Hi
This is my first time posting a comment on Stacey’s website, so here goes… I just read the post about Eva’s loss. I only met her once, but I can understand the pain she must be going through right now. I have lost an Aunt and Uncle in relatively similar conditions, (although they died before…

Condolences to Eva
Hi Stacey. I’m really sorry about Eva’s nieces and sister-in-law. That is really sad. My condolences to her. Life is precious; I hope she is well. Congrats on the coaching job. Sounds like fun. When I was young I played little league soccer for a little bit. I was really bad 🙂

A job at KidzLoveSoccer!
After a humbling job hunt, I have found work as a full-time coach teaching soccer. I taught my first class yesterday with Coach Roberto and Coach Avis.

How We Will Be Remembered
Aunt Marion, what a nice note. Yes, we had a great time at the Transplant Games together! I received the photos, thank you! They are very special. One of my hobbies is reading inspirational books. A common theme is…on your deathbed, how would you like to be remembered? What kind of person are you? Lately,…

A Gift of Life
Hi Stacey, We went camping this past weekend–you know how we rough it.’We had a campsite right on the river and saw many pods of dolphin. We also saw some manatee. The river was a wonderful 72 degrees. It was a fun time with Sherry and her family. The girls got a National Parks Monopoly…
