But it sounds like it went great. <BR/><BR/>Say a prayer for the Mays family, if you think of them. Allen Mays was an elder in our church, and he and his 12 yr old son were killed in a car accident on Sunday. His wife Rachel taught my 2 yr old's Sunday School class all year last year, and their daughter Tabby is in 5th grade, like my Anna (I taught their class a couple years ago). The funeral was today, and it really was very uplifting (though heart-wrenching). Allen (the Dad) and Madison (the son) both really loved the Lord. In fact, Madison just made a profession of faith 3 weeks ago, after a church camp. We don't grieve as those without hope, but I can't imagine the pain that Rachel and little Tabby are going through right now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32529371.post-17272852088636038732007-07-12T16:38:00.000-06:002007-07-12T16:38:00.000-06:00Adrienne,I have been reading your blog for awhile....Adrienne,<BR/><BR/>I have been reading your blog for awhile.

You are an amazing woman, definitely making your Heavenly Father proud of his daughter, and 1 little Noah very proud of his mommy.<BR/><BR/>Your strength, courage, and love for God and family is magnetic. Your sharing the life and blessing of your son draws strangers like myself in to be inspired by your family and the life and spirit of Noah. <BR/><BR/>Thank You. <BR/><BR/>I have read most of your entries and have smiled and cried while looking at the pictures you've posted. How truly blessed are those that are lucky enough to know you in person and be your friend.<BR/><BR/>I humbly ask if you would recap the story of Noah. I dont understand what caused him to become ill?...or what symptoms lead him to become hospitalized in the begining? Did the doctors never find out why? <BR/><BR/>I've read many of your posts but I dont know where it starts... except with the birth of such a special baby boy to a very special family.<BR/><BR/>I will keep checking back. Know that you have friends in the world that you dont even realize. <BR/><BR/>Many Hugs and Prayers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32529371.post-29783205642167102212007-07-12T09:55:00.000-06:002007-07-12T09:55:00.000-06:00Adrienne, You have the most wonderful way with wor...Adrienne, <BR/>You have the most wonderful way with words.
