    Reading your kind words about your family is a breath of fresh air for me.
    Your granddad and grandma have passed down a spiritual legacy to their kids and I can see that you have acquired the same desire of putting other people first in your life. I wish you and your family much success and continued spiritual growth in your lives. I love you guys.

    Lauren I just wanted to say how wonderful it is to have your little girl marry into such a wonderful family. To know she will be loved and will have so many loving, funny and truly good people in her life is a great thing for a father to know.

    Thanks for sharing your heart Baby Awa! My heart was smiling and joyful all week as each family member trickled in. It was so fun just to be together to celebrate Brandon and Liz’s wedding! I’m so proud of you and all of my nieces and nephews and love celebrating your milestones! I love you!

    the joy of grandparents is watching grandbabies as they grow and develop into “characters” – each having their own unique style. The greatest joy is seeing them become part of God’s family and take their place in telling their world about our Wonderful Saviour. But Lauren, you have captured in words the joy we feel in being family and cherishing each moment we have together. Thank you for being a beautiful “”example” for the younger grands. And thanks for using your words to warm our hearts today. Love you, Nam and Papa
