    Hi Christine, I have been praying for you and your kids and Nicholas ever since I heard about Nicholas being missing. Hang in there! Just wanted to let you know I’m thinking of you and you will continue to be in my prayers. Much love to you all. — Betty in Upstate NY

    Christine, I cannot begin to imagine what all you have been through. Please do not worry about what others are thinking. It truly does not matter. You know what is going on and we will continue to pray for you, the children and Nicholas. Regardless of the outcome, my husband and I are continuing to donate all the proceeds from the sale of my original card cases and I make and list new ones all the time. As my husband said, ‘What would you want if you found yourself in this situation?’ Please know that you are loved, prayed for and thought of constantly. Your children are prayed for by my son, who’s name is also Noah.

    To be honest, it is good to hear from you as it makes us feel a bit closer to you, but I worry that you stress too much about public opinion. You are such a strong woman and I applaud your courage in standing firm in the face of such tradegy. We love you and pray continually for your peace of mind, strength and courage as you continue to face each day. Give your littles ones lots of hugs and I hope that you find some comfort in their embraces.

    Genevieve

    Christine,

    I hope in some way these words encourage you to continue your search for Nicholas.

    Though I can’t imagine how difficult this must be for you, I see you being strong and making smart decisions for your kids, and that is to be commended!

    Have faith that God is in controll right now and he will watch over you and your family.

    I pray for you and the kids every day and continue to hope for Nicholas’s safe return.

  25. on March 20, 2008 at 9:00 pm Christine Francisco

    Please pray for a home for us. we need one soon and so far nothing. God promises to provide our needs and this is a great, great need. I trust and know that God will provide. Please pray that God will show me the home i am to live in.


  26. on March 21, 2008 at 9:25 am taosmel

    Stay strong, Christine.

    Everything will work out. Have faith.


  27. on March 21, 2008 at 2:22 pm In Christian Love

    Christine, I will be praying for God’s will to be done in your life. If it turns out to be His Will for you to stay in your current home, then He will provide just as he already has. If it is His Will for you to move, He will also provide a new home for you. Please be “open” to His will, whatever it may be. I will also pray for Him to open up a job for you that will work well with raising your children. Search for His Will in the days ahead of you. I will pray for His Strength to guide you through these days and whatever they will hold for you, as this will be life changing for you to return to work again and I know this will be hard. But He will walk through it all with you. Put your trust in Him to guide you through your “new life”.

    I do hope you’re doing ok and have lots of family support surrounding you. You need their love and support at this time in your life. Take care of your children and hold them tight, giving them the security that children need.

    And I continually pray for Nicholas to be found safe and soon.


  28. on March 21, 2008 at 5:54 pm Christine Francisco

    An amazing thing happened today. A BIG MIRACLE from God! A very kind and generous couple has offered a home to us that exceeds our basic needs all with free rent and we get to keep our dog and cats!!!! It is such a miracle and blessing. Oh what a glorious Lord we faithfully serve!! What loving and selfless hearts this couple has. Thank you will never be enough to express our gratitude.


  29. on March 21, 2008 at 6:57 pm scheri

    That is so wonderful!!! faith and hoe for more good news!!

  30. on March 21, 2008 at 7:10 pm In Christian Love

    God is good! Now Christine I will lift you up for a job so you will have money for the utilities and food! This is wonderful news! Praise God for his blessings.


  31. on March 21, 2008 at 7:13 pm exmwr95

    “God”, is watching you!


  32. on March 21, 2008 at 7:40 pm EasterMiracles

    God is so awesome! Always watching over you. I know that God is with your husband Nicholas too, caring for him in ways that no other can, unconditionally loving and comforting Nicholas, guiding him back home to his wife and children. What a BIG MIRACLE it will be when Nicholas finally returns home from whatever trials and tribulations he has encountered in these 5+ weeks. Prayers always for Nicholas and his well-being.


  33. on March 21, 2008 at 8:07 pm Christine Francisco

    It will be a great big miracle to know where Nicholas is and have a resolution to this. I am comforted to know that God knows all and sees all. He is a great, merciful and just God.


  34. on March 21, 2008 at 9:58 pm Blessings

    Oh, Christine, you must miss him terribly. Such a long time to wait for your sweet husband to return. I would be beside myself. But when he returns, he will be so proud of you. And how you have held up through all of this, taking care of the children and being so loving and hopeful for his return through these times of troubles. I’m sure he will be especially grateful for all the help you have received during his absence and how resourceful you have been. And how God has blessed your family so abundantly too! God is so good.


