This year has thrown us a curve ball in many ways, and it's how you've handled these circumstances that we have been so proud of. Losing Dede was beyond tough. When you unexpectedly spoke at her memorial you showed immense courage we knew was inside you. Next you geared up for distance learning and made the most of a very challenging situation. You persevered and stayed on top of the new way to do school. Over summer you found ways to stay active with friends, stepped up helping around the house, although you still don't pick up after Lexi :) and have been a solid big brother. You passed your mom in height and your dad's sarcasm. You are caring, smart, lovable, thoughtful, sweet, independent and truly on your way toward a wonderful life. You deserve every bit of happiness that comes your way. Love, Mom and Dad

Dodong Marco!

First off, we are very grateful to have you in our lives. This pandemic has been something that has thrown all of us off guard and it has been a great challenge for all of us to adapt to our new lifestyle. However, you have consistently surprised us with how you’ve handled and adapted to this new norm. We have seen you transition to your virtual learning with ease and still balance your daily routines such as attending class and completing your homework on time while still able to help out at home with chores and even finding the opportunity to spend time with your baby brother and helping him with his homework. We’re not only very proud of you, but extremely inspired by your ability to persevere during this time. We love you always!

-Mom and Dad

Thanks God for having you in our lives.    We remembered the tears in your eyes and your nervous feeling when we were first sending you to preschool, swimming practice, and even your 2nd grade shadowing day at St. Lucy.  And we started seeing your growth, especially during the last few months.  While working at home, we have opportunities to communicate and work together. We have learned how kind, polite, and responsible you are;  Spending more time with grandma after grandpa passed away,  helping brother and sister keeping up with schoolwork, and helping mom preparing meals. Also, not only help taking care of the family matter,  you also try your best to accomplish higher grades on all your schoolwork. We love you and believe in you.  May God always be with you and guide you. Mom and Dad

We could not be more proud of you and everything you have accomplished this year as we navigate these times. Watching you grow into a young man has been quite a sight to see. You haven't had any control over your physical growth as you grew taller and stronger. However, you have had control over your academic and personal growth and maturity. The hard work you put in on a daily basis shows and we appreciate the efforts you have been putting into school and sports. Most of all we have enjoyed your sense of humor and how you keep us all entertained. We love you and can't wait to see how you tackle the world's challenges ahead of you as you have the past 13 years. Mom and Dad

Thank you so much for the joy you bring to our family!  We are extremely blessed to have you as our daughter.  You have taken on a huge leadership role at school and had to navigate a new way of engaging the students and student council.  Your kind heart and generosity for others truly inspires us.  Being an independent thinker and making choices that are best for you is one of our favorite things about you.  We love you and couldn’t be more proud of YOU!

Love,
Muth & Fath

Thank you for bringing smiles to our days while we are quarantined.  There have been a lot of ups and downs over the past 200+ days, but you are learning to roll with it, figure out the person you hope to become and finding joy in every day. Remember, you are setting the tone for your school year and your life experiences. Do your best every day :) We love you!

We are so proud of you and all your hard work doing online schooling starting last February. You have stayed dedicated to completing your work and working independently. You are so bright and we enjoy all the conversations regarding interesting things you are learning not only in school but in the news on current hot topics in this country. We are also so proud of what a kind and polite person you are and how much you care about people and animals and your genuine concern for their wellbeing. We look forward to see you continue to learn, grow, and mature as the year unfolds and you transition into high school. We love you very much. Mom and Dad

We are so proud of you! You are always striving to do your best. You are curious about the world and seek answers. You keep an open mind yet you have strong ideas and you stand by them. You are not afraid to admit when you are wrong and reflect well upon your mistakes. Your perseverance through times of struggle and frustration will carry you far. This has been a tough year but you are showing great resilience, taking initiative to go for runs and cook dinner for the family and working hard in school. We love you so much!

I am so very proud of you. Last year you started a new school, then finished the year with distance learning to only start your 8th grade year again with distance learning. I am proud of your hard work, you stepped up your organizing skills and are doing well under all these new world circumstances. You will have a life story for the rest of your life. I know you will be returning to school soon and that will be another adjustment but I know you can do. You are smart, kind, creative, and respectful to your teachers. Keep up the good work and always remember to smile and laugh. Love Mom

You inspire us with your positive outlook, your focus and your commitment to always doing your best. We are proud of how you have taken on each new day and each new assignment with energy, enthusiasm and always a great sense of humor. And we are most proud of how you have managed new challenges. Keep it up and know that we love you and support you.
Love, Mom and Dad

We are very proud of you for being organized, responsible, and resilient.  You are managing this difficult time amazingly well. We are glad that you are focused on learning and staying active. We enjoy extra time we get to spend with you at home. You will be able to see all your friends in person soon.
Love - Mom & Dad

You make us proud every day! You are very talented and know that talent takes hard work. We love your imagination and artistic eye. The way you see the world is beautiful. You have a terrific sense of humor and are comfortable being yourself. That is an important lesson to learn. You have a love for learning. Now you just need to find that love for a distance learning experience. 8th grade started out rough, but you are going with the flow and being optimistic about returning to school. We know this wasn't what you looked forward to for your last year at St Lucy's. For the rest of your life you will be a part of history. Someday your grandchildren will interview you to learn about the pandemic of 2020 just like you will interview Grandma about her grandfather and the building of the Panama Canal. We love you, Holly.
Love you most,
Mom and Dad

We know this year is not like you'd hoped or planned, but you have taken it in stride.  It is great watching you engage with your classes, even when it is through a screen.  We are are so proud of how you work so hard to keep organized and keep a smile on your face.  Always remember how much we love you and can't wait to see what the next years bring to you! We will be selfish and say, having all of us home, all the time has been great - the chats, the laughs, the movies, the boys with floppy hair - we are cherishing it all.  Hope you are too :)
Love you, Bunchems!
Mom and Bryan

Who knew you would be at the top of your school sitting in your room? Even though you are not able to be at school, you have a great learning attitude and are present in class each day. We love the fun you bring to our at home learning environment. Ripsticking during recess thru the hallway and snacking while interacting with our family show us your great ability to multitask. You are awesome at whatever you put your mind to. You have a gift so we hope you use it to your full potential always. Thanks for making us proud. We love you Lukie Pooks!
Your embarrassing Mom and Dad.

We are very proud of who you are and what you are becoming. We could not ask for a better daughter in every aspect. You work hard at everything you set your mind to and never cease to surprising us. We are especially proud of how well you have been at taking distance learning, not complaining and working with us on the schedule and the internet problems. You are going to be quite the adult and we cannot wait to see how much you grow this year! We are extremely proud of you today and always.

Love, Mom and Dad
