Christi Thomas Memorial Fund & Scholarship Site
Before Shayla's birthday, I shared how some of the Christi Thomas Memorial Fund monies will be utilized. There will be three $1,000 Scholarships awarded each year. Additionally, there is one very large project still in the works and another small project which needs to be pulled together; however, I will go ahead and share the website for the fund. www.ChristiThomas.org (Note that the CT Memorial Fund website is a .org versus her main website which is a .com.) We are grateful for all of the generous donors who helped establish this fund to leave lasting memorials of our sweetheart, Christi Thomas. Thank You!

Valentines…to Heaven
This Valentine is not of the ordinary kind,
Its still filled with love...and blessings inside;
But mine has to be sent on the wings of love...
You see its destination is the Heavens above.
It’s not being sent to my parents so dear,
For they are still with me each day of the year;
It’s being sent to my child..., who left earth so soon,
Who's now in the Heavens with the stars and the moon.
The message is the same as your valentine,
"I love you...my sweet precious child of mine;
My love is still deeper than the ocean is blue,
And it’s sent with hugs and kisses...from me to you."
"I know you are with me each and every day,
You listen as I talk to you...and hear what I say;
For that is one thing that disease cannot do...
...you'll always be apart of me...and me a part of you."
"I know you are in the best of care,
But it's so hard for us left on earth to bear;
Could you put in a request from us left behind...?
For God to send the knowledge…so a cure we can find."
"So that no other family has to go through this pain,
Our lives without you will never be the same;
When I get lonely I will look to the sky at night...
And see you shining down your big bright light."
"Happy Valentines day sunshine...I miss you so much,
I know you know how many lives you have touched;
You'll always be mine...I love you with all my heart,
I know we be together again...and then we'll never part."
So you see the meaning is still the same...
The method of delivery is the only change;
Mine must be sent by a little white dove...
On the wings of Love.

The second picture of Christi in the banner reminds me so much of the picture of Shayla in the snow yesterday! You can certainly see the family resembalnce.
I can't wait to visit and see how I can contribute more to a wonderful cause!!! I was in the Ronald McDonald House in Long island and thought of all of you this evening. Just wanted to wish you a good weekend with a little less snow!
your love for your daughter is so immense...how i wish she were here with you still...
i learned of christi only days before her death, and have been a faithful reader of your blog ever since...
the scholarships you have established in her honor are so beautiful and so carefully chosen...wishing you and your family peace and the ability to smile at your wonderful memories...
It's so wonderful seeing a blend of pictures I see every day some where else. The photo have been deleated, but I know what it looks like.
I'm still reading this every day.