  35. on March 22, 2008 at 6:40 am sewphisticate

    Christine,

    What a blessing for you and your children. God is merciful and provides for us. I continue to pray for your and your family.


  36. on March 22, 2008 at 10:40 am In Christian Love

    Christine, I am praying for your husband to come home. That would be the greatest miracle of all.
    The best resolution to this whole nightmare is to have your husband with his family. I continue to lift him up and hope you are reunited soon.

    God’s blessings this Resurrection Day.


  37. on March 22, 2008 at 2:23 pm necessaryindulgence

    christine, that is soooo fantastic!!! I am so thrilled to hear you will have a house!!! What a blessing God is!!!!


  38. on March 22, 2008 at 4:16 pm dreamhouse

    And we continue to pray for his blessings.


  39. on March 22, 2008 at 7:22 pm countingstitches

    Oh, Christine, I have tears in my eyes to the news that God has provided a home that meets all your needs and beyond. He is gracious and merciful. He sees your wants and needs. Just as the little sparrow he cares for, how much more then, does He care for you.

    I will be praying that God in His infinite mercy will ease your heart and that you hear news of Nicholas soon.

    Lots of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to you and your little ones.


  40. on March 22, 2008 at 8:36 pm Caring

    Miracles abound in this holiest of weeks. I pray that wherever Nicholas may be and whatever challenges he is facing, that he is safe and feels the presence of God. Light and love surround you, Nicholas.

    Light and love to Christine and their children, and Nicholas’s parents, sisters, friends, and associates too.


  41. on March 22, 2008 at 9:51 pm sweetgracieforme

    Hi Christine,
    Sorry it has been a while since I have posted, I am always thinking of you and I am so happy you have found such caring and kind people to help you out.
    Always in my thoughts, take care,
    Jen


  42. on March 23, 2008 at 4:49 pm Jillyd Bags

    Christine,
    I am still here praying for you. You and your family are always in my thoughts and prayers.
    Please take care of yourself and your babies.

    Thank heavens for good people.

    So happy for you, Christine. I wish you all the luck.

  44. on March 24, 2008 at 3:03 pm Christine Francisco

    My kids and I have such a long and hard journey ahead of us. while this (the new home) is a great need and miracle we need to know where nicholas is and what happened. I still do not believe for one moment that he would leave on his own accord. While it is heartbreaking to move it is out of great need and we ask for prayers of strength and comfort. It does seem that many of our problems would be solved if we knew what had happened and if nicholas were to come home. But the fact is we don’t know where he is and he is not at home. So we can not count on the unknown but rather take in stride what is here in front of us and do the best that we can. As painful and heartbreaking as it is we can not live in the past and must look forward. I am not in any way giving up nor will I ever stop searching. I believe with all of my heart that God knows where Nicholas is and will reveal that to us in His time and at His will not our own. Yes it is frustrating but I trust God has a good reason as He only has love for us and only wants what is best for us. God will not forsake us.


  45. on March 24, 2008 at 7:12 pm Mel (laughingmonkey)

    I am in awe of your strength.

    I am still standing beside you, hoping that future events will bring you peace and happiness.

  46. on March 24, 2008 at 8:21 pm In Christian Love

    Christine, there is a professional search group that has been instrumental in finding many missing people. They are well known, but I don’t know if you have heard of them. The family must contact them so I wanted to let you know about them. It is free of charge. The man who started it had a daughter who was kidnapped and murdered. The name of the organization is Texas Equusearch. Even though it’s located in Texas, they search all over. They have even been to Aruba many times to search for Natalee Holloway. I highly suggest that you get ahold of them. They have equipment to search bodies of water. I know you had indicated in one of the news interviews that you had a dream about Nicholas being around water. Please contact them and see if they will help you with your search for Nicholas.

    Their website is
    http://www.texasequusearch.org/

    God has put it on my heart to let you know about this organization. I feel sure they can help you find Nicholas.

    Prayers for his safe return.

    I believe Christine has contacted them previously, as per her inquiry about them and a response with their information on Etsy here. Thank you for the information and for all your support!

  47. on March 25, 2008 at 5:38 am dreamhouse

    And you continue to make me feel so small Christine.
    Your faith is so big
    I continue to pray every day for your family


  48. on March 25, 2008 at 5:52 am In Christian Love

    Moderator: No disrespect intended, but I have been in contact with Texas Equusearch. I contacted them and asked them if they could help this family find their loved one. They told me that the request needed to come directly from the family and they had not heard from any of the family.

