I’m so sorry for her loss. I cannot even imagine. I don’t have the ingredients tonight but I will be running to the store tomorrow for them. And tonight, when he gets home from work he’ll be getting a big hug. Along with all of my other loved ones I see this week, and the next… and the next…

Such a sad story. My godmother made this pie tonight as well. We shared a big hug when I came home from work.

My pie is made and is sitting in the fridge to be eaten tomorrow. I’ve just published my post.
My heart is very, very heavy for Jennifer and her girls.
No explanations, just an emptiness and many, many tears.
Thank you, Jessica.

Having just gotten married less than 3 weeks ago, I feel deeply for Jennie. I absolutely can’t imagine my life without my guy. And, he loves everything peanut butter too. I will make this pie this weekend in memory of Mikey. Praying for Jennie and her family.

This is my hubbys favorite too & I will def make it this wknd in memory of her husband. It’s a very nice & supportive thing you’ve done by posting this. I don’t know what its like to lose a husband but I’ve lost a daughter. I know how it feels to lose someone so a part of you. Any support from anyone makes it seem like maybe we aren’t so alone in our sorrow. I will be praying for her family, that they will know there is a light at the end of the long dark bumpy ride through the darkest of tunnels

I am so sorry for her loss and I hope one day soon she can start to feel like herself again. I will be sure to make this pie. You are so kind to post this for a friend.

when I found out about her loss I felt so powerless. we never know what the next second might bring.
I’ve made earlier today some peanut butter treats and shared with my family and neighbors.

So very very sad…..
But very very SWEET of everyone to make this in his memory.

I was upset with my husband for most of the day yesterday. After reading this, I woke him up at 2am to apologize and let him know he’s important. Thanks for reminding me. My heart goes out to Jennie and everyone else that knew Mikey.

After I lost my mom (the closest person to me) the thought that got me through the worst was how fortunate I had been to have the sort of relationship with her that would hurt so much to lose. I hope that with time Jennie can think of him again and be happy.
