Memorial Service

The memorial service for Paige will be held next Saturday the 17th at 1pm at Fairwood Bible Chapel in Dublin, NH. There will be childcare provided, and we are hoping to have a child-friendly service.

In lieu of flowers, we will be selecting a specific Samaritan's Purse charity to have donations made in Paige's name. (I'll let you know once we have settled on one.) I am going to wear my cowboy boots to the service, and a pretty dress (when Paige saw me in it a few weeks ago, she said, "Mama, you're pretty!") and I hope people will wear their favorite clothes, instead of dark serious ones.

We're doing ok for now, and we really appreciate the outpouring of love and support that have come our way.

I will wear my favorite clothes which are pink...and I'm sure Paige will appreciate it! I've been thinking of all of you over the past few days. Paige and your family has brought so much into my life and I feel blessed to be a part of your lives. I continue to pray for you and will be looking forward to celebrating Miss Paigey's life on Saturday!
All my love, support and prayers,
Sarah

I wish we could be there to wear our favorite clothes, celebrate Paige's joy & hold each of you mourning her for just a moment. We will settle for loving you from afar instead.

I wouldn't miss wearing my favorite pink/purple clothes to honor Paige. Meghan has mandatory rehersal for the Nutcracker but she
and her dancing friends will all wear pink that day during rehearsal. Much love and prayers.

(Just wondering, will there be a memorial web site set up for Paige? Those are wonderful!

Kerri & family,

You have all been so remarkable how you have handled the past few months. It has been a pleasure getting to know you all and to learn from you as great role models. Paige was as lucky to have you as you were to have her.

When I was explaining to Benjamin why Paige wasn't here on Sunday he asked me "if she's in heaven does that mean she's not sick anymore?" I said yes, and he said that was a "good thing to not be feeling yucky anymore".

we wish we could be there on Saturday, but have out of staters for the weekend. Our prayers are with the family. We were honored to meet little Paige; we loved her fierce independence. She is a little fiesty muffin, probably telling God how to rearrange his furniture up there. Blessings on you, Kerri and the family.
All our love, the prayer team