    I want to strongly encourage Christine to contact them and ask for their help. I will also contact Nicholas’ parents and sisters to let them know about this group.
    They have been very instrumental in finding other missing loved ones and I just feel so strongly that they could help find Nicholas. But the request must come from a family member.

    Continued prayers for the safe return of Nicholas.

    Please understand what I was stating in the last comment: Christine previously asked about this exact group and was given this same information back in February when she was attempting to find out the name of this particular search group. She stated previously that she had contacted the director of the group as well. I did not imply that any disrespect was given and was simply letting everyone know that Christine knows about this service and has been in contact with them already. We do not know the outcome of the situation, which is obviously fine. All support is appreciated.

    Thank you,
    Moderator


  49. on March 25, 2008 at 6:34 am In Christian Love

    Ok, thank you Moderator. I was just going by what Texas Equusearch told me. They indicated they have not heard from any of the family. Since Christine has already contacted them with no results, I’ll contact Nicholas’ parents and sisters and see if they have better luck.

    Continued prayers for Nicholas and Christine and family.

    No problem! I hope they are able to obtain some help with search efforts. Thank you for ALL your help and support!

    (I also updated the link [linked here, too] in the first one to show where Christine stated that she emailed the director. I realize that I had linked to the page where she was first given the information and not where she had responded to that. I hope that explains better what I was saying. I apologize for the misunderstanding!)

    -Moderator


  50. on March 25, 2008 at 10:22 am In Christian Love

    Thanks Moderator. No problem at all. I just hope and pray Nicholas is found soon and is safe, so I’m just trying to help. His family needs him. I can’t imagine how difficult this is for his children. They are so young and I’m sure it confuses them to not see daddy. It just breaks my heart. I’ll let Christine know if I think of any other ideas.

    Christine, just keep his name and face out there any way you can. Try contacting Greta and Nancy and see if they’d do a follow up interview. These shows get a lot of attention and I’m afraid Nicholas’ story is falling off the charts. It would be good to be back on their shows and remind people about Nicholas again.

    Continued prayers for all involved.


  51. on March 25, 2008 at 10:26 am Kim Smith

    Christine,
    I think about you and your little family every day…I am sending happy thoughts for good news soon.

    i’m so glad you have been able to find a place you can afford…..i’m sorry you had to move from your home though….i was really hoping you guys would be able to at least have that remain constant for you…..but on the ohter hand it may be a good thing so you guys can “start fresh”…..know that you are loved and thought about/prayed for daily!!!


  53. on March 25, 2008 at 12:12 pm Bets

    It is so great to hear that someone has offered you a home, rent free, just what I had hoped would happen.
    People like that still exist in this sometimes unfeeling world that we live in.

    Yes, just keep after the news outlets and keep Nicholas’ face out there. Someone knows something and you have so many of us out here who care so much!

    God Bless you, Christine, and your beautiful children. May God bring Nicholas home to you!


  54. on March 25, 2008 at 12:54 pm laughingmonkey

  56. on March 26, 2008 at 8:36 pm goshengirl

    So very pleased to hear you have a home to live in! Praying everyday for answers and sharing your hope! I am never sure what to say. Just want you to know I do care and you are in my thoughts always.


  57. on March 27, 2008 at 12:59 pm RR

    I have been down with first a cold and then the flu, and working a new job, but you and your family are always close in my thoughts. I had the privilege of stopping someone in the middle of a suicide attempt last week it brought home to me how fragile life really is. It made me wish all the more for you to find your husband soon; I know words can’t express what you are truly going through. But having just experienced a life and death situation with someone’s safety in my hands it really has made me stop more often and be thankful for each day that I am given. I wish and pray so often that someone would come forward with the information that would shed light on your husbands’ situation; someone has his life in their hands. I know there is someone who could help if they would just step forward and have the heart to do it.

    I am so glad you will have a home without worrying about how you will pay the rent! There are wonderful people in the world still. What a wonderful thing! Take care, our thoughts and continued prayers are with you. Rach

    He makes me lie down in green pastures,
    he leads me beside quiet waters,

    He restores my soul.
    He guides me in paths of righteousness
    for his name’s sake.

    Even though I walk
    through the valley of the shadow of death,
    I will fear no evil,
    for you are with me;
    your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me.

    You prepare a table before me
    in the presence of my enemies.
    You anoint my head with oil;
    my cup overflows.

