RIP Great Grandma Wills 1926-2008


I am sad to write that Collin's Great Grandma Wills passed away, yesterday. If you recall, she was able to meet our precious boy in Ohio, this past Christmas.

Collin and his mommy and daddy made it safely home to Ohio early this morning, they drove overnight. Thankfully, they had a few hours advance notice that Grandma's end was coming and Matt was able to say "goodbye" to the beloved grandma who had helped raise him.

Other than a few diaper explosions (and a dearth of rest-stops with gas stations), the trip went well. I will share as I get more information; please keep our little family (and their large extended family) in your prayers!


It was a blessing that Baby Collin was in Ohio at Christmas to meet the relatives on his dad's side. Great Grandma was concerned that Collin would be afraid of her because of all her tubes, but he was really intrigued by her. It was a happy day!

Your family will be in my prayers. I'm so sorry for your loss but how awesome that those 2 got to meet before she passed.

Thank you, Tiffany! I hope all is well with your family.

The "calling period" will be on Monday, with the Funeral Mass on Tuesday. Thank you all who have sent private condolences! Erin and Matt appreciate your caring concern.

Thought I'd let you all know that Erin and Matt and Big Boy Collin are on their way home right now! Collin had so much fun in Ohio, I am sure you will hear many stories and see alot of pictures soon.

God bless our little family!!!
