11/30 The children were more overwhelmed that the gifts came from total strangers than the gifts themselves.

Dear Ladies, We were so surprised at you showed up at my brother's door, bearing gifts for his children. The children were more overwhelmed that the gifts came from total strangers than the gifts themselves. They are very thankful and use the blankets every night. As December 1 approaches, they are looking forward to the windows of chocolate to open every day in their new home in a new city and state. We are blessed to have this silver lining to the tragedy of Steve's death and we know that we will grow together as a family each and every day with the help of family, friends and strangers or the friends that we just haven't gotten to know yet. Thank you ladies for all that you do. 
Fondly,

Christine
