A friend and fellow photographer on ClickinMoms, Tracy Stone, lost her son Nate to H1N1. Nate was a sweet bright light in his family’s life. They are of course heartbroken. Fellow photogs are trying to help raise money for Nate’s funeral as they find themselves unable to afford it right now. If you could find it in your heart, please donate a little if you can.

This week has been hard for our family but especially hard for my husband Jan. This weekend his grandfather Robert “Bobby” Gibson passed away from complications related to pneumonia and heart failure. The viewing was Tuesday and we had a service followed by burial yesterday. Jan’s mom and aunt are taking it hard. They lost their mom, Bobby’s wife Rose, nearly 5 years ago. We now will be facing another holiday season dealing with this loss.
Below is a photo of Grandpa from June of last year. It was the only photo I could find of him that I had taken. They used it on the memorial program. Everyone really loved this shot and that makes me feel good and that maybe I helped a little in celebrating his memory.
Please keep Jan’s family in your thoughts as they get through this. It’s going to be a difficult road for them as they are a very close family.
Robert “Bobby” E. Gibson
