Hello all. Thanks for the comment Shar. This is Cheryl. We are all doing fine except for a few colds going around.
I continually check into Roxannes blog. It is a hard habit for me to break. You are right it is a matter of time to heal. It is 7 months now and I still catch myself crying sometimes. Yet as I say that we still do lots of laughing when we think of all the memories and good times we had with Roxy. You don't realize how much you miss or rely on someone until they are gone. And trust me we relied on each other lots.
My daughter Kirsten (4 years old) prays for aunty Roxanne almost every night. She asks God to watch over aunty. She knows aunty is in heaven and is not sick. She always asks that aunty has a good sleep. She says we will see you again aunty and then you can keep care of Uncle James and Justin. Amazing how it takes a 4 year old to keep things in perspective.
James and Justin are doing well. They have set some daddy and son guidelines. James is busy at school and Justin goes to a sitter everyday. It played ball and did lots of golfing this summer. Justin was in swimming lessons. We just had James's bday on October 28th and all the Brules were there and Rose Marie and Maurice came down as well. It is such a blessing that we can stay in close contact with them. Roxanne really wanted that.
I will continue to check in to this blog. Please keep me updated with everyone. I will continue to pray for Donna and Trina's dad with their cancer battles.
Take care all.
Thanks
Cheryl

Relay For Life
Hello everyone.
We are all do well. We still have our cries but the memories are amazing. James and Justin are keeping busy with golfing and stuff around the house. I have really been missing this blog. I have gone through the stages of checking it everyday and controlling myself from typing more. James will still post a final blog when he is ready.
Happy Mothers Day to all the moms. James, Justin and Roxannes parents went to her graveside and gave her roses. She loved to get roses, so I know she would have had a big smile.
We wanted to let you all know that we will be participating in the Canadian Cancer Relay for Life on June 15. There will be 2 teams entered as a tribute to Roxanne. One team is a family team and the other is colleagues of James's at Greenall.
If anyone is interested in supporting us please let us know. Pass this on to others as well. Email me at

Thanks again for all your support and continued prayers. We appreciate it.
You are all great!!!!!

Celebration
Hello all.
Today was a day to say good bye to Roxanne, my sister (in law). She was a fabulous lady who was well loved by all. You could tell by the numerous people who came to celebrate and support our families and the many comments you have sent.
Roxannes funeral service was beautiful. She is celebrating with Jesus. We were blessed with beautiful music by the Korte relatives. What amazing voices and talents they all possess. Father Dan and Father Abbot Peter delivered a beautiful Catholic service representing Roxanne and her love for Jesus. We were able to have a delicious lunch presented by the CWL ladies. Thanks to aunts and friends who brought dainties for the lunch. They were delicious.
Writing this blog was great for Roxanne, myself and all readers. It was a small thing that I could help Roxanne with in her fight against cancer. It helped us all to follow her journey and provide her with words of support. It was a great release for both of us.
Thanks to all for your support and words of encouragement. Keep posted for further blogs.

Hello everyone. Just a quick note.
Roxanne went to be with the Lord tonight around 9ish. She fought a hard battle but the cancer kept growing into her brain and pancreas. The family was able to be with her right to her last breath. We will let you know when the funneral will be.
Thanks to all of you.

Hello all. Today was a day of minimal change.
This morning I went in to visit early. Her brother, Ron was just getting ready to go and get some sleep. James and I read the blog comments. Then the music therapist came. She brought her guitar and sang her a few songs. She sang Angel by Sara Mccloglin (not spelt right) and a Song by ABBA. It was so nice and relaxing.
Her heart rate and blood pressure are stable. She is still on the 60% ventilator and 40% her own. She was retaining fluid in her hands and face but they were giving her something to fix that. Her blood level was stable today also which is good. She has a cool bed that inflates and deflates so she is continually moving and not getting bed sores. What a great invention.
Ron and Leanne Holloway, Aunty Eva were up also. Michel and Nicole brought us up supper (KFC). Thank you again. All the family was up today except for Roxannes mom and dad. They went home for a prayer night with the Muenster community. What an amazing event they have planned. It is never ending the things that people are doing to support us. We love you all, even though I may not know you. You all have a special place in our hearts.
Justin went to preschool today. The preschool parents have started a list for bringing suppers. It is wonderful to have such special people to provide such great support. James just came and took Justin home. Justin was crying because he wanted to go home with daddy to his own bed. So it will be really good for both of them. James is still making his lesson plans for school. Someone asked us why...James said we don't know why but we are not looking back. We can only look to the future and pray that Roxanne will build up her strength so we can golf or camp this summer....
No news right now is good news.
Thanks to everyone for everything you are doing.
