#15 Samuel Rose

Samuel "Kendal" Rose is a patient with Good Shephard Hospice at this time. He and his wife, Bea, have 4 children, 4 grandchildren and 7 greatchildren who are all on his memory quilt. Kendal and Bea have raised their family in the beautiful mountains of Marble, NC. When Bea asked Kendal what colors he would like on his quilt, he said pink and blue. This quilt will always bring back memories for Bea of the days he would tell her to dress the kids up in pink and blue.

#14 Jessi Patrick

Jessi is a beautiful 13 year old girl that was living a good healthy active christian life with her wonderful parents until a couple weeks ago. She and her parents learned the devasting news that she has an aggressive form of leukemia. She will be in the hospital the majority of the time for the next 6 months having chemotherapy. The Patrick family attends the First Free Will Baptist Church of Hayesville, NC. The pastor's wife asked for a "happy" quilt to make her smile and feel the warmth of her family and friends around her.

July 6th...Jessi and her parents love the quilt. Please say a prayer for this family.

November 25, 2010...Heaven just got a whole lot sweeter. Jessi went home to be with Jesus. Please pray for her parents, Bud and Kathi.

January 11, 2011....Jessi lives on the hearts of so many. Her Mom, Kathi, has set up a beautiful blog. Her blog is truly inspirational.

#13 Brad Pinson

Brad Pinson was an amazing man. His wife Faith is a good friend of mine and I wanted to make a "special" quilt for her after Brad passed away earlier this year. Back in 1983, Brad travelled to the Phillipines with a missionary group. While he was there he purchased the shirt that is in the center of the quilt. The pictures on the shirt are ones of the village he preached in and of him baptising children. Brad called this shirt his "preaching shirt." His favorite saying was "God is good....all the time." The pictures around the shirt in the center are of the loves of his life - preaching, family and golf.

Thank you Faith for your donation to Good Shepherd Hospice and Home Health of Murphy, NC. It has been my honor to make quilts for their patients.

#12 Abby Joyce

Abby is Marlo's big sister. Marlo's quilt is #11. When Abby's daddy first started suffering from complications from surgery, a quilt was made for her so she could keep her daddy close to her while he was in the hospital. It is #31 (2009) . Her Grandma (Meme) says she takes it everywhere. She is such a sweet girl. She received this quilt from her Meme at the baby shower for her new sister Marlo.

#11 Marlo Joyce

Marlo is due to be born the end of this month (June 2010). Her Grandma (Meme) wanted to have a special gift made for her. Marlo's daddy suffered from complications from surgery last fall and unfortunately passed away March 17, 2010. The quilt is all pictures of her daddy. Meme gave the quilt to her daughter at Julie's baby shower. The birth of Marlo at the end of this month will be joyous but also extremely emotional. Please keep the family in your prayers.

Marlo was born beautiful and healthy on June 24, 2010.

#10 Isaac

Isaac will be graduating in June. Words just do not describe how proud his Grandmother is of him. She knew a couple years ago that she wanted a quilt to give her daughter with pictures of him from pre-K through graduation. Grandma picked out fabric to show off his love of nature. Congratulations, Isaac, you have made your family very proud!!

#9 Ronnie Aiken

Ronnie received this quilt from his 12 year old step-daughter that loves him dearly. He is under care from Good Shephard Hospice. His wife, Cheryl, knew he would love one of these quilts because she and the 3 daughters are very special to him. They each wrote messages to him. I put their messages with their pictures on the quilt. The youngest girl is just adorable. She told me I could post her sweet message. I share it because I think it is a good message for us all to think about.

Dear Papa Bear,

I want to tell you how much I love you. You are pretty much the best step dad anyone could have. You are literally always there for me. As much as I back talked you, you never raised your voice at me. I LOVE getting to ride horses and wrestling with you, I could name a whole lot more. I know you were in the Vietnam War and God was with you that whole time just as you are with me. When I found out I was getting a step dad I was soooooo happy it was you. You're the best!!! Love you a whole bunch!!
