Clara Judith Sherwood

Today was the first anniversary of Jake's passing. Both Krystal and I have been anticipating this day since before the holiday's. We were not sure how we would react to the emotions. Our dear friend Bob Miller approached me with an idea to mark the "anniversary" in a positive fashion and after discussing it with him, we decided to put the plan into action without telling Krystal.
Bob previously purchased a granite paver for Jacob and received permission to place it in the patio of Clemson University Outdoor Laboratory (CUOL) overlooking Lake Hartwell. CUOL has always held a special place in our hearts since our employment there during our college days. It has some of the most scenic views in all of Clemson and has very special staff that do great thing for kid and adult groups. Bob and I exchanged some emails with Charlie White, Lab Director and finalized the plan.

Today we (Krystal, Clara, Bob, and I) headed to CUOL with a Bald Cypress tree to plant. When we arrived Charlie and his staff welcomed us and we surveyed the tree planting site then showed Krystal & I Jacob's stone

Charlie and his staff prepared a small reception for us after we planted the tree, it gave everybody a chance to get caught up and enjoy Clara. We are planning to plant more tree's at the CUOL in the near future in Jacob's memory.

Krystal and I want to thank Bob Miller, Charlie White, and the staff of the CUOL for making this a very positive day remembering Jacob. Thanks to Auntie Judy attending the event and the moral support.

I think Clara just might like Auntie Judy?
