Welcome to the Sweet Pea Foundation

November is the month to remember those who have died. It is a time to give thanks to those who have gone before us and to pray that one day we will be able to join them in heaven. 

It is with sad and heavy hearts that we are remembering another family member this month. Our Mother, and Grace’s Grandmother, Pat Power passed away in late September at Memorial Hospital in South Bend. Pat devoted herself to her children and grandchildren and was an amazing wife to our Dad, Steve. They were married for 66 years and together they had seven children, 21 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Family was the joy of her life. 

Shortly after Grace’s passing, the Sweet Pea Foundation was established, and Mom became our number one volunteer. She and my Dad would tag toys, assemble Hugs and help us label, stamp and stuff fundraising envelopes. On many occasions they would also deliver Hugs to the hospitals for us. 

I know in my heart that Mom and Grace are together once again, looking down on us from heaven. 

This November let us pray for all 

deceased members of our families and all of the wonderful doctors, nurses and medical staff that have gone before us. 

With gratitude,

          Pete & Suzanne Letherman
