I just thought I would check in with you here to let you know I am thinking of you and I know others are stopping in but don't light a candle. At least they are paying their respects. I know I will be seeing you soon. I drank your favorite wine in your favorite wine glass Christmas Night. Made me feel good. Love sis

Christmas is just the day after tomorrow, It snuck up on me as you know it always has in the past. I am missing you more than words will ever be able to say. I will write to you more tomorrow. I love you Sis
I am missing you with all my heart. Right now emotions are running high, It's our first Christmas without you and it really hurts. I know we will get through it. We have always been a strong family. I love you always, Sis
Missing you very much. With all my love Sis
Missing you is suppose to get easier, but that really isn't the case. Tonight I am remebering how you tried to always teach us the meanings of words. Like ambidextris and antidisistablishmentarianism. I know they are spelled wrong, but you know what I mean. Anyway I hope to see you in my dreams. I love you with all my heart. Love Sis.
Nothing to say this time except just sitting here thinking about you. We had a nice Thanksgiving at mom's house on Thanksgiving. Just wasn't the same without you. :-( Until next time. Love Sis
Nothing much has changed since I lit my last candle. I just want to let you know you are being thought of today and everyday. Love you Sis.
Today I am missing you in the way that I would at times bring your great grandson to see you. You just loved seeing your grandkids. They were all special to you. Right now Blake is in his highchair eating french toast I fixed for him. He stayed the night with Tom and I lastnight. We are always missing you. Love Always, Sis
Just me again. I thought I would let you know I am remembering the times I was able to ride with you in the water truck, and that I think of you at least a zillion times a day. Always in my heart and on my mind. Love You Forever Sis.
In my heart, you are sitting next to me drinking coffee, we are chatting about all the fishing trips, camping trips, and wood gathering trips we took together. Precous times. Love You Always, Sis.
Thinking of you today and everyday. Love you forever and ever and ever, Love sis
I brought you a photo of a beautiful flower garden, the kind I envision you walking threw in heaven. The kind that is perfect in every way. With all your favorite colors and beautiful smells. Love You Forever Sis.
I have been dreaming about you. :-) and remembering certain gestures you would make, and certain things you would say, and how you would greet me as I came over. All things that let me know you loved me greatly.
yes, I'm still missing you each day, some days are harder than others, but they are all still really hard. I remember your precious smile though, and your humor, then it puts a smile on my face too. :-) I so hope you are ok
I don't understand why it's getting harder as days go on to let you go? Love Sis
I want so bad to wake up from this very sad dream that you are gone to heaven. I never knew it would hurt this much. :-( I think of you always, and love you with all my heart. Sis
I just want you to know you are still being thought of and missed with all my heart. Yesterday was fathers day, it was very hard with you not here anymore. I was very sad. Love always, Sis
Today was your memorial, and I love and miss you with all my heart. Love always, Sis.
The day before you passed away you said you had so many things to get done. I asked what was the most important, you said your garden. I am going to keep my word and make sure your garden be planted. Stan is helping Love Sis
I will love and miss you each day of my life, that is my promise to you. I have looked up to you from the time I was born, you were my teacher and did so until your last breath. You're in heaven now, rest in peace. Love sis,

DAD'S LOVING LESSONS :-)
When I was 18 years old I was in the second semester of my Junior year of high school. A couple friends stopped by and told me they were going to go to Alaska to work as fishermen on a commercial fishinng vessel. I wanted so bad to go but going would mean dropping out of school and retaking that semester of school. I asked Mom if it would be OK. After much convincing, well OK badgering, she told me to ask Dad. I'm pretty sure Mom thought Dad would say no and that would put an end to it. Though Mom did help me to find the right time and way to ask Dad. She said the trick is to ask him at work. So after a bit of procrastination I called Dad at the Envirosafe Security station as soon as I summoned up the courage to ask. To my amazement Dad said yes BUT with one condition. I had to agree to finish school when I returned. I gladley accepted the condition and went on to have a great time and made many memories I cherish to this day. I did finish school. And went to Alaska as a fishermen several times after. However this was my first forray into adultthood. And though I may not have recognized it at the time I certainly can see now the amount of trust and letting go it must have taken to allow me to take such a big step allowing me to go on just my word alone that I would finish school. It was on that first vessel, Thhe All Alaskan, I found the lessons I had learned from Dad to be true. For instance when I was working with the electrical crew as a temp while they were rewiring much of the ship due to a fire. I was kept on their crew the longest of all the temps because I did what the boss asked and in the way he wanted it done. As my Boss, and Dad before hiim, had said if you do it the way your boss said and its wrong then it's his fault and and not much he can do. But if you do it another way and it's wrong then it IS your fault and you don't have a leg to stand on. This point was proven when 2 electricians had screwed up a wiring job. The Boss specifically said to use 2 breakers for the lights in a room. The 2 of them decided they could do it wih one. But when they had to work on the lights in that room again and had to use flashlights, the Bosses wisdom became apparent. Had they received the same sound advice I had from Dad they would have followed the Boss's directions and been able to keep one circuit while working on the other. This lesson has served me well on many jobs throughout my life. I'm greatfulto you Dad Thank's Pops
In Your Memory Dad :-)
Hi Dad, We took you with us when we went mushroom picking. We grabbed your thermos and filled it with the water from the wattering hole in Sweet. We thought of you the entire time you were with us in spirit. So we took a photo of the mushrooms with your thermos and tge flowers we picked on the mountain side, to show you we were thinking of you as we do everyday, but this time was in rememberance of Memorial Day. You were a Vet so I thank you for your service. I didn't get to be on this memorial page on Memorial Day weekend so I am doing this a bit late, but love you and think of you all the time. Love Forever Sis
Hi Dad, I am giving you these flowers because as you know today is my Birthday and you would always call on my special day to say Happy Birthday. I am so missing that. So I thought I would sit here and think of fond memories I have so you are with me in spirit today. The thing I have been thinking of lately is that you and the rest of our family would watch Little House On The Prairie. We would wait all week until the final day. We would also watch Mash in the same way. So I thought I would find a photo of wild flowers that reminded me of the ones on the show to share with you today. I love you Dad.
