In Memory of ..... Gemma Glass 10/25/2008

This is a blog no family should have to write.
Our 20 year old niece Gemma passed this weekend. I believe I have mentioned somewhat about her health in some of my post. I tried to keep private since she is a private person. Since age 18 she has been fighting ovarian cancer. She had went through chemo & surgery to remove here ovary and was doing very well. But unfortunately this April at one of her check ups she was re diagnosed. She was treated with extreme amounts of chemo but the cancer continued to grow.
After looking for all attempts to find treatment or a cure her body gave out. It was sudden & unexpected. She had just join us in celebrating Jacobs birthday. And she looked beautiful..... She had so much color to her face and was smiling ear to ear. It may have something to do with going to see her boyfriend in Alabamba for the week. Love... what a splendid thing. She returned home and quickly went down hill. And this weekend peacefully went in her sleep.
We are heartbroken that god had chose this as her time. But are comforted to know she is no longer in pain & know her father was there to guide her.

No words can express what a great girl she was. She was shy, funny, intelligent, unique, Beautiful (even with no hair) and meant a lot to everyone around her. Jacob may not get to know her personally but he will be told stories of her & her kindness. She has become a guardian angel to watch over Jacob.

Gemma we will always love you & miss you...... And will keep in our thoughts & our hearts.

Her mother & sister have been through some much with the loss of their husband/ father & now her daughter/ sister. I hope They know we are all here for Them...

Busy!

Time...
Right now I have none!
I am either working, packing, playing, cleaning, launry, More packing, going back n fourth with realtor & seller,our buyer or mortgage company with paper work. Its insane!!!

So some our family membrs have done what I like to call the drive by... to see our new house and really like it. I also have heard that a few frinds/ family do not understand why we eed such a BIG house. Its really no that big... 2200 sq feet. I hate tripping over one another and I like having space..... My house now is 1600 sq feet. So really it not much larger just the rooms are bigger. And our house now is 48 years old and this or new home is 5 years old. Also I have a husband who can not fix anything!!! Nor build the simplest thing from a box...Like my desk... I did it! He held the parts. But his family always called people to fix things. My family never had the money to so we did it or paid a family friend. So its understandable why he does not know anything about the tools. Love you honey!

anyway really I do not care what people think. I love the house and we want to expand our famiy some how and its where we wanted to be.
