In Loving Memory...

of Maggie May Williams. This has obviously been a difficult evening for many whose hearts have been stolen by this beautiful little girl. To Quote her own site: "She was surrounded by family, just like the day she was born, and she went very peacefully. A traditional memorial service for adults only is being planned, as well as a special children's service."

At 5:20 this evening a very strong need to find a "white rose" came over me. I knew what it was for, just not when. Then, an hour later, we received a phone call telling us of the loss of Maggie at the very same time I felt this need. I went and held Rebekah and cried and then came back here to share with you. Out of respect for Maggie's family, all I could post was this beautiful rose until her family chose to make a public announcement which they have now done. This blog is about sharing our joys and our sorrows. This has been one of the most sorrowful days.

The beautiful white rose that has touched so many of us in so many ways is by and used with permission from Australian photographer Lisa Hocking Please see her blog and thank her for its use.
