SURE DO MISS YOU MOM! I LOVE YOU

I saw this guy on the pavement and thought about you mom. Something about dragonflies and hummingbirds. It was just our thing. I see them all of the time and they are constant reminders of your love. Thank you for being so much to all of us in our lives. I was blessed to have the time that I did with you. I love you and miss you like crazy. Xoxoxo

We had this built for Ilene but still have got the accessories...

Funny, I never told Ilene how many stairs. On our way to have dinner with Steve & Joyce.

Dinner with my brother Dean and family. This was October 8th, the night before the lung surgery.

Either that car is really big or you're a little bitty thing. You're like cute little fairly size :)

The best Sushi. Ilene loved this place in Malibu.  

Hey little girl, did someone lick the red off your candy?

We started riding in 2007 as a means for me to stop working and enjoy life with my sweetie. We spent many year and 10's of thousands of miles traveling the U.S.A., Europe, and New Zealand. Every Year we did a 5,000 to 7,000 mile trip. Some of those miles were really hard but all where filled with wonderful memories. Honey, i miss you and all the adventures we did together. God rest your sole in peace. I miss you pumkin pie.

We love hearing the peacocks in the early morning and evening. Sometimes we would take a little ride to see them.

Mom, I wanted to share with everyone here unfamiliar with your booties that you'd wear on your feet. You had an obsession with these and always had new ones you'd wear. One year in particular I can recall there being a long strand hanging off one. You were notorious and meticulous for things like that being just right. So as the story went you had decided after several pulls of the strand and being unsuccessful. You decided it would be best to burn that sucker off.... out came the lighter. I gave you the signal to go for It! Next thing we know your entire bootie engulfed in a burst of fire.... While awesome and almost magician like. It was something out of nightmare (hahahaha). No harm, no foul was made of this day!

Mom, you were always good for a quick laugh and a good time.... I miss you so much. I love you xoxoxoxo

  Every summer break that we got off of from school jillyan chase and i were always looking foward to flying out to cali just to see nana and papa.  Nana would always compliment how adorable us kids were,  or even how big we've gotten.  Nana was a very loving caring person who always kept us coming back to cali.  One of my favourite memories of her was when she'd fly out here and spend whether it was christmas or thanksgiving with us. It made me realize that i was very thankful to have a grandmother like her and how small life can be.  My favourite memories were just spending time with her and her caring heart,  jesus and god are very lucky to have a beautiful woman like her with them in heaven.  I just ask of them to take very good Care of her,  only once will you see earth have a woman like nana.  I just hope that she'll be proud of me whether its in school or sports or even just life.  We love you nana. I i know that you are safe with jesus and god.  Until we meet again stay safe and stay the same woman that you were here.  

Couple of years ago, me, chase and karli were sitting in the back of the PT cruiser, when nana sat in the car, she tried to adjust the seat, so instead of pulling the seat forward, she fell all the way back towards our knees, and started cussing like a sailor.
