We were finally able to celebrate Hannah's First Communion today. We had originally planned it for Mother's Day, but our move to Pittsburgh forced us to cancel. We have waited all summer, hoping we could do it after my transplant, but decided we needed to do it now. I want to say a special thank you to Father Greg and Sister Regina who helped us put this together on such short notice. I also want to thank the Rowe family for waiting so that Hannah and Alexis could make their First Communion together. Fr. Greg brought along the choir from St. Mary's, which we so appreciated. It truly was a celebration and I am so grateful that I could be there!Here are some pictures from this wonderful day!

Wow! Hannah is so stunning in those pictures! Thank you for sharing and a BIG congratulations to Hannah. What a special day for you all and one that I am sure you will treasure for a long time. I think it is just so wonderful how a small community will come together for such a wonderful family and help them celebrate a very important step in life. My favorite picture is the last one with Hannah holding the flowers without her glasses on. She is absolutely beautiful and looks so proud. I know you are! Our love to you all! May God continue to watch over you and He will bring those lungs to you soon!
Love you all,
Debbie and Family
I agree totally with what Debbie said. ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! I am soooo glad that you got to do this and sooo glad that it all came together so beautifully. What a beautiful family you have. I have been checking back all weekend, just knowing that I was going to see a post that said you were signing off cause those lungs had just landed. But I have not lost faith and I KNOW you havent either. You are simply gorgeous Nancy. --enjoy your little family. B
Oh my goodness sakes, Hannah looks so BEAUTIFUL and full of JOY in her photos! I love them. What a pretty white dress and what a special girl! I'm so happy that you were able to celebrate such a wonderful day together!
(Nancy - life has settled down a bit so I will email you back later today. The kids are feeling much better. Thanks for the prayers! I'm so glad you felt well enough to enjoy Hannah's VERY special day!)

Nancy- Hannah looked ABSOLUTELY beautiful!! I'm sorry we didn't get to share in her day with her- we had already made plans. However, I do have a little something for her that I will have to drop off this week! I'd love to see more pics (I'm sure you have them!). I will give ya a call and find out when would be a good day to stop over.
HUGS!!!
