Sierra's Bench Dedication & More

A local company generously donated a bench to our family, in Sierra's honor. Last week we dedicated it to the elementary school that Sierra went to, Mary Blair. It was a very special day for all of us. If you get a chance to go see the bench, it is right in front of the school- anyone is welcome!

The tile in the middle says, " An aspiring teacher on Earth, now teaching little angels above "

Every time Makenna sees the bench, she gives her Auntie a big kiss. It is the sweetest thing to watch. Our dear friend, Danelle, said a prayer - then we released 29 pink balloons.

Makenna loves to play ring-around-the-rosie...even if it's just her playing! In this video she is singing the song- it is kind of a mixture of that and the "Clean Up" song.

Makenna you are such a blessing in our lives. Your smile and personality remind me so much of your Auntie Sierra.
How perfect it was when you saw Auntie Sierra's bench and went right to it to give her a kiss.
Love you Dan, Sherrell and Makenna.

The bench is so beautiful and makes for the perfect blessing over that school and all who will enter. How Makenna ran up to it and gave Sierra kisses first thing was so perfect. Makenna is so precious--we loved the video,Bella was watching and blowing kisses to Kenna. Love you dear friends. See you soon!
