And in September 2009 Mommy was diagnosed with a terminal disease (a genetic form of ALS) that took her to Heaven in July, 2011, leaving Daddy and two young girls to make it on their own.

A Great Evening and a Rough Morning

As you might expect, this whole situation is going to have its ups and its downs.

Last night we had an absolutely wonderful visit from the founders and many of the board members of Kory's Foundation www.korysfoundation.org (some who came a very long distance to meet us all) who where extremely gracious with some much needed support. Look for more about Kory's Foundation in the near future. We were so overwhelmed with gratitude that we didn't even know what to say to them.

Then this morning came along and the inevitable has started to happen and Rebekah has begun to loose her hair. As mommy said, it was very difficult to not be shocked while right in front of you Rebekah had a fist full of her hair in hand. We knew it was coming and we tried to plan for it - but how can you really plan for things like this?

Please keep the prayers and comments coming. The private emails are encouraging to us and the public comments on this site are encouraging to hundreds if not thousands of others. We love them all! Thank you.

So encouraged to hear you are hooked up with Korry's Foundation. The heartache over the lost hair will heal in time. One of Betty's grand-daughters (my niece) had chemo at a young age (not as young as Rebekah) and lost her hair. She is now a beautiful young woman with gorgeous hair. So be encouraged that 'this to shall pass'. Our love and prayers are with you, Jo
