Tributes
Leave a tributeColton is the loving and caring boy that takes just after you.. He struggles on school but it's so smart, kinda like me:)
Jase is such a character! You would love his goofy voices and happy dances! He's a little artist and loves to draw!! A huge imagination!!!
Mom, I love you. Mom, I miss you.. and I don't know how I'm going to go the rest of my life without you.. I'm sorry I couldn't express this while you were of this early plane, but I pray to God everyday that one day we can be reunited to play UNO in the attic, to play Clue at the kitchen table on Christmas break, and maybe, just maybe you could be there for the birth of all your grandsons... Until then Mom, forever rest in peace amongst Jesus our Savior and tell everyone hi.
So look to the stars for she is there looking down on us all!!

Colton
I am sure Sandy is smiling in heaven at this new addition to her family. I am also sure that she was holding Colton's hand as he fought his way into this life and through the early trials.
Happy 60th birthday, mom.
You were gone before I could reach your side, and only God knew why.
A million times I've needed you, a million times I've cried.
If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died.
My heart still aches in sadness and secret tears still flow,
What it meant to lose you, no one will ever know.
In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still;
In my heart you hold a place, that no one could ever fill.
It broke my heart to lose you, but you didn't go alone.
For part of me went with you, the day God took you home.
Excitement, un-contained
Awww... grandma was so happy! :) Mom had, at first, a simple smile.. well a Cheshire* grin more like it, when we got to the hospital that night. I remember jokingly saying, "Mom, act more excited. You're finally a grandma!" And all of a sudden, she started to [literally] squee with joy as we were walking down the hall to the nicu.. Somewhere along the line, we then clasped hands, hugged, and did a little dance, no joke. The nurses -and my father- looked at us rather oddly, but it didn't matter. Why contain excitement?
I miss the Laverne to my Shirley.. She brought out the best in Chad and I, I personally feel. We didn't have to act-in-order-to-please around her. Mom wasn't afraid to goof around, whether in public or private. :)
