Deanna and Jack had a beautiful blond hair, blue-eyed baby girl who looks just like Deanna did when she was small. They named her Morgan. Ryun is in the 1st grade, as well as, into all kinds of sports. He's a great little guy! We've gained another family member, too, because Kim got married this year. Dad you would really like Steve! (He works on Nicole has a little boy'of her own now and is working on her CNA.

Chris has far outgrown you PaPa, and is busy deciding on what colleges to apply to. Darrell and Debbie are experiencing the joys of college life combinec with teenage girls invading thei home! Jeff is at K-State and keep busy writing agriculture articles Jessica has blossomed into a beautiful young woman, who enjoy visiting her brother at his fraternity house. Danny and Kenna moved to Salin and can usually be found with house full of boys from around th neighborhood. Travis has outgrow his mother and is so handsome, Keely talks non-stop and screams when her mother combs her hair Mema finds this extremely comical! Mom stays busy all the time. She divides her time between each of us and helping grandpa.

This is her way of fighting the loneliness of missing you. She has remained ever so strong in continuing family traditions. Selling the farm was the hardest thing she's ever done, am none of us truly understand her heartache. Her commitment to ou family has held us all strong am kept us from drifting apart. Each time we see a smiling angel we know it's been sent from you to her.

Not a day goes by that we don' tlunk about you. Sometimes we see a man who looks like you and almos call out, or we hear a song on the radio that reminds us of you. Wher we're doing projects together we break out in laughter thinking abou what you would say if you could see how we were doing things. The lessons you taught us throughou life are still with us and guide us in so many directions. You stressed the importance of family and we have held on to that lesson.

We miss you so much but are so grateful for the values you passed on before you left. Time has not changed our love it has only made it stronger. Until We All Meet Again, Your Family 4.
