Greetings to all!

 

Sunday January 31st marks the 14th anniversary of Rachel's tragic disappearance. To this day we all think of her often and draw comfort in each other's support and prayers. It is in this light that I invite all of you to join me that afternoon at 2:00 by Rachel's memorial tree in Bolingbrook for a short time of reflection and fellowship. The tree is located at the south end of Wipfler Park and is just east of the intersection at Pinecrest & Rockhurst in Bolingbrook.

 

This will not be a big service and will have no planned program; just a time of remembering, reflecting, with a group prayer or something along those lines. I'm sure it will be cold and none of us will want to stay outside too long. After this short time I invite anyone to come to the Family Square Restaurant in Bolingbrook for a light lunch or just coffee. This is a restaurant the Rachel and I went to many times on Sunday afternoon when I would bring her back to her Mom's after a weekend together. (Rachel was particularly fond of the chicken fingers).

 

There is no need to respond to this unless you will be going to the restaurant as I would like to give them an idea of how many will be coming.

 

 I cannot begin to express my gratitude to each and everyone of you for your support and prayers during the past fourteen years. I don't think I would have been able to sustain what little sanity I have without you!!! May God bless us all and I look forward to seeing all of you on the 31st.
