A post from Chelsea

Hello everyone,

It is hard to believe that it has been 6 months since Patt went to be with the Lord. This weekend, I encourage and challenge all of you to visit the tree that Allison has planted in memory of her mother. The beautiful oak tree was planted after Patt passed on the land that The Fellowship of Plum Creek purchased to build their first church. This church was very special to Patt and Allison ~ it is where I watched Patt fall in love with the Lord, where I saw Allison baptized, and where I always saw a smile on Patt's face throughout my years of attendance.

The tree is located in Kyle, TX on FM 2770 (Jack C Hays Trail) behind the Harrell Funeral Home. When you pull in the funeral home, the tree is back and to the left near the curb. There are pictures and rocks around the tree - and for this weekend only, there will be a box set up for you to share your thoughts.
Allison has been coping, grieving, and celebrating her mom's life through the strength of our loving Lord and through the encouragment and stories from those who loved Patt. I challenge each of you to stop by the tree this weekend. Feel free to bring flowers, pictures, a letter, or just yourself! You may find great peace by visiting Patt's tree, as Allison finds peace there often. I check on the tree and water it weekly and I have seen many people sitting by the tree reflecting on memories with Patt, and I have also seen families at the funeral home praying around the tree. It is amazing that Patt is bringing peace and comfort to everyone through this beautiful creation!! I will be picking up the box on Monday night and giving everything to Allison. If you live out of town or can't make it by, please reply to this email with encouragement for Allison or maybe a funny story about her mom...I'll be sure it makes its way into the box for Allison.

It has been such a blessing to watch Allison as she has grown over the last 14 years with Patt's diagnosis' and battle with cancer. Patt definitely raised an amazing daughter! Allison is glorifying the Lord and honoring her mother with the creation of this non-profit organization!! I encourage everyone to send in recipes for the cookbook :) Feel free to leave recipes at the tree this weekend or email them to back to us at pattsdream@gmail.com. You can also stay updated on the non-profit by reading becoming a follower of this blog @ http://pattsdream.blogspot.com/.

Thank you for your constant love and support for Allison. I am honored to have her as my best friend and I have seen the impact that all your kind words have had on her. We all know that Patt would be very proud of the young woman she is today ~ and she would be absolutely beaming that Allison is living out HER dream of helping women and children with cancer.

Thank you for being a part of Allison's life as she continues to do great things to honor her mother!!

With Love,
Chelsea Bordovsky

Where did the last 6 months go?!

Wow...I can't believe it has been 6 months on Monday (July 27th).

I was hoping to get the cookbook ordered by June 15th, but with my internship this summer I have not been able to get it done. I am also needing about 100 more recipes to put in it before it can published! This is where I need help...if you have any family/friend recipes, I need them :)

You can email them to me at: pattsdream@gmail.com

I am going to try to get all the recipes collected and the cookbook ordered sometime in August so they will be ready for the holidays. I think they will make great gifts for people!

I also know that I'm not the only one still grieving my mom so I want to encourage all of you to go visit the tree, especially on Monday. It's a great way to sit and pray, think, and remember her. It's my favorite spot in the world now! :)

We will be setting a box out at the tree for people to put letter's in over the weekend. Feel free to express yourself that way too. 

Love you guys,

Allison
