Tripp's room!

We've been working on getting everything ready for the Trippster! I'm going to attempt to post some pictures from my phone... We'll see if it works!
It's been so much fun going through all the cool stuff we got at the showers and getting everything set up!!

ANOTHER DEATH.....

Just wanted to let everyone know Rick's mother-in-law, Jan Eshbaugh, passed away Sunday, July 18th at Rick's home.

Jan had been diagnosed with kidney cancer on May 13th. Kathy and Rick were taking care of her at their home but the cancer was extremely aggressive and spread too rapidly for treatment.

There is only going to be a simple graveside service on Wednesday at 1pm at Hillgrove Cemetary in Miamisburg. Ray and I are planning to attend and I think Pete is going to try to go also.

Jan was a very sweet lady who always made me feel welcome. I really enjoyed knowing her. Pete and I had a chance to visit with her a couple of times recently and she had so much grace and dignity during her final weeks. She said when she was first diagnosed that she did not want anyone to cry for her but to laugh with her. . . .she wanted to enjoy her time left. No one could've imagined that time would be so short.

Please keep Kathy, Rick, Howard and all of Jan's family in your thoughts and prayers.
