In Memoriam Meri Kay Carpenter

I wanted to dedicate my post today to my wonderful mother-in-law, Meri Kay Carpenter. Sadly, she passed away on Tuesday, July 10, 2007. As you may (or may not) know from my post on July 2 regarding Couture for Cancer, Meri was recently diagnosed with a progressive from of esophageal cancer. She passed away from a complication of this disease. She was an amazing woman who will be forever missed, but will always remain in my heart. Love you, Meri! I want to thank everyone for all of your kind words and prayers. I'll leave you guys with a pictures of her with grandchildren, Brooklyn and Haileigh (my daughters) who were the light of her life,; and one of her favorite sayings: "We are all one winged angels, and it is only together we can fly.”
