Don't weep at my grave,
For I am not there,
I've a date with a butterfly
To dance in the air.
I'll be singing in the sunshine,
Wild and free,
Playing tag with the wind,
While I'm waiting for thee.


This poem reminds me of when Mom, Gail and I went down to the beach near Mom's house and we acted like little kids playing on the playground equipment and the beach. What fools we were and what fun we had. Connie

If roses grow in Heaven Lord
Please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my Mother's arms
and tell her they're from me.
Tell her I love her and miss her,
and when she turns to smile,
Place a kiss upon her cheek
and hold her for a while.
Because remembering her is easy,
I do it everyday,
But there is an ache within my heart
That will never go away.

32 year anniversary

Lets remember Pops and keep him in our prayers today. He died 32 years ago on Aug. 11th. We Miss you just as much today as we did the day you left us. I am sure he is enjoying his love of gardening and fishing up there and putting an abundant amount of veggies and fish on the Lords table. We all miss raiding the garden. Love you (Dad) Pops

I just want to say thank you to Mom for raising good strong children who have turned into good strong adults. Because of her I have have values and morals that I hope I have passed onto my children. I am able to live the life I do so far from home and without a husband at my beckon call, Although he should be. So Mom, THANK YOU!! You did a great job. Connie

Mothers Day 2007
Joan with Red Hat friend

Hi, I just had to share pictures of Ryan's graduation on May 21, 2008. He was just so happy to finally have gotten his Bachelor's degree. It took him a while but he made it. He got it in Business Management from St. Leo University. He didn't want to "walk" but I'm glad he changed his mind. I think that it will be something he'll always remember instead of getting a diploma in the mail. Posted by proud parents Richard & Denise.
