March 2004 DullesFirst Holiday w/o Paigee
Many people sent email/prayers for Rosie and I to help us get through the Holiday. I'd like to say that it was easy, but it wasn't.
Because we didn't have a Service we are now finding ourselves running into people that didn't know Paige had Cancer, or just those that didn't know she passed. On top of the Holiday that is especially hard. It's more difficult when Paigee's friend didn't know and they end up crying. I know all families that lose a child go through this, I guess it was a slap in the face for us.
Many people have sent email telling of Dreams that Paige was in, some with Shooting Star themes. They really put a smile on my face and make me think Paigee is out there stirring up her normal mischief and her special love. For all these contacts, Thank You !

Hello to you, Rosemary and Chris,
You can have a service for Paige at any time. It might be too difficult right now in the newness of your grief, but it could be a relief to share the burden of grieving with others that knew and loved Paige and who would want to gather publicly to remember her, and grieve with you.
It's a new landscape that you're navigating, and there is no wrong or right way to do it. Please, don't try to shoulder it alone - I hope you have family and friends to lean on now .
Best Wishes,
Becky and family
