I would be dishonest if I told you this was a good Christmas for us all. Christmas was one of Jess' favorite holidays. He would always wake up Jamie first and talk her into getting up and then he loved to pass out the presents. We would all make popcorn balls a couple of days before Christmas which we couldn't seem to do this year. We did manage to decorate a tree and rise to the occassion just in hopes of receiving our miracle. But, I guess it is still just not in the plan for him to come back to us yet.

I am so thankful Grandma and Grandpa, Joey, Angie & her sister, Jamie & Jahara and Uncle Jim & Aunt Claudia were here to help us find some peace throughout the day. It was Chris' birthday too...we know what wish was made when he blew out the candles on his birthday cake. None of us can imagine why this has happened to our family and especially to our Jess but we keep praying there will be some sort of good come out of it. We know Jess is still in the thoughts and prayers of a lot of people in this valley and we can only thank you and wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and a safe and joyous New Year. Hug each other and be so thankful for every moment you can share together. With love....The Matey's
