Time passes but one always remembers

Thinking about my baby boy today, and just thinking about all the other children battling this horrible disease on this day, may God be with them and strengthen them today and always!
I love you baby boy!

Deja Brew Coffee House Supports Relay for Life®
Ever since it opened last December in the Gainesville Square shopping center, Deja Brew Coffee House has made quite a stir on many levels!

Owner Dionne Sayin is spearheading shop efforts to support a Fauquier Relay for Life® team. Named in honor of Matthew Costis, a Fauquier County nine-year-old who has been bravely fighting a brain tumor for more than a year, Team Costis will participate in the Fauquier Relay for Life® on May 30-31.

In addition to supplying the team with relay shirts,

Deja Brew is hosting a fundraiser on May 16. Stop by the shop for a hand-pulled espresso drink and a homemade pastry, or if the weather is warm, enjoy a 100% crushed fruit smoothie. Ten percent of all sales that day (Deja Brew will be open from 7:00 a.m.-10:00 p.m.) will be donated to Team Costis.

To donate to Team Costis, visit http://main.acsevents.org/goto/teamcostis. The Costis family is also grateful for donations to assist with costs related to Matthew’s treatment. For more information, visit http://www.matthewcostis.org/.

Matthew's Smile Never Goes!

Despite the new challenges Matthew faces, his smile never fades. Weather its a smile in his eyes, heart or face, he just keeps smiling. Though getting around and getting comfy is difficult these days, Matthew's desire to keep on going doesn't fade.

Your continued thoughts and prayer is greatly appreciated!
