Baylor IT IS!

This will be where Chase will be dining at Brooks Hall.  Kinda Harry Potter style every Sunday.

Chase will be starting fall 2012.

Chase's College Choices

Chase was accepted into each college he applied to.  It was a hard decision between St. Louis University and Baylor, but Baylor wooed him with the Invitation to Excellence.

Dear Baby Joey's mother,

I am so sorry that you have experienced the death of your son. As a grieving mother myself, I can understand your pain. I can also understand the anger you must feel at this time, you say because of the images you received of your son that were taken after his death without your permission. I have photographs of my son, Maddux, before his death, and also after his death. I cherish each and every one of them. I hope that one day you will understand why a nurse went out of her way, to help you with your grieving. I also pray that one day you will forgive yourself for not wanting the images that were sent to you of him. You may not realize it now, but one day, when it is too late, you might just really want these images. But by then the damage will have been done, to the reputation of the hospital that cared for your son, to the nurse and her coworkers that cared for you and your son, and to non profit organizations that assist parents and family's in their darkest hours after the death of a child.

Please don't let your anger guide you during this time.

In Hope and Healing,

Cheryl

17 Years Ago...

I remember the days when Barney was his main Squeeze...

This handsome, kind, gentle and smart boy was born. I know that Mike and I talk to each other all the time about Chase, and how good of a boy he is...well, this boy is almost a man! Chase, we love you dearly. We could not have asked for a better son than you...

Our new pet...

It was around 8:30pm and I was bringing in the trash cans, (usually something my SON does...)

This thing was SO BIG, I actually saw it moving in the driveway...(remember, it is dark outside, only light is the front porch light and the 2 side garage lights, and we have a black asphalt drive...)

We will call her Pudding...
