In memory of and Thank you…..

So, last Saturday at 230am we received a call from the hospital  that James’s grandfather had passed it didn’t seem real, until we arrived at the hospital. I was a lost of words….I didn’t know what to say to James– his grandfather was basically his father, he had raised James since he was just a few months old, so to James and everyone else– Norman was James’s father.  Grandpa was a hard working man and touched so many people around him. I myself had actually met James’s grandpa before I even new James. He was a custodian for Newark City Schools and actually worked at the school I went to in elementary. I remembered all the kids liked Mr. Walters we always wanted to be his helper at school. Never did I know at  that time I was going to marry his grandson in the future. So, that morning we heard the news  about grandpa  had a wedding later that day and another wedding that sunday and in the mix of everything we were now planning a funeral. We set the funeral to be done on Wed. which was a lot sooner than we wanted but with all of the families schedules this worked out best for everyone. It was a beautiful service and very emotional for everyone, but grandpa was finally laid to rest that afternoon. We will miss you so much, thank you for being a shoulder to lean on when we needed one and making us laugh when we needed to laugh and we will miss that smile you gave us to let us know that everything was going to be all right. We know that one day we will join you and that you are now spoiling our baby boy Isaac.

With that being said we want to Thank everyone for all the emails,cards and flower arrangements sent to us on behalf of our grandfather passing, it really means a lot to us to know how much people care about us and our family. This past week has been rough for us and to know that so many people care means so much to us, our son Isaiah went over to our studio and picked up the mail for us last week and brought back several cards, its kind of funny because he said “geesh there must be a lot of bills this week” …… which is what we always say when there is a lot of mail….but when he handed me the mail they were actually cards from clients and friends of ours sending their condolences. Wow, we were really shocked and emotional all at the same time…..so from our family to yours thank you from the bottom of our hearts we are grateful knowing that so many people care. Again, Thank You everyone for baring with us this past week. This week we will be working hard to catch up on all the calls, emails and sessions.
