Prayers for Dad

I'm sure all of you heard that Dad has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. They think that is in the early stages which is good. He goes in for surgery Wednesday. Dad has always been blessed with good health. In fact this is his first surgery ever which is pretty amazing for being 75 years old. Everyone remember to keep dad in your prayers.

We love you dad. Good luck.

Julie's Engaged

In case you haven't heard Julie got engaged to Nathan Haws on Halloween night. We are so excited for her and also to have Nathan in the family. They are planning on March so be there to support Julie. We have been waiting for this day forever!

Peanut Butter and Julie

While I was in Arizona Julie came over to make organic peanut butter cookies for Nathan. She got the kids really involved. I'm too much of a germ freak to let the kids REALLY help but Julie had them doing everything.

Here she is about to sprinkle Austin with sugar.
He did NOT appreciate it.
Julie looks like shes making out with Austin but she's just trying to get the sugar off his face.

He might hold a grudge forever...

Manchester, England

Sandra's Funeral

Brent spoke about all of Sandra's qualities and read the following verse which really struck me:

Moroni 7:45
And charity suffereth long, and is kind, and envieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

This verse describes Sandra so well. How many of us could say that? Sandra taught us quietly how to be Christlike.

We will miss...












a loving...



















wife...
daughter...




















































sister...







aunt...

...and mother.

Nicholas Sapore College/Mission Fund

Thank you to all of our friends and family who have been so supportive during this time while we are mourning the loss of Sandra. Sandra left behind her 12 year old son Nicholas. Many of you have asked if you could contribute to a fund for Nick in lieu of flowers. We have set up the Nicholas Sapore College/Mission Fund for him at Wells Fargo. If you have an account with Wells Fargo you can contribute to Nick by going online to http://www.wellsfargo.com/ , log in to your account, click on the "Transfers" tab and then the "To Another Customer" tab. The savings account # in his name is 9015530927. If you are not a Wells Fargo Customer then your next option is to go into a local Wells Fargo branch and make a donation using the same account # above.
