When we got home, I laid in your bed and talked to you, hope you heard me. I thought I was handling all of this so well, then I see pictures of you, daddy and Brad and for some darn reason I get all emotional. God I miss all of you so much. Please tell Bradlee how much I love him and wish I could hold you all real tight. Mom I still can't get through the loss of Brad, not knowing how or why makes me hurts so bad... I will be spending lots of time in your room today visiting with you all and praying that you are all doing well. Pray for me mom, I need strength to get out of this funk and get back to work tomorrow. NO ONE in my world really understands how I am feeling about you all and Brad, but You Mom. I listen to your messages and wish you were here to comfort me. Heidi is right, I feel like an orphan and have no parents to guide me..

We were so sorry to hear about Matts struggles and your loss. Kodi and Matt were teammates on the Tualatin football team and often paired up during practice. They didn't always see eye to eye but everyone always supported these two to work together and to be friends. Kodi had his own run with cancer a year ago so when we heard about Matt we could relate to what your family was going through, up until now. Kodi wanted to visit Matt during his treatment but at one point we were told he couldn't have visitors and then time slipped by and it was too late. Our condolences are with you during this difficult time. We will always remember Matt when we think of Kodi's wonderful experience playing Tualatin football (with Matt).

But you were always their for me not matter what and I will forever be thankful for that. You will never know how much you truly meant to me and what a wonderful woman I thought you were. You gave me the greatest gift of all ,a wonderful, loving father that means the world to me and to you as well. Jaylie was so lucky to have been able to spend her first two years of life with you. You were so loving to her, and you had a very special place in your heart for her. The memories of you Nana will be carried on to her forever. I will miss the cribbage tournaments, Sunday dinners, and special occasions we had with our Nana. I will also miss seeing your Volvo with the American flag , flying around town with a little tiny, white haired woman, in the drivers seat. I will always get a smile when I think of how feisty and outspoken you were when you didn't like something or someone I guess that is where the rest of the family gets it from. No matter how mad I would be at you or vice versa we never gave up on our relationship we would always work through it. I will miss you so much. Whenever I look at the night sky a special star will be shining and and I will always remember the many special memories of my Nana. Give Bapa a great big hug for me and tell him I love him and miss him very much. I will see you in heaven. Love forever and always your granddaughter, Jamie Sue Nana,

Our love and prayers are with all of you. Your mother was a joy to know. I enjoyed our visits when she would stop by our office. She was always so positive and full of energy. She will be missed by many, but her memories will live on forever. Our love and prayers are with all of you.

I am sure you will miss her lots, we never expect our parents to die, I guess we all just think they should live forever, but they will in our hearts and our fond memories. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I was TRULY blessed to have known her and to have received a hand made monkey and a hand made pair of slippers from her. God Bless you all!!

There was no place like home because of you. You always said to stay close to family and love my brothers as blood is thicker than water. We did not expect this result as you are such a strong woman. I know you were ready and prepared to be with dad and your Purpose had been fulfilled. Memories are plentiful and it amazes me how often I tell someone about my mom or my dad. The places we have seen, the arts and crafts we did, the picnics we shared, the trips you took the whole family on. It is because of you I love trees, outdoors, stars, flowers, winter, summer, fall, spring, water, boating, camping, singing, dancing, laughing, fireworks, pianos, old music, Marilyn Monroe (because you looked like her), matching outfits, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter hats, picnic baskets, dandelion jewelry, jump rope, hula hoops, hot coca and toast with butter, croquet, jewelry, shoes. My fondest memory is kneeling next to your bedside while you said your prayers and named every single family member along with all those Catholic prayers and blessing. You changed it up from time to time as you often fell asleep at Jeffrey so you started out with him often. How about camping in Iowa and your long silver hair blowing in the breeze as you walked over to get water. How pretty you were! I am so proud of you and your accomplishments, mom. These are only a few of the memories you created just for us and our dad. Geesh, mom, the dreaded day of knowing I would walk into your empty house has come.

A very likeable and energenic guy that at times would drop off some firewood at my home that my family would enjoy in the winter. We would talk about St School and the church as we both had family that went there. I just enjoyed his company and now wish I had stopped by more often at his business and exchange a little chatter. Hope to do so "later". I met Buzz at a close National Guard watering hole by the name of the Spur near his and my work.
