Brock's mom passed away today. She has been fighting secondary breast cancer for the last 8 or 9 months. We came down to Provo to be with his dad and sisters, and everyone is doing well. The funeral is Thursday. The viewing starts at 9:30 and the funeral will follow that. We are so glad that she is finally out of pain and we will miss her so much. Annie doesn't understand very much, but she did say that she didn't want Yia Yia to die because that makes her really sad. Thanks to those who covered for us this weekend so we could come down.

Oh Chanell and Brock, I am so sorry! I was wondering where you were and am sorry to hear that this is the reason why you are out of town. Great tribute and I love the pics of Brock and his mom, he'll cherish that post I am sure. Call me when you get back, I would love to help out with anything I can.
Brock, you look just like Dave! We are so sorry to hear about your mother's passing. Eric has many great memories of her from his youth. I thoroughly enjoyed mingling with the family in college. Your mother is such an amazing woman with an ability to make anyone feel loved and welcomed. The first time I saw her and Eric together, I knew she was more than just the mother of a friend. She's amazing! Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
