Madeline thanked all the “amazing” people who helped throw the shower and also raved that her husband “would have loved” all the balloons.
“The way you were able to tie in my husband brought instant tears when I walked in,” she gushed. “All my friends and family, nothing will bring his dad back or uncle john, but I am glad he has so many amazing people around him to remind him how amazing they were 💙.”
Guests enjoyed custom cookies that were shaped as moons, clouds and gold stars. The sweet treats were decorated to the match the theme, with phrases like “Heaven Sent” and some with Tripp’s moniker.
