1) Maelee's burial service will be at 11:00 a.m. It will probably be about 30 minutes. You are welcome to bring your kids to the cemetery if you want. If you'd rather them not be at the cemetery, we are also trying to get a few people to volunteer to take care of the kids at the elementary school park or at the community center during the service. If you want to volunteer to do that, please let us know. We also have a coloring project for all the kids - Maelee's name printed on pink paper that they can color (we'll add them to her scrapbook).
2) I'm guessing everyone knows how to get to Buffalo. Directions to the cemetery are really easy too... there's one main street in Buffalo. (I think it's actually called Main Street.) The cemetery is on the far east end of town off main street.
3) The reception will follow at the Buffalo Community Center. That's also on main street. We will have plenty of food so come hungry.
4) Greg would like to get some basketball going about 2 p.m. for whoever is interested. If we have a lot of people, then maybe we can play football instead. So, those who want to play, bring some basketball/football shoes and shorts. The weather is looking to be pretty nice and warm.
5) Again, feel free to wear whatever you'd like. Greg's wearing jeans. I'm wearing a dress.
6) We don't have a sound system so it may be a bit hard to hear everything. We've printed the scriptures and the song lyrics so hopefully that will help.
7) You are welcome to hang out as long as you want in Buffalo with us. We are really looking forward to seeing all of you who are coming. For our "guest book" everyone gets to sign a piece of fabric that will be made into a quilt eventually.
8) With area code (803), call Heather 394.0918 or Greg 394.1636 if you have questions.

I wish I could be there with you guys. I'm praying for you all and will observe a moment of silence in Maelee's honor Saturday.
Love you three. Travel safe. I'm praying.

Been thinking and praying for you both this morning! Continuing to pray for you this weekend, too.

Wish we could be there for Maelee's day. We are here praying for you from a distance. Maelee's day will bring glory to our Lord.
We love you,

Amusing Story....I've been trying to text Greg periodically to let you both know Steph and I have been thinking, praying, and grieving with you through this process. They were the kind of texts you've been receiving from everyone under the sun i'm sure...however i've been texting to Greg's old ND number, so I am sure someone has been getting these Sad, Loving, Caring, Encouraging texts and wondering whats going on! lol, praying Christ's love permeates those "lost" text messages and that Maelee's legacy continues to be passed!
Love and Grace,
Brad & Steph Johnson
Thinking about you guys and hope that your trip up wasn't stressful. Just wanted you to know your SC friends are sending their love and remembering Maelee, too. A little basketball/football sounds like a lot of fun! I'm praying that you feel "full" from God's love and all the love and support of your family and friends you'll have around you. Maelee is a special girl for bringing so many people together!
Much love,
Ami
