Hi Everyone,
A very dear friend of ours Amy Plank is part of the Winter Park MOPS (mothers of preschoolers) group at All Saints Episcopal Church. Last month they had a huge Carnival to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House. They raised over $1,000 and will be making lunch tomorrow for the RMH as well as donating pop tabs and supplies to the house. I had the opportunity to speak to the MOPS group about how the RMH house has impacted our lives twice and will always be a special place for us. Once again, this is just testimony how Gabriella continues to touch others lives and help spread the word about the Ronald McDonald Charities to the Central Florida Community.
Amy wrote this on her facebook page about the event:
What can I say about Anthony and Kristen...You would never know by the smiles and love they extend to those that surround them that they experienced a loss so great. Their sweet Gabriella was taken far too soon, however she has become an inspiration to the many people who know her Mommy and Daddy. On April 30th at Noon, the MOPS group from All Saints will provide lunch to the families staying at RMH in Gabriella's honor. Please help support the Bencomo family keep Gabriella's spirit of life and love alive by making any donation possible on this day in her memory.
Every parent has "those" days... when I do, I see the smile of Anthony, Kristen and now beautiful baby Bella and I am reminded of how precious life is, how important it is to laugh and love. They set such a marvelous example of strength and courage. What more is there to say? Share this with everyone, learn what RMH does in YOUR community and donate. Visit Anthony and Kristen's website, you will laugh, love, cry and triumph with them.
Anthony, Bella, and I think about Gabriella everyday and is still very much a part of our lives. I sometimes think what it would be live to have a two in a half year old running around the house along with an 8 month old and working full time! I know we would be loving every minute of it. This event brings alot of memories good and bad, but cherished, as we are coming upon Gabi's third birthday next month.
We are very thankful for our friends the Planks and the MOPS club, and love the fact that we continue to share our story with the community and how it has impacted our life.
