Nick’s tombstone was placed in the cemetery about a week and a half ago. Today the sun was shining, and I decided it was time to go visit and take pictures. So after school, I took a walk. I need to get new flowers for Adrienne’s vase. I didn’t realize how faded the flowers had gotten since winter, so I threw them away. I’ll take another picture after I add spring flowers. 🙂
As much as my heart aches as I stand and view these two stones, I do find peace in knowing that Nick and Adrienne’s eternities are secure. Because of this, I can still smile. Erich, Evan, Todd, and Olivia have a lot of this evil world to deal with before they face the throne of God…..it is for them that I pray daily.
Before I went to bed, I wanted to share Nick and Adrienne’s special place with you. I hope you like it.![]()
These are the words that friends and family shared about Nick on Facebook, in emails, and through my blog.
Thank you for helping make Nick’s tombstone perfect!

Thankful for my two gifts in Heaven and anxious for the day when they greet me at the golden gates!

In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven! Email me anytime at 

AMAZING…LOVE IT! I am praising the Lord for the growth he has spurred in so many through Nick’s continual influence in this world!
LOVE YOU!!!

Tammy – these are beautiful ways to honor the lives of your children here on earth. They continue to live and I KNOW the day will be joyous when you change you address too.

Seeing those was like a breath of fresh air. Does that make any sense? Anyone walking by will see God there. Fabulous! What a tribute. To God be the glory.
Thank you all for sharing your kind words. When I have moments of feeling alone all I have to do is come here and remember that God has provided me with such a network of love. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing in my grief, my joy, my journey………..I love sharing life with you and love to hear from you in any way possible (email, blog comments, Facebook posts, phone calls). Thankful, Tammy
Oh Tammy,
