You Know Your 2 Year Old Loves You When...

From The M&M Kemp Family


Exhausted from working early one morning...I came out to the living room...laid down on the couch...just to rest my eyes for a minute. Jocelyn...nearly 2...came running across the room wanting to sit by me. She had just woken up for the day and had not yet been changed of her soggy diaper. I could feel her making the steep climb up the couch...but I was so tired...I hadn't focused on her task...as I drifted off...I suddenly felt a heavy, squishy, stinky, soggy bum...on my face!!! It was...well all those things...squishy, stinky, soggy...and heavy. I guess she really does love me! I'm not sure we've ever been quite that close! ...I'm sure we'll find better ways of expressing our love in the future! In the mean time...we love you Jocelyn... & your soggy bum!!

In Loving Memory...Barbara M. Kemp

From The M&M Kemp Family
I feel very humbled tonight...I cannot put to words the feelings in our hearts. What an incredible legacy left behind. A woman of pure selflessness...never complaining...lifting everyone around her...loving whole heartily...a wife who sang and danced with smiles and laughter...a mother cheering and supporting all the days of her life...a grandmother full of empathy and understanding...and never afraid to get a little dirt under her fingernails...a great grandmother...tenderly coddling sweet newborns...yet spunky enough to chase 10 giggling toddlers at a time...a rock...a spiritual giant! And while she is greatly missed here on earth...what a celebration there must be in Heaven! You are loved and missed, Grandma...I only hope...we can continue the legacy you began.
