Sunday, April 21, 2013 - Pittsburgh, PA

I am here in Pittsburgh, PA attending a memorial for one of my favorite aunts, Sarah Spratt. A beautiful service with family attending and then the reception with about 40 relatives. Sarah's family, Bob's family, Donna's family, Richard's family and Margaret's family. What a wonderful way to celebrate the life of Aunt Sar.

Today is a beautiful, I just walked to the Ohio River and back along the Allegheny with a lovely view of the Mount. I love Saint Mary's of the Mount, what a beautiful church and location. We are staying near Pirate's Stadium on the North Shore, they won two games against the Braves. Today is the third game. Excited fans abound.

March 2013 Grief Journal Entries - Thoughts of Will

19-March, 6:55 am, clear, will be a beautiful Spring Day, Lincoln, CA

I could not get back to sleep after 4:30 am, as much as I tried and prayed. Will, you will always be the kindest, most gentle and sweetest person I have known. I am grateful that God gave you to us for as long as you lived. In 16 short years, you accomplished so much, a loving son and brother, uncle and dear friend. A sweet boyfriend and soul mate. A good student, fantastic athlete, a lifeguard, you took your responsibilities very seriously. I often wonder what you would be up to and where your would be if you were still physically here with us.

8-March, Cloudy, Carmel Highlands

We have a beautiful view of the ocean from our villa. This has to be one of the best views ever. Yesterday on the trip down via Palo Alto with Richard getting a blood test and dentist appointment. I connected with Christine, Marielena, St. Bede's and you, Will. You are still impacting change in the community. Marielena is so strong. She calls us an inspiration to her to continue the fight against bullying in the schools. She told me that her special needs student was bullied in the school yard at recess. When reported to the teacher, she said it was not her job, it is yard duty's job...This is terrible and unacceptable.

3-March, 7:06 am, cloudy, Lincoln

Will, I still cannot believe what happened to you and that you are gone.
