I do love you and yours and have always known that God did such a beautiful thing in creating your family tree. The blessings have been mine!<br /><br />The acorns look as perfect in your house as I had imagined, and I am so glad you still use the manzanita branch. As to the carolers on the mantle, my heart was flooded with emotion to that<br />memory, as well as your wedding, as though just such a short time ago. <br /><br />Alas, the past years speak sweetly, but truthful now of our ages. Even so, God is so loving in His infinite wisdom and blessings...to know the future plans for all of His children and allow us to experience some of the most wonderful things in life, even though there are those deep valleys that He has to walk us through as well. <br /><br />Thank you, sweet girl, for taking me back in time. The creative hands of both you and Joy are lovely and will continue to comfort your dad and others in numerous ways in the time to come. Please express my love to Pop. Indeed, Ella is pleased.JKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466957025274689346.post-21819531277902785232009-11-05T15:10:33.636-06:002009-11-05T15:10:33.636-06:00What a perfect match, Tonja.

Like you said, you loved the tree on its own but had you not found the tree, where would the acorns hang their pretty selves?Paula Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13948349907036852384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466957025274689346.post-73080137259586768612009-11-05T00:05:47.081-06:002009-11-05T00:05:47.081-06:00What a beautifully written tribute to a special la...What a beautifully written tribute to a special lady!

She suggested they give us Lenox Holiday dishes and matching punch bowl and cups etc... Since we were newlyweds, we loved collecting the beautiful Christmas dishes she sent our way. Every Christmas, we still think of JK!! Thanks for sharing! And, I love your acorn and tree...that would be my fall decorations every year instead of Christmas! :-)ilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02415805444615764734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466957025274689346.post-67815295663905053812009-11-04T21:50:56.646-06:002009-11-04T21:50:56.646-06:00They are BEAUTIFUL!!
