Hi all, can't figure out how to send an email to everyone...so I did it this way- just letting you know that my dear 81 year old mom has been diagnosed with cancer and we are now facing the beginning of the end. I am 3 classes away from my Photography Certificate at SAIT and will finish up there and then probably put my camera away for awhile to care for my mom. I am not abandoning the club just putting it on hold for awhile. Prayers will help and thank you all! #1546990

Kristin, your mom, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you find some comfort in knowing that others care and understand the sadness that you are going through. It is a blessing that you can be there for her at this time. I cherish the time I had with my Mom. God Bless you. #10862210

I am so sorry Kristin. Having gone through this for most of this year I know how physically, and emotionally demanding these situations are. The decision to put things on hold for a while is the correct path. You will be in my thoughts. I hope that things turn out as well for your family as they have so far for mine. I know that you will be there for your mom which is a very big blessing. #10863172

Those we love remain with us for love itself lives on, and cherished memories never fade because a loved one’s gone. Those we love can never be more that a thought apart. For as long there is a memory, they’ll live on in our hearts. -
Kristin; fill the remaining days recalling with your mom all those memories.
May Our Savior bless you and comfort you all in these stressful times. #10864152
