So grateful to know you both. Thank you for the coffee and homemade chex snack mix on those long MD Anderson Brain and Spine appt days. Your light has shined and encouraged so many, esp us! Grieving with you…..from one brain cancer family to another.
Sarah, you have my deepest condolences. We met you at MD Anderson just before Christmas 2021. You two were such an inspiration to us. I pray for comfort and peace for you each day. May Aubrey rest in piece and look out for you from above.
Dear Sarah and members of the McKee Family,
Please accept my prayers and sincerest condolences. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord.
In Christ’s love,
Fr. Kevin L. Badeaux
Sarah, I never introduced myself to the two of you when you passed by the gift shop at Baptist for his therapy. I just said yesterday that I had not seen the two of you and I wondered what had happened. Both of you were so precious. He had such an upbeat spirit, as did you and you were his angel and a blessing to him. Ya’ll were so cute together. My thoughts and prayers are for you healing. Please hang on to all the times you laughed together and had fun. Those times will get you through the tough times!!
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love to all.
Aunt Karen, Kim, Randy and Katie
