REHEARSAL DAY

Thursday, Rehearsal day and Ron and I are already

here at the Best Western in Plaquemine.

Time to talk about this wonderful family who my

son will soon call his.

What wonderful people this whole family is!

Katie is so wonderful and it is because

of the great parents she has and if she

and Roddie are anything like these parents

their children will be so blessed.

However, just like our own family,

the extended family is so important to all of them

Just like tonight, Katie's Aunt Roz and Uncle Roger

so graciously offered their home for us to have this

rehearsal supper. They not only offered but 

almost insisted, which made it easier for Ron

and I to accept the offer.

Katie is so close to all her aunts, uncles, cousins

just as Roddie is and all those prayers

I have said since this boy was born-

you know the ones that say,

PLEASE HAVE MY SON

FIND SOMEONE TO LOVE THAT HAS A GOOD

FAMILY WHO WILL ACCEPT HIM AS THEIR OWN...

well, those are all answered.

Kathy, Frank, Frankie,

and the rest of the clan,

thanks for everything,

love all of you!!!