    Surely goodness and love will follow me
    all the days of my life,
    and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

    I have no idea where Nicholas is. I do not know if he is alive or if he is not. I said that I will never stop searching and I wont.

    Holy cow, “Spit it out C”, get a rabies shot. :P

    Hi there. I went to middle school with Nick and would like to help out down here in th SW Wash. metro area. Do you have a poster or something you can email me so that I can post his pic around and place it around Vancouver and Portland?

    He never seemed like the kind of person to just walk away even at that young age I could tell that about him. I see his pictures and his smile with his kids and know he could not have just walked away from his family like that. I cannot imagine what you all are going through right now. Be strong and God Speed.

  77. on April 2, 2008 at 11:45 am Kim Smith

    I check this site several times a day hoping for good news for
    you Christine.
    I am hoping for more miracles for you and your little family soon.


  78. on April 2, 2008 at 6:34 pm In Him

    Praying for you, Christine, and your babies, tonight. Praying for Nicholas and both of your families.

    Lord,

    Comfort and bring strength to these mournful hearts.
    Keep these little children and the unborn one safe in Your Presence. Keep them healthy, God, and hold their little hands and faces close to Your sweet and kind face, wrap them in Your faithful arms. Be a Father to them now that their father isn’t able to hold them.
    Let sleep give them all refreshment and hope.
    God, in Your mercy, with the hope that you send, I pray you give them answers. Soon, Lord.
    Praise You, God, for what You have done for Christine and the little ones. You are good and kind in the midst of darkness. Thank you that Christine is keeping her eyes on You. Continue to help her see that in her weakness You are her strength.

    In Him we live and move and have our being.
    You’re doing good, Christine. Keep your eyes on things above.


  79. on April 2, 2008 at 9:25 pm Christine Francisco

    We are moving this weekend. It is very sad and hard on all of us but we don’t have any other choice. It seems there haven’t been any choices during this. Did I tell you that poor little Noah got the Chicken Pox? He is better now but Zea isn’t in the clear yet.

    A friend called me to tell me that LE was on the radio today and stated that they are taking this case very seriously. I’ve known how hard they are working all along but it’s nice to have it public.

    I start my second trimester Sunday and it will be a relief to be out of the first trimester. Noah stuck his tummy out and patted his belly an said “baby”. Zea likes to talk about all the ways she wants to help take care of the baby. It seems that this little baby is bringing us such joy during such a tragic time. This little baby, Zea and Noah bring hope and joy even if none can be found anywhere else. Children are such an amazing blessing and a wonderful gift from God.

    Sadly Nicholas has missed so much in these past weeks. All of his kiddos have changed in many ways and he wasn’t here to see any of it. We all need to know where he is, what happened and why. Somebody knows something and they need to speak up. If for no other reason but for these beautiful kiddos. So no, there is not any news thus far on his where abouts.

    through all of this Job’s first test comes to mind (not comparing myself to Job in any way). The part that I relate to is when God gives “permission” to satan to do whatever he please to Job and that Job will still love and serve the Lord no matter what is thrown at him. not saying this is what has happened to us but i sure feels like it. I believe the say is “when it rains it pours”. But in the rain, God can hand you an umbrella.

    for all of you praying, my children and I thank you greatly. we can feel your prayers and they are a great comfort.

  88. on April 5, 2008 at 7:16 pm countingstitches

    Christine, just sitting here thinking and praying for you and hoping that your pregnancy is going well. Little ones can be such a strength when hard times hit. Their love is pure straight from the Lord’s Own Heart.

    I hope your move is going well, leaving behind memories can be very hard but God has a plan for you not yet seen. He will see you through from beginning to end.

    My our Father and His Angels keep you, protect you, guide you, bring you love and strength beyond your own understanding.


  89. on April 5, 2008 at 9:15 pm In Him

    Christine,

    Praying for you tonight. Also, praying for those who are adding more pain to your grief.

    People try to justify that they are “theorizing” when discussing your and Nicholas’ life. God doesn’t call it that, He calls it gossip. He says not to bear false witness against our neighbor. Bearing false witness is lying. It is gossip:

    “When a person repeats something heard from someone else, or shares a story where they are not 100% certain the facts are correct, or even share information about another person that will only bring them harm and not good, they are bearing false witness against them. ”

    I’m so sorry this has been done to you and to your little family.

    Take heart, little one, Jesus understands. He was lied and gossiped about. He loves you. He loves them, too. They have pain of their own. They just aren’t hearing Him. You’re called to take the higher ground, even in your pain, unbelievable as that seems. Forgive them and feel God’s peace and watch Him move on your behalf.

