Today wasn't as bad as it could have been. I think it really helped that every step I took today someone took with me. The hardest thing today was going to the cemetery to do paper work, see the place where Jess will be buried, and pay for the burial. I felt like I had bought a plane ticket and then gotten on the wrong flight.
Katelyn had a lot of friends come and see her after they got out of school today. I loved hearing how Boles's administration, counselors, and teachers (like Coach Go) supported a grieving school.
The comments on this blog have been amazing. Despite the fact that we may have never met them or known them well, you can tell they really did know Jessica. As for those of you that face-to-face gotten to know Jessica, thank you for being inspirational and we love you!
Bryn is going to school tomorrow because she wants to dress up as a scarecrow since it's Halloween. Dressing up as scarecrows is a Wood Elementary kindergarten tradition. I am very nervous for her, but I know her teacher Mrs. Maurer will take excellent care of her.
After Jess said yes to marrying me we had to choose a minister. After a lot of discussion we chose someone that meant a lot to us, Barbara who was in charge of a ministry on the UTA campus (The Wesley for those of you who went to UTA). Unbelievably, Barbara was soon diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent chemotherapy. Even while undergoing treatment, she still chose to do our wedding. We lost touch with her, but the last I heard she was doing alright and had even gotten a big promotion.

Just wanted to say thank you, to you and your precious family for blessing my family. We have kept up w/ your blog, prayed for your family, laughed and cried while reading your stories, and have seen God's hand at work over these past few years. I know it hasn't all been pleasant, but thank you for allowing God to use you and your family as a testimony for others. You have shown us what faith and trust in God look like, on a daily basis. Bless you all!

Oh, Jake
You are being so strong right now. Please remember not to shoulder this all on your own. Elizabeth King and I brought Jadyn Rose a gift and left it on the porch. We hope she loved it. I left you some lyrics by Chris Rice on Wednedsay. It's called Breakfast Table and its as if you are singing this to Jess. Please know that you and the girls are loved dearly.
Love,
Carrie Farrell

Jake: You are so precious and have been so steadfast throughout this entire journey. It is truly amazing. I pray God will be so very near to you and your sweet, sweet girls. May He hold everyone of your family members in the palm of His hand. May He give you rest today.
We love you dearly,
Mike, Cherie, Zach and Emily Stephenson

All of you have touched and blessed so many hearts, including mine and my family's. May God's all-embracing love, hope and peace continue to cover you for the journey ahead!

I knew Barbara at Wesley Foundation too. Sadly she died from breast CA about 8 years ago.
