“ The priceless gift of life is Love,

With the Help from God above.

Love can change the human race,

make this world a better place.

For Love dissolves all hate and fear,

It makes our vision bright and clear,

So we can see and rise above our pettiness

On the wings of Love “

How It All Began...Definitely Not Where It Will End❤️

Ten years ago I was told that
“ I Love Too Much “
And I have to tell you that screwed me up. I thought something was wrong with me.

I remember crying my eyes out as I imagined myself telling others to take the love that I have in my heart and spread it to others because I no longer knew how to use it.

I learned or maybe I genetically inherited from my mother that Gods greatest gift to us all is the ability to LOVE. I thank God for that gift and I thank God for blessing me with a mother who taught me by example how to Love.

I’ve always heard the phrase ....
“ Prisoner within Your Own Heart “
And that’s exactly how I felt and still do in some ways.
Knowing How to Love, Having a heart Filled with Love...But AFRAID to use it.

And That’s where a 17 year old boy named Cody Hayes changed my life forever. Because of Cody I found a way to use Gods Gift ( Love ) in so many other ways.
Cody also taught how to Love others by example.

As Cody was fighting for his own life with leukemia he was constantly going down the halls of The Children’s Hospital to uplift other children with cancer.

Cakes For Cody was launched and since then over 10 other Cake Fundraisers have been done to help families with a sick child.
Every fundraiser I’ve done was done out of Love.
Cody, Libby Claire, Paresia , Paisley, Haley, Conner, Jeremiah, Bella, Addy Kate, Avalyn and Addison all felt to me like a permanent member of my family. I love each of them.

Cody, Libby Claire , Paresia and Addy Kate were all called to Heaven after a heroic fight against a evil adversary and the Angel Of Hope Statue was my way of showing my Love for each of them and for every child who is no longer with us.

Everyone who knows me knows that I LOVE MY MOTHER SO MUCH , yes she’s no longer here on Earth but I don’t say LOVED...that refers to the past...I LOVE HER TODAY AND FOREVER just like each of you do who lost someone that you LOVE who is no longer here on earth.

LOVE IS ETERNAL

Thank you Mother for all you taught me, all that you showed me and most importantly Thank You For Showing Me How To Love.
I now know because of you and because of Cody Hayes to be
PROUD THAT I LOVE SO MUCH.

Because that’s why there’s cake fundraisers helping others, an Angel Of Hope To Comfort Others And Headstones now on the Graves Of 2 Children who didn’t have one before and a headstone on a 18 year old who was shot and hung 80 years ago and buried in a unmarked grave for 80 years .

BUT NOT NOW WESLEY JOHNSON ❤️❤️

It took 80 years to get you a headstone but not one day later!!!

Love you Wesley and I love all of you who have supported and donated to each of my fundraisers.

We Have Just Began

How wonderful this world would be if we all LOVED TOO MUCH ❤️❤️❤️
