Years pass so quickly. So much has changed since your death. But your daughter Kim has been such a support through it all. I’m blessed as she’s the only one that’s been here for me. We no longer own any farm now. It eats at my core and know it does yours.
Watch over me please dear brother! I ask God daily to guide me in all I think and do.
Love and miss you. Vicky

My dearest brother, Chad Riddle, would have been 71 today. He was snuffed from our lives 3 1/2 years ago. I have these beautiful chimes that seem to ring out at times I wish he was here to advise me on which road to take. I find comfort in their sound and smile. Chad very rarely got angry. He was a gentle soul to all who knew him. As children he and I played outside moreso than our sister. A special bond was created that would last a lifetime. As time passes, I miss Chad that much more, missing his laughter he would start with a light chuckle then go full throttle. Reminded me of how a tractor starts. Lol. Will we laugh again together in Heaven I wonder? Will you disapprove of what I’m doing to make a person in our lives finally pay for the deceit and lies? Chad, please ask Jesus to guide my steps, my decisions, and the outcome. How I loved and admired you, and do to this day. Gods speed.

So many decisions to make, especially with mother; how I wish you were still here to help me! Just remembering you this very special time, brings sadness to mom , and to be. Soon our mother will join you with Jesus!! That will be a glorious day for her as she Kong’s to be with you!
The love continues as your being forever from us on our journey in this life. Miss you so very much my dearest brother..

Today is my brother Chads birthday. Our hearts are still heavy from his death. Vietnam was the cause of his death. He never stopped having nightmares! He contacted Agent Orange and non Hodgkin lymphoma showed in his late 30s. A blood transfusion at KU then gave him Hep C. He was a fighter, even down to his death until he had given all he had to give. He is our Hero.
Sadly, our 89 yr old mother has dementia and has no clue it's the day he was born. I want to remind her but her sadness returns. We shall spend the day reminiscing about his life and thanking God for the time we had.

My brother was one to listen then share his thoughts. He told you like it was, I admired him for that. He carried a heavy burden but never stopped trying to live life and share its meaning. I miss him and hope he's around me this Christmas season!!
