Anyone who knows me knows that Richard Paul Evans, Author of "The Christmas Box" is a personal friend of mine. I believe he came into our lives to help us 25 years after the death of our oldest son who was killed in a farm accident. Years after we first met Rick, he wrote about my husband and I and our experience with the loss of our son in his book "The Christmas Box Miricle".
We love Rick and always enjoy a good visit with him. Our most treasured time was when he invited us to go on an Alaska cruise with him 4 years ago. Each December 6th I try to attend the ceremony at the SLC Cemetary. I was the florist who provide hundreds of white roses for the dedication of the fist Angel statue on December 6, 1996. Now many travel long distances to place flowers at the base of the Angel in memory of their loved one.
Yesterday I finished reading his latest book, just released this month, called "Grace" I had a million things to do as I am getting ready for our Happiness Is Scrapbooking Seminar and Workshops next week, but after getting about half way through the book, I could not put it down. I love the story and I know why Rick wrote it. I cried and cried but they were good tears. I hope each of you will buy and read the book and then respond to Ricks request at the end of the book. Rick gives so much to help others and we all should do the same :o) Visit his web site for more information http://www.RichardPaulEvans.com
