The Final Update (sort of)

Hello all,

This is Pierce again. Today, January 14th, is my birthday, and on this day that all of you so generously celebrate my birth, I ask that our thoughts and wishes be with my beautiful and loving mother who, just this evening, left us for the the next great adventure. A simple country girl at heart, and forever loved by so many, she peacefully passed away in the early evening.

She passed with great comfort, and surrounded by friends and family. Thank you all for so graciously keeping up with her and sharing your life and love. I intend to keep this website alive to share her wonderful thoughts and perhaps eventually more of my own.

Thank you all for your continued thoughts and prayers.

All my love,

Pierce
