December 1, 1943 – April 10, 2006
We are souls living in bodies. Our bodies grow old, but our souls never die. Seven years ago, you went to Heaven. While you are no longer on this earth, your spirit lingers on in the lives of our three amazing children. You would be so proud of them. They are strong, loving, successful. They are giving and devoted spouses. They are loving, remarkable, wonderful parents.
They are happy.
Our grandchildren are treasures. I tell them about you often. I tell them “Granddad stories”. I wish you could have lived long enough to have met the youngest ones. They will hear Granddad stories too. I see so much of you in our children and, now, in the grandchildren. No doubt, they will have your drive and your competitive streak. They are all athletic like you. They’re artistic like both of us. You would love hearing them play the piano and the violin.
Our grandchildren are incredible blessings and bring me such joy.
From time to time, I do see a mischievous grin on their faces and I know just where that came from…
Love always,
Dianne
- Our two older children…fifteen & a half months apart. Joyful, busy days for a young Mom and Dad. Here they are coloring before bedtime in our son’s “cowboy & Indian” room…
