Tim, Cheryl and Family:

The following poem helped us out greatly with the loss of my Mother...

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in morning’s hush,
I am the swift unfleeing rush
of quite birds in circle flight,
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there,
I did not die.

Kathy and family, so sorry to hear the passing of your mom. The few times I had to spend time with her, she was always happy plus she could cook. Anyone who takes old Belpre apples and make heavenly pies with them is a great cook. God bless you all through this time of grief and heartache. You are in our thoughts and prayers. We love you!!!!

We are friends of Kathy & Terry and had the privelege of meeting Sarah years ago at one of Travis's sporting events when Travis and our son Seth were in high school and got to spend time with her on occasion over the years. She was a very special lady who was loved so much by all of her family and friends. We mourn her passing with you and pray that in the days ahead you will find comfort in your many wonderful memories of the special woman Sarah was.
Love, Don & Debbie

We are so sorry to hear of your mothers passing. She reminded me so much of my mother: so loving, caring, creative, love of flowers, love of life, and especially the love for her family.
I enjoyed visiting with her at church each sunday and enjoyed when she'd bring her grandson to church or share news of family members. She was so proud. Our prayers go out to you Dale and all the family. She was a wonderful women and will be greatly missed. God Bless you all.

Since I received Mom's call advising me of your loss, I have found myself going back in time and remembering how our families have crossed paths. Of course, high school and 4H activities werew some of the first memories, then there was time spend together when Nate and Amanda(Mandy then) were small and we did things together. Amanda and Kara were in school with Tim's kids and they still talk of Mr. Hamilton being the principal while they were in elementary school. After our moves we would see some of you from time to time when we were each visiting our parents as only a few houses separated them or at NU sports events or community functions. I also remember how supportive your family has always been of one another and how strong you are when you come together. I know it will be this support and strength that help you now. Thinking of you all with love.
