Prayer Quilt & Tribute to Chris

This is the quilt being knotted and prayed over in church. There is a story about the material. My Peru roomie, Susan who you see reaching up in the right side of this picture bought the material with the forest scene on a trip to Calif. She states that she had no idea why she was buying it, but did
none the less. When she asked what colors and things Julian likes, he responded greens and blues and the outdoors and she know why she had bought the material. It was up in church being knotted and prayed over when he was sick with a high fever. It was delivered on Wednesday the day Chris died just before we left for chemo. The quilt was the one bright spot in that horrible day.

This is Chris. He is funny, caring and a bright spot in the world. He and Jules have talked almost daily for years, jokes, politics, guy stuff. When Jules got cancer Chris called twice a day to see how he was doing and to keep his spirits up. He can built anything, loves to ski (always wanted to ski with Star), loves to make music, eat at Mickie D's, and play practical jokes. Everybody liked him instantly. He likes cats even though he is allergic to them. He always said that our cat Merlin converted him to a cat lover and he would have adopted him in an instant.
We went to the North Rim with Don and Connie and Chris and Mary. We have had great couple times together. We have watched the show "24" together for years. We have appetizers, dinner, watch 24, then half way through have a delicious dessert. We switch off one week at our house, the next week at their house.
Chris and Mary
Mary and Chris and Jules. Chris had fun every day, whatever he was doing. Chris and Mary are really funny together as you can see in this picture. Chris we really miss you. We wish you were still here. I went back and read this and thought, you are still here. However, I being selfish want to be able to talk and laugh with you. It's just not the same.
