Rest in Peace

While we were in Illinois I had the pleasure of working at the elementary school that the boys attended. I worked in the front office and forged some really good friendships. I am sad to say that today I learned that one of the reading specialist, a cancer survivor and former nun, lost her husband over the Christmas break. When he would call the school and his name would flash on the caller ID we would race to get to the phone first...he was always a joy, always brought a smile when the day was hard, and always brightened the day when it was gloomy. Chris and Jim had been married for 18 years and when she would speak about him it was as if she was a young teenage girl swooning over her new boyfriend. My heart goes out to her and her family. May god hold them in his arms and comfort them through this hard time.
