I have been thinking of you often, wanted to come here to help with that. I now see the joy in your life through your pictures; rather than only sadness at what is lost, what will never be, words we can never share. -- I feel the joy of you to balance the sadness that can never be diminished. Hope you know.

Please enter the following for me. Love and appreciate you.

Note from Holi,
I am happy to do so however I am late in adding this as I had not had time to get to my email over the busy weekend. ... this was to be added
August 21st. Happy belated Birthday to my wonderful Uncle Larry. The following is your note...

Dear daddy's girl,

Your daddy forgot August 20th was his 75th birth day. Early morning he helped in the flower garden then spent the remainder of the morning in quiet inner reflection. Late afternoon as he looked through family albums we noticed a huge flock of Terns in the bright, blue sky. We watched them swirl overhead for several minutes before moving on in a southerly direction. Early evening he received telephone calls and looked though greeting cards again; two were from a collection of cards you sent past years – a birthday card and a thinking of you card.
He is grateful for the gift of life and for his awesome parents, grandparents, families and thinks about them often. They had a role in helping him become the good and kind gentlemen he is. Wish you were here. We miss you, love.

Daddy and mommy

I'M FREE by LJJ 
                      
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free                               
I'm following the path God laid for me.                             
I took His hand when I heard Him call;                              
I turned my back and left it all.                                   
I could not stay another day,                                     
To laugh, to love, to work or play.                                  
Tasks left undone must stay that way;                            
I found that place at the close of day.                                
If my parting has left a void,                                    
Then fill it with remembered joy                                    
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss;                               
Oh yes, these things, I too will miss.                              
Be not burdened with times of sorrow                             
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I've savored much;                             
Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.                     
Perhaps my time seems all too brief;                              
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.                            
Lift up your heart and share with me                                 
God wanted me now, He Set Me Free.

A TRIBUTE TO DEE written by her mother

I’ve been asked to share recollections I have of Dee and am honored to do so. It is fitting to pay tribute to someone so deserving, loving, kind, considerate and tolerant. Death came in the middle of the season of her life when we could have hoped for many more years of her sweet presence amongst us. Time will cool the anger of losing her in such a cruel and sudden way, and it will soften the intense sadness of missing her so. 

Danette R. Kiel born 50 years ago on February 9, 1963. Having her in our lives was a joy. We loved her then and we love her still. She was a quiet happy child and easy to live with. Devoted to family she liked planning and attending family reunions.  She was especially fond of her grandmothers, Doris and Dolly. Throughout most of her childhood she enjoyed the solitude of country living and the beauty of nature. She gave pets plenty of TLC and helped with the chickens, turkeys, ducks, and sheep. 

She strived for excellence in all aspects of her life. Teachers liked her for her pleasant personality and self discipline. She maintained her grades as an “A” student 1-12. She had many interests i.e. was musically inclined pursued piano and guitar lessons and played the violin in the school orchestra, was artistic and creative, painted both nature and abstract art with acrylics, sewed some of her clothing,  She wasn’t interested in sports but did enjoy fishing, boating and playing billiards with her daddy and brother, Danny.

In high school she was a part-time employee in the activity department for a local nursing facility and volunteered visiting patients who didn’t have family and stayed with them during their last moments. After leaving college, she was one of the Sesame team in the Twin Cities until offered a senior engineer position at Disney World in Orlando Florida.  She designed decorations for the Christmas tree each year which was one of her favorite tasks. She made family members happy giving them free passes.  She stayed with that company until poor health forced early retirement.

She loved the warm, sunny Florida weather and found the beach enticing. She enjoyed walks along the shore watching the waves burst into whitecaps, the twilight and sunsets. Perhaps she was too delicately unaggressive but her benevolence was incessant. She watched for opportunities to help others. She was the Neighborhood Watch and helped care for elderly neighbors, Sara and Skip. She took in and cared for rescued cats, fed backyard birds and other wild creatures that wandered in. She telephoned us regularly to ask if everything was ok. Her death and her daddy’s birthday occurred in the same week. She called the day before the family get together to celebrate his birth and the birth of his sister and younger brother – all born in the same month. Her last words were “I will call Thursday to get the details of your birthday and 
I love You”.  I didn’t notice on the telephone display until Friday she had called and it was too late then to return her call. Gone too soon. Forever missed.

She was a noble daughter, loyal friend, supportive wife, loving mother, and kind grandmother Her dear body has passed from our sight but within our hearts she rests enshrined. She lives forever.  To believers death is not a blind alley leading into a state of nothingness. It’s a path leading us into life eternal. Let this daring faith be your sustaining power

Dear Granddaughter
I have to tell you about the gold strands you sent me.
I fastened them together and placed them on the Christmas Tree. 
No one believes me when I tell them what happened there.
It did give me something of a scare! 

I have no lights on this tree you see
Yet there were white, yellow, and green 
one night shinning from the tree.

Is there something magic in these strands of gold?
Someone up there is trying to tell me something
I’ve been told.                            Grandma Dolly

"Once upon a time an angel held my hand,
she wiped away my tears and helped me understand.
Our time on earth is brief, there are lessons to be learned,
each chapter is full of memories, yet another page is turned.
Thank you God for sharing your priceless treasure,
Help us Lord to keep alive her memory forever.
Faith is what we hope for in the things we cannot see,
Heaven is promised to all of us when we believe."

In Loving Memory of my cousin Dee.

Your life/death reminds us and teaches us that we need to look to tomorrow and believe in better things; believe in the unknown. We need to reach out, receive help and most important to ACCEPT help, and KNOW it is not a weakness to do so. We have to trust the ones that love us. To listen and to allow ourselves to be rescued is ok. We can make a better day tomorrow if we do.

The snake Picture!

October 15, 2013

I know you loved that picture of yourself with the snake.  When I opened the envelope from you and found that picture I was so shocked!!  How brave of you! The next time we spoke you laughed at me and assured me it was well fed!
Not only did I add that picture here but made it your main picture.  I also added it to your other website. I  know you will be pleased I shared that one with everyone!

I wish we could have stayed connected over the years.  I am so sorry for your pain and the more I learn of your life the more I somehow do understand.  I still have SO many questions that only you can answer, therefore will remain unanswered for now; at the same time so many are being answered learning about your life. 

Summer Fun

October 8, 2013

Loved our Swimming in the summer and our visits.  I remember feeding the lambs bottles together. I loved the exploring and our walks and talks on the trails.  That pig farm tour was interesting huh?  All fun though.  Loved to watch you torture my brother, and get away with it.  :-) 

A note to Dee...

October 8, 2013

I know you feel the love and hear the prayers we all send to you daily. We pray for your peace and we stumble along trying to find our own. It is so hard for the living. We have so little understanding. 

You were loved by all that knew you. I wish we each could have found the time to reconnect in our busy lives before you had to pass on to the next pane. I will see you again when it is my time and know you will be there waiting. Until them you are our family’s guardian angel unencumbered by this earthly plane and able to see all and know all. You are still helping, loving and caring others for eternity. 
Thank you my dear cousin for watching over us all!
