#4: The Wedding

Gorgeous as can be....
The Red Shoe (she did wear them both eventually...)
Gorgeous hair
And from another angle
Mom, Shauna, Dad
Mom and Shauna
Obviously a serious Father-Daughter chat....
During the hymn...
Rings
Goofing around during pictures
Damsel in distress??
Taking time to stop and smell the roses
Elena and Ryann waiting for Shauna to walk up
They just couldn't resist
The Bride's cake...
The Groom's cake...
The People's cakes...
Cute as buttons...
Hard at work
Finished!
Goodbye! (Another whet-woo shot)

News of Jessi

This is just a short post to let you all know that my sister-in-law, Jessica Ramey, has passed away. She has been battling a rare and aggressive bile duct cancer for the past year. She died peacefully on Monday, May 17th at 10:30am with Arlen at her side. She was 30 years old. My heart is with Arlen and his three girls today as they accept that she has gone home and now must face a future without her. Funeral arrangements are still being made and I will post again when I know more. My parents and Shauna are on their way out to Ohio and Jessi's parents are already there. I was lucky enough to visit them just two weeks ago when I was in the states for Shauna's wedding, and even though I will not be able to make it back for the funeral, I feel privileged to have spent some time with Jessi before she died.

I know some of you have kept updated with the carepages Arlen and Jessi have written and all your thoughts and prayers have been much appreciated. Will let this be all for now. Sarah
