My dear, sweet Cindy left this world to join Jesus at 10:22 local time in Houston. Thank you for your prayers, it has been a peaceful and wonderful evening. Today is Daniels birthday, tomorrow Jonathan will graduate from college and we will have family traveling in many different directions. Please continue to pray for us, we are so scattered and have so many things to do that we have never done. I will try to put up some kind of update with plans for the funeral, etc. some time soon. Thank you again for so the encouragement and support we have received from everyone.
I was afraid that the news would make the next day even more difficult for graduation. The day was really nice and everything went well, all things considered. It was nice to see the family come together and celebrate Jonathan's accomplishment and be there to support each other in the bittersweet moments. I just kept thinking to myself that Gigi promised she would be at the ceremony so this was the only way she could still be there considering the state she was in. I know she was just as proud of Jonathan as I was as he walked across the stage.
After graduation we learned that Wes would be preaching Sunday morning for Mother's Day service. We also heard that Nicole told her kids about their Gigi and that Kiana was taking it the hardest. We decided it would be best to get to El Paso as quickly as possible to be there to hear Pops preach and to just be with family since the next few days are likely to be very difficult. We are currently on the road making our way to El Paso to make it for 10 am service. The service is likely to be very difficult and emotional. I still can't believe that when I walk in the doors to the auditorium Gigi won't be sitting in her row.
As for funeral plans, nothing has been set yet. I will post updates as I know more. Today we are going to enjoy Mother's Day and spend time with each other. Its a Phillips tradition to go bowling after lunch so we are sticking to that plan. Thank you for your continued prayers and support.
Happy Mother's Day to all the moms! Enjoy your day- you deserve it!
