Here are our favorite little "some bunnies"! (Easter Photos, 2000)
Yesterday, the Christi Thomas Memorial Scholarship applications were due from the Heidelberg College students. We were pleased to receive seven wonderful applications! A Scholarship Committee of five has been put into place so we will soon be reading and reviewing all of the application materials. This $1,000 Scholarship will be awarded at Heidelberg's Awards Ceremony on April 20th. I think Christi would be proud - she'd just like to be on the selection committee (hee hee)!
Monday will be the sixth month anniversay of Christi's death. I'm already filled with anxiety about how I will be able to handle the day, especially at 9:00 AM. On a more positive note, and in Christi's spirit, I'm pleased to report that there will be a fantastic event that Christi would indeed approve of on that day. The "Christi Thomas Memorial Bloodmobile" will be held at Hospice on Monday, March 19th from 1 - 6 PM. Christi took great pride and joy in hosting various blood drives over the years. I know she'll be there in spirit! If you're able to give blood, please call 419-447-4040 to make an apointment. Community Hospice Care is located at 181 E. Perry Street in Tiffin.
On our way through Kentucky, we stopped to visit "Abe Lincoln's Boyhood Home", since we know some"bunny" very special who shares a birthday with Abe Lincoln! (Shayla!)

all your pictures are soo cute!
thinking of you <3
A blood drive is the perfect way to Honor Christi's memory and spirit! That little one was and continues to be my inspiration for giving blood. I never thought I could do it, but for Christi I sure can.
May God hold you close and bring you His perfect peace on Monday and always.
Love you all so very much!
With love and prayers for always,
Heather
Aww, I love the pic of your somebunnies! Too sweet.
Dear Thomas Family - Came across Christi's story after a local girl named "Laura Stiles" passed away at the age of 12 from neuroblastoma. This brought me to Caringbridge and the rest is history. I viewed Christ's funeral and it was the most beautiful funeral. The procession from the Church to the Cemetary with the horse drawn carriage was just so serene and peaceful. You and so many many families like you are just amazing and your child having to endure what she did - is just to much to take in when you read her story. I believe with everything in me that Christi and so many others have their angel wings and are so free from the terrible things that they had to endure while on this earth. You and many other families who have lost their precious children to this dreaded disease face the same emotions - what to do with my childs room, personal things etc. You will come to grips with all when the time is right........I thank you so much for sharing your most percious daughter with all of us - we all have learned so much from her story.....THANK YOU!
