Songs, Quotes, and Poems from Our Friends


Life in Fifteen Minutes
A message sent from a close friend. Our friends were pregnant at the same time we were. Unfortunately, they suffered a miscarriage and lost their precious child. We are so sorry for their loss.


Precious Child
This song was sent to me by my best friend, Wally. That would be Uncle Wally to Justin. :) He said that this song reminded him of me and Justin. Wally is a wonderful friend. I don't know what I'd do without him. I wish Justin would have had a chance to meet him.
