Hey Big Guy, hope you are staying out of trouble and keeping a watchful eye on all of us...actually, I think you are because Johnny got into a horrific accident last night with his car and actually walked away. Sarah is a mess but no one was hurt. He is now on the court leash which is most likely going to save his life. Wish you were here so you could shake him and make him wake up. I am thankful that the good Lord has seen fit to keep him on this earth. He is meant to do amazing things...I just know it. Mom is still here..she is 92 now and still working her beautiful slice of land. She loves it so.
I know you don’t mind getting a message of all the family news. You loved all of us so much. We miss your laughter, sense of humor but most of all your kind heart. Love you Big Chief. Sleep easy❤️

Another year has come and gone. It’s 10 yeArs now. Your Mom passed away almost two years ago....Kevin died two years ago on August 15 th while logging....I still have not dealt with that. Dad is gone too but he left me a gift and now I own the building....you would have loved living here. It’s my sanctuary. I could sure use your help to keep making changes but somehow, I know you will let me know what to do. Miss you like crazy....some days are better than others but this one day, July 6 th will always be the worst...I love you more Mountain Man. Rest In Peace. I will see you in my dreams ❤️

So here we are....8 years later almost to the moment. God I miss you so much. I miss your wonderful sense of humor, your stupid jokes and that laugh....I can still hear it. I wish I could just one more time feel those big mountain man arms around me. I know you are here off and on..,just checking in to see how things are going. The kids are all good. The littles are not so little anymore but they still remember” Bumpa”. This was your time if the year. Strawberries, tomato plants Nd pot plants......lol. Rest easy my love. I am holding down the fort as best I can. I will always love you❤️

Happy Birthday big guy! Can't believe it's been almost 4 years since you left for heaven. I called your mother today. We shared how much we miss you.....every single day! The shop has grown by leaps and bounds, just like you knew it would. Everything you made is still there and I get to remember all the fun and work that went in to opening my little dream. May you forever be at peace and happy...we all miss you more than words can express❤️❤️

I have been thinking about you every single day. I still miss you like crazy and was having such a hard time yesterday that I .could not sit and write. So much has changed and yet so much has stayed the same. I found the heart shaped rock on the floor of the living room yesterday . How it got there, I will never know but it helped me smile through my tears. I love you Shawn, as much now as ever and I will always carry your songs, laughter and sweetness in my heart. Thank you for being my friend, partner and confidant. Godspeed Babe!

Happy Birthday Babe! I woke up missing you as usual. Things are ok but I still feel lost most days. Kind of just chugging through each day. I went to see Mom on Mothers Day with Verity and lo and behold, a feather fell from the sky and landed about 3 feet away from me. Verity saw it and could not believe her eyes. I know you are around. I just wish I could hear your voice and crazy laugh!!! I miss you as much today as I did the moment you left us. I pray all the time that the good Lord is holding you safe and you are at peace, finally. Love you for the rest of my days my Big Chief!

I am missing you so these days. Happy Birthday Big Chief. Somehow I get through the days and nights. I remember your wonderful laugh and the twinkle in your eyes. Those beautiful blue eyes sparkled. Thank you for all the feathers...so many feathers to remind me of you and your love. Sleep in peace my Mountain Man. I will always carry you in my heart.

Hey Babe,
Just thinking of you today and how much fun we had together. I only wish it could have lasted longer. But I will forever cherish all the smiles, the crazy jokes, your 'Shawnisms' and your complete love. You left a very big hole here on this old earth when you went away. I feel you with me all the time. Thank you being YOU!!
