Every year when the calendar turns to November, I can feel the sadness taking over. It’s this slow march to the anniversary of Nora’s death – the last day I heard her voice, kissed her face, and felt her arms hugging me. Most of the year I’m able to keep the painful memories tucked away, but…

We wanted to share some great news with you. The building permit was issued for Nora’s Library this week! A construction timeline will soon follow. We expect to “break ground” before the end of the year. Almost as exciting is the news that we reached our fundraising goal! Thank you to everyone who so generously…

We are thankful for many blessings in our lives. But we are most thankful for the brief time we shared with our daughter Nora. As we walked with her through the challenges and hardships that she faced in her too-short life, I knew she was brave and strong. But now I have a new perspective…

Nora would have turned eight years old last Monday, December 11. As we get ready to celebrate the holidays, our thoughts are very much focused on the joy Nora brought to our lives, and especially her love of Christmas. We hope her joy can live on through our work with Nora’s Fund and the library…

Thanks to the support of Nora’s Champions, we have raised $27,140 toward our goal of $50,000 for Nora’s Library! We are more than half-way there.

We are ecstatic to announce that a new library will be built in honor of Nora, in the heart of Silicon Valley, at the Valley Medical Center in Santa Clara, CA. Nora’s Fund has pledged $50,000 to build a library area that will give children and their families a place to escape the monotony of…

December 11 – Nora would be six years old today. We think she would probably love to go for a walk after dark to see all the fun Christmas lights in our neighborhood. She would have an admirer in Magnus who would try to follow her every move. She would enjoy blowing out her candles…

Two years.  Hard to believe.  Hard to live through.  Our hearts and lives are still so full of Nora, yet we miss her every day.  We are thankful for her foundation because it gives us something positive to focus on amidst the sadness.   Our big goal for 2016 is to finalize our grant with…
