Sharon Gettelfinger, my witty, funny, intelligent, and caring sister-in-law, WON her battle with breast cancer Sunday, November4th at 2:00pm. Remembering her, I decided to look through some old photos. This one is a PERFECT picture of her. This photo shares very much who Sharon is. She liked to laugh.
We know Sharon won her battle and lives today because she accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. She lived for Christ and she shared His love with many people. She may very well be accepting her crown right this very minute. You can learn more about Sharon's journey by visiting her Caring Bridge website at www.caringbridge.com and typing in sharongettelfinger where it says, "Visit a Caring Bridge website."

Kelly,
I cannot imagine how difficult this must be for your family, especially your brother and his children. I will be praying for you all.

I am so sorry for your loss and that of your brother's and his children. I am glad that you have your faith to help you through this. I enjoyed reading your post and visualizing it as you described the joy of the moment. I will be thinking of you and your family.
Kelly, I just stumbled onto your blog from SCS, and while I think your creations are beautiful, I was blessed to read of your testimony of God's faithfulness. I, too, am a believer in Jesus Christ and the power of His resurrection. I'll pray for you and your family.
