I saw this on the local news. It is about our friend and farmgirl sister Brandy Ward. Please read.

It is sweet and very sad.

I can hardly breathe through the tears, Mary Beth. Thank you for sharing this with us. There are just no words.

May God love, bless, comfort and heal Tim, and provide for his every need in miraculous ways. And may God love and bless their family, their friends and the entire community of Oso.

Hugs -

That is very sad but touching. Life can change in an instant. People who were always there for us can be gone just like that. I guess all you can do is trust in God and hang your hat on the wind.

I have often wondered about our Farmgirl sister and her family. I have prayed and will continue to pray for her family and those effected by the slide. I can not imagine ...

Wasn't that a teary story. The daughter and father live not too far from us.
We saw them at the memorial. So sad. MB

Thanks for sharing. How sad and devastating. Prayers for the family. Memories are precious now. It should remind us all that we never know what lies ahead and to be thankful for life's blessings.

Be Blessed and Be a Blessing,

So sad. Right after the tragedy, a picture was posted of Brandy holding a Farmgirl sign. I cried. I knew what I had to do. I went straight to my kitchen and took my Farmgirl sign off the wall that looked like hers and mailed it to her daughter, Tiffany. I hope it was well received.

I am sure Tiffany and family loved it. A nice tribute to her Mom and a kind gesture on your part. Thank you. MB

My DH said he would make me another one. He made that one from 120 year old barn wood that came off my family's original homestead in Wabash, IN.

MaryBeth, thank you for posting the link. I had no idea this had happened. Very sad.
