Prayers for Anee

Andrea Wilson-Walton '00 distributed this e-mail today, and I thought I would share it with the rest of you...

-----

Andrea (Russell) Barlow's mother—Diane Swanson—was diagnosed two weeks ago with stage 4 pancriatic, stomach and liver cancer. She passed away yesterday afternoon. Obviously this was beyond sudden and very tragic.

For those of you that know Anee, please send her your love as she will need all the love and support we can give her.

Services are Thursday 2-8 and the Funeral is Friday at 11am in Bryan, Ohio.

Check this hooter OUT! Darsi Miller Edwards 1999

Darsi Miller Edwards 1999 is genius! For those of you who remember her, she was one of the funniest, kindest and most beautiful sisters we have. She married her sweetheart and went on a whirlwind life adventure seeing that her husband played professional football for the Cleveland Browns, the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Chicago Bears and in the Superbowl with the New England Patriots (nice ring!). In the meantime, she had three daughters Taya, Ella and Livi and they all now live in Jacksonville with Marc retired from the NFL and is now doing very well in the insurance business.

But I digress...in February Darsi started her own business Lyvea Designs Inc (notice the mix of her daughter's names?) and it is doing very well. I was lucky enough to get one of her first products the Craft Cloth for Hannah's birthday and it is SO NEAT. Its perfect for crafts, picnics,etc. It cleans off easy and is washable too, it even has pockets along the sides to hold things in. Check out her website at http://www.lyveadesigns.com/ it's great and the girl in the green tank that you see when the site opens is her beautiful daughter Taya!

I am just so excited for her and wanted to pass on her update. When my sister and I moved to Ohio, we were fifteen years old and were so nervous that we wouldn't make any friends, well Darsi was our first friend here in Ohio and then we danced together on the Drill team and now we are Sisters. I just love her to pieces and wanted to let you all know that she is doing some great things!

Above are some pictures of the Craft Cloth. The first ones are of my daughter Hannah playing the most feared Play Doh on hers. The second ones are of Hannah and Jill Pitcher Williams son Owen having pizza and just hanging out on Owen's cloth. The third one is of my son Charlie (aka the DESTROYER) sitting having his breakfast on ours (I promise I am going to fold that laundry!).

Love N Hoots,

Our Thespian Sister Shauna Huff Piatt...

I got this email from Shauna about her production of Cinderella and wanted to let all of you know the details if you would want to catch a show.
It will be wonderful! Here is her email and information about show times.

My production (I am cast in the chorus, am production manager of the show and am on the board) of Worthington Community Theatre's "Cinderella" is July 18th, 19th, 25th, 26th and 27th. The show will be held at Worthington Kilbourne High School on Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 pm and the Sunday matinée (the 27th) is at 2:00. Ticket prices are $10 for students and $12 for adults. If you want me to hold tickets for you, let me know. It's a fabulous family show. I'd love to see you there and I'm always up for a little bonding after any (all) shows. :)

Lonely blog

Hi owl girls... does anyone have any news? Our blog is a little sad these days. We went more than a month with no action. Send your stuff to Emily or myself, and we'll gladly add it!
