Alida

We have decided on a middle name. Our little Claire will be Claire Alida Herrman named after her Great Grandmother Hazel Alida who very sadly and peacefully passed away last week.


An excerpt from her memorial service: Every blade in the field, Every leaf in the forest, Lays down its life in its season, As beautifully as it was taken up. ~ Thoreau.

We only wish these two special ladies in our life could have met..

I love the middle name - it's perfect! Can't wait to meet her!

Auntie Shel is soooo happy about that middle name and all it represents.

Cousin James' middle name is "Alden," after great-grandpa Alden Dunnum, so both cousins have part of their Dunnum great-grandparents' names...

A beautiful gesture, Jennifer Chris...
