Relay for Life!

When you lose someone you love the feeling of helplessness has a way of trying to consume your every pore...the 'what ifs' seem to take over...that's if you let it!! I want to invite you to remember Abbey with me, let's remember her as a little girl that left to soon, but not before leaving her mark on this world. Below is an excerpt from our team page for this year's Relay for life. Relay is an event that the American Cancer Society puts on to help raise money for Cancer Research, it also brings awareness to those that are suffering today and it helps to remember those that have lost their battle!

Team ALL IN (Abbey's Legacy wilL lIve oN) would like to be apart of this year's Relay for Life to remember a very special little girl. Abbey Mae was only on this earth for 2 years 10 months but she touched the hearts of many. She did not have cancer but her death left us wanting to bring meaning to her life. It has been though service projects that we have been able to keep her memory alive. Relay for Life is a perfect fit...in fact this years theme...celebrate, remember, fight back, says exactly what we want to do. Please join us in remembering Abbey!!

If you would like to donate to our team, over on the right hand side of the blog is our link. If you want to join our team....yeah!! You can also do that by following the link!! Relay is a very powerful experience, one that you won't soon forget!! Get involved, you won't regret it!!

Hi Amy -

First of all, Happy Birthday to Jake! It hardly seems possible that he is 10 years old! You are a great mom and I am very proud of you!

Also, about the luminary for my mom - Nola J. Hannink lived her life of 75 years for the Lord! She was born on January 4, 1932 and lived on this earth until June 8, 2007. I would be deeply honored for you to remember her!
