Apparently there are many bloggers who have decided to CREATE and sell their items on etsy.com and put the proceeds towards the Cora Playground fund. Just visit etsy.com and search "Cora Paige." I'm sure there is much more to come! YEAH!

Don't forget...you can also donate directly to the Cora Playground fund by clicking HERE.

help build Cora's playground



Go HERE to order.

I just learned that a blogger friend is making messy flower pins and headbands, selling them on Etsy, and giving 100% of the profits to Cora's Playground. They are beautiful and I ordered a bunch...you should to :) It amazes me to see everyone coming together and contributing their gifts and talents to try to support Joel & Jess and honor the memory of Cora.

While I am grieving the loss of precious Cora I am also so thankful that in her brief life she has touched thousands of people. I pray that through this loss we will have gained another brother or sister in Christ and that someday we can all celebrate together. We may never know (on this side of heaven) how many people have been changed by Cora, Jess & Joel... but I do know that I will never be the same. I pray that I will be a better wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend and that the Lord will use me and Cora's story to bring Jesus to those who may not know him yet. I am forever grateful that the Lord entrusted Cora to the loving care of Jess & Joel and gave them the privilege of raising her, though the time was much too short. He could not have choosen a more perfect mommy and daddy for her and they have accomplished a job well done. Continue to love them and pray for them (and their extended family) as they take life day by day and treasure the memories of their sweet baby girl. We all love you and miss you, Cora. May Jesus hold you close until we see you again.


Remembering you with love...
