A Sad Goodbye!




On August 18, 2013 we said goodbye to some of our dearest friends the Heinz family. This was a most difficult thing to do as we have come to love them very much over the last three years. Here are some pictures of just a few of the many memories that we made together during those wonderful three years! 


I had to laugh at these pictures of our moms and then us. It looks like us in the future! Haha!!!!

Aren't they so ADORABLE!!! 

I love watching these two together! They are two big personalities!

Not big on getting his picture taken! 

Erich and Iron Will! Kisses to you both!


The Best of Friends! I love you Camille!!!!


We  don't always understand why God allows different things to happen, like having good friends move, but I do know that I can trust the God who does know! May He use you mightily in this new phase of your life! I know that you will touch many new lives with your hospitable spirit and joyful home! 
I love and miss you all!!!

  1. My heart hurts for you! I can't imagine having such close friends move away. They were a very special family!

    That's very true about the picture of the moms being you all in the future. :-)

    I love you!

  5. Ditto, ditto, ditto to everything you've said. I miss them so much too! Thank you for sharing this post and the beautiful (and I guess I should say handsome also) photos. God truly blessed us greatly by sending them here... friends to treasure forever. Three years was too short. We are planning a weekly talk/ Skype time once they get settled. They suggested via computer so we can "see" each other. I can't wait! Big Hugs to you today, Naomi... I know you are missing them much. Love you, Mrs. Potvin
