~Happy 1st Heavenly Birthday Samuel Jack~

~ February 26th 2003 ~

Before we celebrated Sam's Birthday with his Remembrance Church Service and 500 Balloon Release, we had a small family gathering here in our home, where we remembered Sam in our own special, private way, and opened gifts that were sent through to us in his memory!

As we awoke on Sam's Birthday, there were mixed feelings and emotions, all running high, not quite knowing how this day was going to go...  We took it hour by hour, slowly and surely, and we got through it, remembering Sam close in our hearts...

We had many cards and gifts to open in memory of Sam.  These had been sent through prior to Sam's Birthday from 2 different parts of the USA, some gifts from Canada and some from here in England!

Many of our friends and family remembered our Sam's Day and sent cards and gifts for us...

The photos below will show just how this day followed...

Sophie & Ben started to open some of the Gifts sent through for our Sam!  These were sent from Lynda Beaumont and her precious daughters Chloe, Phoebe and her angel baby Elliott.

...the most Beautiful 'Me to You' Birthday Cake, a Rose Scented Candle, a 'White musk Votive Candle' and Precious Card.

Lynda also sent us 2 beautiful silk embroidered roses in memory of Jack and Sam.  These were made by a wonderful lady named 'Faith Annuschat' from Tulsa, Olkahoma, USA.  These magnificent Roses rest with our Jack and our Sam in 'Their Place'.  I will add a photo of these very soon.

Thank You Lynda for all your beautiful gifts that you sent through for us in memory of our Sam's 1st Heavenly Birthday!
