On the 13th of August a very special little baby was born, Rebecca Mayfield. She has the most beautiful blue eyes that you could ever imagine. And also the most beautiful blonde curly hair. She is our "B." Each and every neice and nephew are special in their own way and this is true of Rebecca.


I can't believe that she is already 16!!!! We are all very proud of the young lady that she has become. What an excellent student she is too. Have fun this year B in your Sophmore year at Sacred Heart and we love your new car!!!!!!!!!!!! You will always be so special and we have so many fond memories of great times together. Today was another special day for all of us. We love you so much.

The Loss of a dear friend.

On July 3 a dear, dear friend of ours, Chips Cronen returned to Heaven. He will be missed. We pray and ask for prayers for his wife Barbra and sons.
I came across this scripture that seems to be appropriate for Chips, it reads from Ephesians 6: 16-18
"At all times carry faith as a shield; for with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the evil one. And accepting salvation as a helmet, and the word of God as the sword which the Spirit gives you. Do all this in prayer, asking for God's help. Pray on every occassion, as the Spirit leads. For this reason keep alert and never give up; pray always for God's people."

This is just one thought that gives "light" to the life of Chips Cronen. He was truly a prayer warrior. I've counted on his prayers many times and will continue to do so..
