In Memory of Julianna Rosealinda DeSena and Henry Osborne

Julianna Rosealinda DeSena lived a short life. She came to this world with all the hopes and blessings that a grandparent could envision. Unfortunately she was called to heaven very early and we are still left with her memory. Some of the dreams that I had, as her grandfather, were to have her catch her first fish right here at Beaver's Pond Retreat. She could have learned about hot dogs, and baby ducks, and all sorts of creatures that visit here and are the real joy of spending time here. In her memory, it is hoped that Julianna's Cottage will bring families together for fond memories and experiences. That many little girls and boys will have the opportunity to see and experience the joys of Beaver's Pond Retreat and maybe spend some time with their grandparents too.

As new owners to Beaver's Pond Retreat, we felt this dedication to Julianna should be left on the website to honor all children that have gone to be with the Lord.  When we were blessed with being able to purchase this beautiful property we knew it would not only be a special place that would be used to refresh families in the Holy Spirit but also to bring our own grandchildren to someday that the Lord would be blessing us with.

Thank you Jesus for all our wonderful grandchildren.  May you keep them in the palm of your hand and raise them up to the standards of your word and your eternal kingdom.

We thank you for:

Joshua, Emma, Gracie, Ethan,

Cristian, Savannah:

Amara, Olivia and

And our little Henry who in early 2010 went to be in God's Nursery with Little Julianna.
