"How do you memorialize your child on what would have been her 29th birthday? This is only one of a myriad of ways. I chose to update Naomi's blog with a tribute to her Jie Jie. Our precious Shasta went to be the the Lord on Monday, October 1, 2007 as a result of a fatal automobile accident. Her husband and children were with her when the accident occured, but thankfully, are physically unharmed. Eric, Olivia, and Amanda are now living with Eric's mother and struggling to find the new order in their lives. Shasta had been homeschooling both girls in the "cabin in the woods" less than two miles from where we live. Now the children are enrolled in public school in the next county and seem to be adjusting to their new routines.
This past year has been a gift from God for our family. Shasta was close enough to be "information central" when we made the big trip to get her little sister, Naomi. We had time together in such a rich way that we might not have had if they'd still lived in the next county.
There is no way to sum up a life in just a few paragraphs. Shasta lived well, loved well, and knew her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I have many, many wonderful memories that will be shared in the stories that I tell her daughters and her little sister as they grow to adulthood.
Shasta Leigh, I love you so much.
Momma
