Tributes
Leave a tributeI miss you Uncle Don - like to think you are up there with my Dad watching still.
I still remember every second of this day that year. Such a sad
time for all of us. Have a wonderful Christmas singing with the
angels. Wish I could be with you. Love you forever.

Rick's birthday - January 5th
Remember when Rick was born and the first day you brought him an ice fishing pole? We sure had a lot of good fishing times...both ice fishing and on the pontoon. You caught a tree one afternoon and it took us forever to cut you loose. I believe you were showing us all the "proper way to cast." :)
Last words
My dad's last words to me were "I love you, Joey. I have always loved you, and I will always love you." It doesn't get any better than that.
Easter Sunday
One of my favorite stories took place on an Easter Sunday. I was probably about 13-14 years old. I was being "sassy" (hard to believe!) while we were on our way home from church. I was dressed in high heels, a skirt, and pantyhose. Dad said if I didn't "knock it off" he would put me right in the snowbank (which was about 5' deep). I said something like "Oh, whatever!" and found myself right in the snowbank, dress, heels, and all! My dad thought that was so funny. I have to admit that I did, too. :)
