I miss this.
Just wanted to ask for you all to pray for me & my siblings. This past week has been unusually difficult for us in regards to missing Mom...lots of crying, dreams about Mom, missing her terribly, etc. The 21st marks the 2 year anniversary of her death. I think maybe with that on the horizon it has intensified the pain of her loss. I haven't felt this sad in a long, long time. At first I thought I was crazy- all this crying out of the blue- but Rocky & Julie said the exact same thing. We sure miss Mom. Really bad. Thankfully we don't grieve without hope. This life is just a breath and we'll be joining Mom in the Lords presence. But in the mean time, please keep us in your prayers. I want to honor the Lord in my grieving.

Jeanie, I will definitely be praying for all of you. I would imagine it's totally normal to grieve the way you guys are, no matter how long it's been. What a legacy your mom left! Grieve with hope, that is what you must do.
Nate and I are praying for you and your family. The Lord will give you the strength you need to make it through these difficult days. I trust that He will give you lots of wonderful and happy memories of your mom and family time to Celebrate her life. LOVE YOU!
Hey Joe and Family! Joe, its been a long time! We need to talk and catch up! Are you on facebook or myspace by chance?

Oh Jeanie...this makes me cry. What a loss. We don't know each other super well, but I'm very close to my mom and fear losing her so it's easy for me to imagine myself in your shoes and grieve with you (though I'm sure it doesn't compare with what you're feeling). No doubt, the Lord is being honored and glorified through you in this time of great pain. Know that you are prayed for.
praying for you friend:)
love you Jean! Praying for you friend!
Jeanie, that brought me to tears! I can only imagine the grief you must feel!! I'm thankful that you have your brother, sister, dad, and husband to walk through this grief with!!! You have brought much glory to the Lord in this area of suffering since I've know you - watching your mom with cancer and then saying 'goodbye' to her! You definitely have not 'wasted your mom's death' (as Piper would say)! Jesus has been magnified through your pain!!!
I will definitely be praying for you as you continue to grieve, sister! Thank you SO much for sharing so vulnerably!!!
by the way...is that Joe?? He looks like a 'baby'! : )
absolutely praying for you, friend
praying for you guys, love your fam so much! I was just telling someone the other day, that ya'll provoke me with your examples of joy in the midst of pain....
I'll be praying for you, Jeanie!
Hi Jeanie Girl:
I am praying for you and all of the wonderful Bower clan. May the Lord's grace and peace abound during this time. Thanks for showing us all how to grieve with hope.
Much love,
Jenny M.
I'm sorry Jeanie.