    In Him.

  92. on April 6, 2008 at 11:06 am In Him

    It seems my post last night has made for more speculation, Christine, and I am sorry for that. I am just here to try to pray and encourage you.

    Here is a link for the quote I used. Some on another forum expressed interest to know. http://www.gotquestions.org/gossip-Bible.html

    I pray that those who are coming here and questioning will read this link and that site.

    I want to clarify that prayers for those who are gossiping do not include Law Enforcement. They and the PI that are working on finding Nicholas are professionals. They are not on a public forum speaking in derrogatory terms about the wife of a missing person. In fact LE has said “it’s a shame that some people have turned on Christine and accused her of things that the Sheriff’s Office do not believe is true.”

    God looks at the heart. He looks at our intentions. My prayer is for those whose intentions are not pure. It is for those who are fooling themselves believing they are aiding the search for your husband but are using the forums for purposes of their own.

    Stay strong in Him, Christine.

  96. on April 9, 2008 at 10:49 pm Christine Francisco

    the move was beyond miserable and painful.

    we have to keep surviving and in order to do that we must accept the past. doesn’t mean we like it, but i can’t change it so we have to accept it and look to the future.

    I trust God with all my heart and know there is light somewhere at the end of this long, dark and scary tunnel.

    thank you all for your prayers.


  97. on April 10, 2008 at 12:16 pm Kim Smith

    Keep looking forward, Christine.
    I’m still hoping for good news for you soon.

    There is light at the end of the tunnel Christine, just keep praying.

    I am so sorry about moving. I cannot imagine what that must have been like. There WILL be an end to the darkness. I pray that it will be soon. Jesus is there with you. We love you very much.

  100. on April 13, 2008 at 9:35 pm supportingeffort

    Christine, my thoughts are with all the Francisco family on this day.

    There are many good people out there wanting to help you find Nicholas. There are even reporters from national media which have shown interest in doing a story on your missing husband. Keeping his posters up and keeping the story in the news makes the chance of finding him even greater. Nicholas would surely be proud to know that you are doing everything you can to help find him.


  101. on April 15, 2008 at 10:33 am countingstitches

    Christine, I am sending my prayers towards the truth about Nicholas being revealed. You need to have peace in your heart about this. I am so sorry that you are going through the most unthinkable and heart wrenching time of your life. I pray that this new baby will bring utmost joy to your life in spite of the tragedy you have endured. You are in our Father’s Hands and in His timing things will be revealed.


  102. on April 15, 2008 at 2:43 pm monica

    Christine,
    You and your family have been in my prayers for the last two months. I cannot imagine what you and your family have and are going through. The truth will show itself one day, just hold on to hope and your faith.


  103. on April 16, 2008 at 1:08 pm necessaryindulgence

    oh sweetie, i am so sorry, i can’t imagine how hard that must have been. I am sorry about your home, but I praise God that He provided a place for you. Stay strong,Hold tight to Jesus!!

    Im still praying for you and your family. I am truly in awe of your faith and your strength. That is incredible about the house! At least the move is behind you now. Hugs and love to your family and you


  107. on April 18, 2008 at 8:22 pm Christine Francisco

    To simply state it… I’m not concerned with the rumors flying around about me. My only concern is the wellbeing of my children and finding Nicholas and the truth to his disappearance. Everything else is obsolete right now.

    God knows my heart and God knows the truth and He will reveal it if He chooses. It’s not my place to do so. Thank you all for your continued prayers and support.

    Many people tell me that they can’t imagine what all of this feels like. My response is, you don’t want to imagine, it hurts too much. The pain that goes with your worst nightmare and then some is unimaginable and I wouldn’t ever want anyone to feel this pain, including those who dislike me. Hopefully I can use this experience and my pain to help others in similar situations.


  108. on April 19, 2008 at 4:06 pm dreamhouse

    Christine,

    I have been following your husband’s case since day 1 and just wanted you to know that I admire your courage. You are a very strong lady and you will get through this with God’s help. I am praying that God will bring you answers soon. Hang in there and God bless you.


