right now. Laurie, you really know how to make us laugh, keep us warm, and we certainly can feel you.

Sheri, this is beautiful.  So happy

the tears are rolling.....in my own imagination this is what a taste of heaven might feel like.....that someone loves and cares about me and what I am going through enough that they would do something such as this.  What a beautiful and wonderful tribute to your dear Sophie & Lucy and what a blessing to you and DH.  Laurie, you have a wonderful gift of creativity sprinkled with lots of love that you freely give away to bless others. A friend in need is a friend indeed.  Bless all of you...and Lucy, Fudge & Vern...your mom rocks!
