"I MADE IT HOME"
I just wanted to let you know that I made it home.
Everything is so pretty here, so white, so fresh, so new.
I wish that you could close your eyes so you could see it too.
Please try not to be sad for me. Try to understand.
God is taking care of me..I'm in the shelter of His hands.
Here there is no sadness, and no sorrow, and no pain.
Here there is no crying, and I'll never hurt again.
Here it is so peaceful, when all the angels sing.
I really have to go for now....I've just got to try my wings!
PS ...,I'll be the first face you see when you get here!

Happy happy birthday Mom! - I miss you so much. - it's funny, I still catch myself thinking "oh, I'll just call mom and...." then I remember. - Life was too short; we needed to do our annual Sunriver trip and cross country ski or snowshoe, for your birthday! - - And, now Becky's getting married, I know you'll be there in memory and spirit. -- I've kept up with the site, brought a flower basket, fern and baby deer today. The Christmas wreath was/is still healthy so I kept it there. It all looks so pretty. - Happy birthday Mom, I miss you so much.

oh Carol ... from a very early age of 5 I have known you. You and mom became co-brownie leaders and from that time on our family and yours was and is intermingled. So many sleep overs and you and mom sitting in the camper at Trillium lake while Donald Donna, bonnie and I played all week for so many summers.
I will never forget our missionary trip together in Uganda in 2005. You were so loved by the people. Your gentleness and love for them shined from you. I will never forget the time we were all praying for people. a demon possessed woman came to you and as you started praying she started growing. you looked at me and then mom. we were praying for others so just keep on then I heard you say Every demon in hell get out NOW in Jesus name!! the demon left and she was free. I still smile thinking about that !!
You and my momma are together now and you can both smile knowing you both left your kids a legacy of GOD. You showed us how to pray, and intercede and spend a life of seeking God. There is nothing better that you left us.
We will all see you again and that will be a glorious day. We know where to look...... just listen for then follow the African drum music
Love, Julie

I love you and will miss you until I see you again. By the way,, I know you carried me around clear lake when I was a 2 year old, . so I walked around the whole lake and lade a rose down every mile around the lake to symbolize me carrying you around clear lake. you are dear to my heart and were the best grandma I ever had. love you forever your grand son Chris..

Mom, you were my closest friend and best mother in the world. I miss picking up the phone to call you for advice, to vent, to share, to listen to your wise comments and suggestions. ---I have your bible and have been reading all of the scriptures you have highlighted since I know they impacted your life, and I cherish as a guide to my life. I will see you again Mom, and until then, I will continue to honor you and do my best, hoping God will use me in a great way to impact lives and bring joy, hope, and happiness to those in need. Love always and forever, your daughter, Donna.

She loved riding the back of her friends motorcycle. So much so she bought herself a Honda scooter.

The cruise my parents went on in the 80's.

Little Miss Photographer; working on her beautiful photo gallery.

Preparing to snowshoe Mt. Bachelor in January, 2015.

She loved to cross-country ski. I took a vacation day from work to join her around Trillium Lake; after completing it and her asking how I liked it, all I could say was "if I knew it was going to be so much work I wouldn't have considered it a vacation!"

Doing what we loved most, shopping at Hen's Tooth in Sisters Oregon!

During my parents cruise in the 80's.

After coming home from school, I often heard my mom in her bedroom, and see her on her knees, praying for our family. What faith she had and I am so grateful for.

Her new pup, "Angel".