  112. on April 23, 2008 at 11:07 am Harmony

    Hi Christine, Just wanted to say hi, and send a little love your way. I’ve been thinking about you and your children and wish you all the best, I hope everything is going okay for you. Love and Blessings to you all. :)

    I have had to shut down my blog (for privacy) but will, as always, check in here. I will update you as soon as any info on what happened to Nicholas is found. I still don’t know if he is alive or dead or what happened that night. I do intend to find out. Thank you all for your prayers and support. It is good loving people like you all who are helping me get through this. God has blessed me greatly with all of you. I thank Him for that. You are all very much appreciated. May God bless you all dearly.

    i’ve been very remiss in checking in, and i do apologize!….christine, you and the children are never far from my thoughts and prayers!!!!!…..i pray that you will be given the answers you need!!!…..hang in there and keep on keepin on!!!!!


  117. on April 26, 2008 at 2:43 pm susan

    Hello Christine,
    Your sweet family is in my thoughts and prayers daily. Your faith is extraordinary.
    I have a question for you – I hope you don’t mind me asking – Do you still want people to search and attempt to discover what happened to Nicholas? Or would you rather just have law enforcement alone investigate the case?
    I know this has been a terrible time for you, and I certainly don’t want to make it any worse. You will always have my prayers. If there is any other way for the many folks who care about you and Nicholas to help, please tell us how.
    Love & prays to you!


  118. on April 26, 2008 at 7:05 pm monica

    Christine,
    Your family has been in my prayers. Your faith and strength amaze me. Keep staying strong.


  119. on April 28, 2008 at 7:03 pm exmwr95

    Not one person can possibly know what you are going through. I had a wife that just up and left one day, you have a husband that just up and vanished, that has to be very hard. The not knowing is the hardest part, you will get your answer one day when God reveals him in due time. Keep batting them blueyes – my prayerson with you and just tiny steps God Bless you my friend.


  120. on May 4, 2008 at 8:26 am necessaryindulgence

    christine– i cannot imagine how difficult all this has been for you and your family, i think of you often, praying!!

  126. on May 11, 2008 at 11:02 pm Kristi

    Hi, Christine,

    I don’t know you though I am acquainted with folks from your church community who have faithfully reminded us to keep your family in our prayers for these agonizing weeks.

    I am 18 weeks along right now, and can’t help but think of you often, especially on this Mother’s Day. May peace and happiness be yours again someday, and may those you love remain safe and near to you. I think of you often and wish you all the best in this confusing and tiring time. Know that there are strangers like me sending you these kinds of wishes every day…you are not alone.

    Blessings to you and your beautiful children today-
    Kristi


  127. on May 25, 2008 at 2:50 am exmwr95

    It’s a day to remember our loved ones, my prayers are with you Christine and praying you will get some news soon. By the way I like your little patch works, do you make quilts or anything like the patterns you put along side our names? Sure would like one, please contact me if you do. Thank you David


  128. on May 31, 2008 at 8:07 am Jillyd

    Christine,
    I am still here thinking of you and praying for an answer. I pray that your pregnancy will continue to go well and your baby will be born healthy.
    Take care of yourself and your kids.

    christine,
    just wanted to let you know that we are still thinking of you and praying for you and for answers as to what happened to nicholas

    i got a very sweet convo out of the blue from a fellow etsian today….her shop is littlegemstudios….here is some of what she had to say:

    Hi, I had often wondered about him. If you know the wife/family let them know people (myself) still remember and think about him and what happened that day. Tell them I don’t for one second think he left them. Sometimes a kind word from out of the blue can help more than words you’ve heard all along. I had this happen to me from an ETSY member. Her message made me cry, she had no idea. But it was right on the spot at the right time. It’s hard to believe in your beliefs after getting knocked around and ripped apart. Some day an answer will come. The fact that he loved her and the kids and was a good man, father and husband is something everyone can be proud of. Ann


  130. on June 18, 2008 at 8:08 pm taosmel

    Christine, stay strong and have faith in yourself. You are doing your best to get through this and we’re all behind you.

    Love,
    Mel


  131. on June 19, 2008 at 2:11 pm sewphisticate

    Christine, we continue to pray for you, your children and Nicholas every night. Hope all is going well with you and your unborn baby.


  132. on June 24, 2008 at 5:13 pm countingstitches

    Christine, I live north of Seattle. I read an article in the Seattle Times newspaper last week regarding Nicholas, I am so sorry that you had to do what you had to do.

    Still thinking and praying for you and your family and the soon to be little one. I pray that God gives you the strength to carry on.


  133. on August 9, 2008 at 4:31 pm cindi

    christine,

    just wanted to drop in and check on you all…we finally got moved and are somewhat settled!…..i hope you and the children are doing well….i continue to pray that you will get the answers you need/want as to what happened
