Happy Birthday to our Sweet Alyssa


It is hard to believe our daughter Alyssa would be 10 years old today. I would have a daughter in double digits!! Wow!! We are getting old! We are so grateful she blessed our lives as long as she did and was a great strength and joy to have in our family! She was always happy and she loved Elmo and Ernie. When her blood disorder started she just held her little arm out because she new what to do it and she did it without flinching and she was a fighter! She brought us so much Joy in our life and we miss her so much. When she died we were told that great blessings would come as long as we were faithful. I am going to share a few that I can think of that are some of the greatest blessings!

1. Chris doesn't have to work Sunday's and is able to go to church with us.

2. HANNAH! She is our Joy and the one who keeps us going daily and helps me be a better mom and person.

3. Also the tender mercy's we get from Heavenly Father and Alyssa that are such a comfort to me and her dad.

4. To also know she is saved and that she is one of his choicest daughters and we will be with her again one day!

We sure love and and look forward to that reunion. We sure love you and grateful to be your parents and your sister.

Love you,

Mom,Dad and Hannah
