I have had several requests for more info on our Family Service....I'm thinking about that. I know that we are transparent on here...but I need to figure out how much to say without infringing on the privacy of our grief.

Thank you so much for all your prayers, concerns, gifts, precious words and support as we race through the path we call "life". ::snort::

You have certainly had a full week. WHEW. I hope you're able to still get some more rest and that you'll completely recover very quickly.

Emily said...

Oh my goodness - you all have been busy!!! You are a blessed woman De'etta and a great example of a Godly wife and mother! Hugs!

Michelle said...

De'Etta, I'm tired just reading your post.

Praying that you get some much needed rest & relaxation this week.

Diann said...

Okay, you are exhausting me! I am so glad your family was all there this week and, despite the time of grieving, you got to enjoy each other.

Debbie said...

De'Etta, I am so glad that the older girls were home this week. It sounds like you had a great time, albeit a sad one.

Get some rest now!

Trish said...

I'm amazed by you De'Etta, as always. I agree with the rest of the ladies ~ it wears me out just reading your blog! And I reiterate ~ get some rest. The rest of us need a little time to catch up with you! LOL ;)

Love ya, girl!

I've RESTED more this week and the past few weeks than I have for YEARS. Honest. I am still taking naps. I need them and I hate to admit I need them - but I do. ::snort::

Renee said...

DeEtta,
I'm so glad the girls were home this week; God's timing is perfect. To have your entire family together during this difficult time was such a blessing. It sounds like this has been difficult physically as well (I never had that occur) so continue to rest.

De'Etta - I can't imagine why you all are so tired out. Sounds like kind of a slow week. :)

Thanks for taking the time to update us on your family but we care more that you get enough rest. Take a good, long nap on us!

Sis:

I love you friends on your blog. I don't even have to say much about your need to rest as they have done it for me. :)

Gotta love the way the Lord puts things together and the entire family was there this past week.

love & Prayers continue\ for you all,

Try to get some rest this week. I know it's hard but you'll feel better if you do this for yourself. I'm praying for you.
