Audrey's Memorial Service-Gratitude and Thanksgiving

This past Saturday, December 6th at 10am we were able to collectively gather with family, church family, friends and the community to remember and celebrate Audrey's life here on Earth. Over the week leading up to Audrey's service, we were thankful the Lord laid specific scripture on our hearts to deliver His truth to many. The Living Word is what sustains us and keeps us focused on what is true and good. His promises to come.

We cannot express in words how deeply loved and cared for our family felt. We are incredibly grateful for all of the prayers we have been covered in and all of the helping hands which helped reflect Audrey's life in all of the details at her service. Thank you to our family who has always been there to ask what we need and how they can help, for loving Audrey so well. Our church family who just moves without needing to be asked, we see the Spirit at work and the fruit. For the Northmor staff and their care and love; Audrey always loved school. Andrew's employer, Avita Health System, responded so lovingly and generously as well, especially through generous time off. Andrew was able to be with Audrey in her last months and focus on her care.

Audrey is now enjoying her eternal reward and it is nothing she could earn, but because of what Christ Jesus did on the cross.

Lastly, thank you for the gift cards, monetary donations, flowers, food, gifts, books, wind chimes, plants, and ornaments. All of your generosity is appreciated and we are thankful. Our prayer is that we can continue to walk in Spirit and Truth. Walking in obedience and sharing the life changing love of Jesus.

We Walk By Faith

Audrey is continuing to hold on with the strength that is left. She is tired, weak and sleeps most of the time. We can continue to praise God she has no pain. Audrey has her routine, though most of it consists of sleeping. She enjoys a little chocolate milk, a yogurt smoothie, some applesauce and maybe some small bites of food here and there. With that said, eating and drinking is becoming more difficult, but Audrey manages with some assistance and help. Benjamin, Hannah and Emma continue to do well with this season we are in. They display loving hearts, asking if Audrey needs anything, praying for her and just sitting near her. We are so grateful for the tenderness they show Audrey and the peace they have knowing Audrey will likely be with Jesus soon. 2 Corinthians 5:1- 10 For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself an...

Eternal Perspective

We have officially returned from Michigan and we were incredibly thankful for this time together as a family. Overall Audrey had a good time. Audrey has dealt with some bleeding over the last few weeks around the tumor site. We have added some medical intervention, which seems to help. She is also dealing with some difficulty sleeping. Hospice care will now make weekly visits with the advancement of the tumor. Audrey's overall energy has decreased quite significantly over the last week. She still enjoys order and her schedule :) Audrey is still pain free, so we can rejoice in that. She is eating and drinking normally, another praise. We are fixing are minds and hearts on Christ Jesus, remembering this is all very temporary. Death is something we will all experience and for those who know and love Jesus as the personal savior will experience the ultimate peace in eternity with Him. It is important to us as followers of Christ that we highlight this truth because we have...

He is With You

About a month has passed since our last update-Audrey continues to do well despite daily challenges. The cancer is continuing to spread, unfortunately this is something we can see visually. The tumor is now covering nearly her entire left eye and continues to grow outward. Audrey has not complained to this day. Her strength is inspiring to say the least. Audrey will have another nasal endoscopy this upcoming Tuesday. We are thankful this will likely relieve her sinuses. We are still under the impression nothing can be done externally. Palliative care has visited to simply put eyes on Audrey. We have been incredibly thankful she continues to have no pain. We have even visited with a social worker who has helped make a meaningful craft to build memories. Audrey continues to play outside, make beautiful drawings, go on walks, rest with Coco, read books on the couch, play Zelda and Mario Cart with her sisters and the list goes on. SO thankful for that. We have decided to pursue ...
