First let me thank everyone who continues to check in here, I know that most have moved on, but some still check to see what is happening.
Ryan, Megan and myself went to Maine and enjoyed some time with family there. It was great, and a way to learn how to be a family of three. We continue to learn each day just how much we can miss Debbie, but also how much she has taught us about living. We are doing o.k. God continues to hold us in His arms.
In October we will be having a tree dedication, and I am working on a memorial bench. We are planning on doing this on the campus of Central Methodist University on home coming weekend. It also just so happens to be our 16th wedding anniversary weekend. This will be October 11th. The plans are still in the process, so you may need to keep an eye out for more information to come.
Now for those who did not know, the phone book is wrong. Many of you tried sending me mail there. For many reasons I did not want to post my address on line during Debbie's illness, we just had too many narcotics etc around, and I did not want everyone in the world to know when the house would be empty etc. So, now that we are home more, my address is 1450 N. Boothe Lane, Columbia, Missouri. 65202. I really am sorry for the difficulties some had in trying to send us mail on Waterfront, and I really feel sorry for the person living there! :)
Thank you all again!

You continue to be in my prayers. I miss Deb too! I know that God's plans for us are too many times unclear, but I have to have faith that there is a plan. I know that you have that faith too. It is what will sustain you as you settle in to being a family of three. But, don't forget you are part of the much bigger family of God. We will never leave you alone!

Glad to hear from you again, and it's good to know that you, Ryan and Megan are OK, and that you had a nice get-away. We miss Dr. Deb - she was very special - and we will keep you in our prayers. Morrene and family
We continue to think about you and your family each day. Knowing Deb was such a blessing, and we will miss her forever!

I continue to check on the status of your family everyday and just seeing your words once again bring the sting of tears to my eyes. She touched so many people in so many ways. I think of your children and you daily. God Bless You.
Thank goodness some news of you and the children. We are all concerned with your well being. Don't think for a minute that your all alone. I think of Debbie daily. In fact I planted my own tree in her honor. I am so glad you will have a dedication in October. That will be so nice. It will be something for so many to see in her memory for years and years to come. Thank you for your update and keep us posted.

Thinking of you often Andy. I am so glad to hear you and the kids had a visit to Maine, I hope it was a refreshing time for all. Thoughts and prayers, Stephanie
Andy,
Thank you for the update. We have checked the blog regularly for your updates. So glad to hear you and the kids are doing okay. There is not one single day that goes by that we do not think about Deb. With seeing her on such a regular basis with our "fur babies" it is still hard to believe that she is now with God. Please know you and the kids are in our prayers each and every day. Love to you all. Terry and Angie
Hi Andy,
We sang Amazing Grace this morning at church and I will forever think of Deb when I hear it now. I continue to pray for you, Ryan and Megan. I'm so glad you had your trip to Maine.

Andy, I just want you to know that there is not one day that goes by without deb on my mind. After being by her side for eight years how could I not think of her? She is truely the best friend I have ever had. Even when I was at my worst, she was still there for me. I love her so much and miss her to no end.-KAM
Andy,
Just a quick note to let you know that you and your family were in my thoughts and prayers this morning, as you are each day. I know that the Lord gives us comfort each day and power to continue in our daily struggles and in our victories.
Yours in Christ,
Diane Halford
