Thank you to everyone who donated! If you didn't donate but want to, it's not too late. Just email me and I will add you to the list. If need be, I will purchase more books, as shopping for children's books is one of my favorite things to do!!
The books above were purchased for the basket to be donated in memory of Mrs. K. They are all hardbacks (except one) and have a picture inside the front cover. I will take the basket to the funeral home this afternoon.

It is with great sadness that I must tell you that our beloved Mrs. K. has passed away. She died from complications after a fall in her home on Monday. A prayer service will be held on Tuesday, July 10, at 6:00 pm, at Cutler-O'Neill Funeral Home in Council Bluffs. The funeral will be held on Wednesday, July 11, at 11:00 am, at Queen of Apostles Church in Council Bluffs. I know death is a hard concept for little ones to understand. You will have to decide if the funeral or prayer service is right for your child. I will be at one or the other, and possibly both. In lieu of flowers, I thought it would be best to donate some children's books to the Kreft library in her memory, as reading to the children was one of her favorite things to do. This past year she was diagnosed with a lung disease and used portable oxygen. Though she wasn't able to walk to our room, she continued to come to Kreft to read to the kids, where we met her in the entry way so she didn't have to walk such a distance. Now that's determination! She even came to our Celebration of Learning! If you would like to donate to this cause, please email me ([email protected]) or text me, 402-598-9297. I want to get an idea of how many will be participating before I buy the books. If you could get back to me by Sunday evening (July 8), I would appreciate it! Letter WritingOn a brighter note, I'm already missing the kids and would love to hear from them! If your child would like to write me a letter, I promise to write back!
