The now dreaded season of our life is over for this year. Summer began with another successful Pete Gruber Memorial fundraiser on Memorial Day weekend. 80+ golfers and 169 diners came together to honor and remember Pete. It was a beautiful sunny day which turned into a glorious evening of friendship, reminiscing and comfort. The young families are growing and we enjoyed watching the little ones run around the putting green in bare feet, screaming sheer joy. Domenic Ceccoli, proud Pete Gruber scholar #2, attended the event with his mother and served a role as MC of silent auction and awards. Way to go Domenic; on his way to developing a similar Pete style humor and good nature.
This year's scholar (#3) was awarded to Logan Sheets in May. A kind and sweet young man on his path to becoming a great Man of Moeller. We are encouraged by all three scholars zest for life and their caring manner.
The year of the 30 something's began as Pete's friends slowly turn that prime age. We appreciate taking part in the celebrations of this passage in their life.
Summer finished with Paul returning home safely from medical mission in Thailand. And we await the birth of Mark's firstborn- (Pete's best childhood friend). Life comes full circle and we rejoice in staying connected and a part of Pete's friends.
Love to our Peter. We miss you everyday and more. We hope you and Grandma are enjoying the second celebration today of her re-birthday in heaven.
Love, Mom
xoxo

Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.

Footprints
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging
to him, and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it: "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me."
The Lord replied:
"My son, my precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

Some people come into our lives and move our souls to dance.
They awaken us to a new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom.
Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon.
They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints in our hearts, and we are never, ever the same.
friendship.
good times
