First, let me start by saying we were both really looking forward to going to Connecticut. We were getting a break from the cold in Seattle, going to see family that we haven't seen in awhile and getting to eat amazing food cooked by my Aunts (and Duchess)! Most importantly we were traveling there to bring Kensie to her resting place above my Grandmother.
It was a gorgeous day and the priest gave Kensie and our entire family a beautiful blessing. One of my mother's cousins, Marilyn Feranec, made a small pink and brown blanket for her to be wrapped in and we included a few other things to be set with her. The stone had already been placed in the ground and it was bittersweet to see. We know that she is in the absolute best hands possible - God and my Grandmother.
The stone was a little dirty, but it will match my Grandmother and Grandfather's stone and because my Connecticut Aunts are so amazing, she will always be surrounded by various flowers.
On the way home from our Connecticut trip, Brent shared a picture from his parents. Barbara and Tom Eason mounted a cross in their rose garden with Kensie's name on it. We understand it was too far of a journey for them to be present for the service and we think it is so sweet there is something in Nashville in her memory.
Thank you to everyone who helped or even thought about us this past weekend. Also Brent and I would like to extend our gratitude to the family and friends who donated in her name to such charities like the March of Dimes. We will always carry her memory as we look towards the future.
