Hi Bodil, we all still miss you. Always will. Often I wonder what you would be like. Know you would be married with kids. How many and what they would be like. I´m sure they would all be as wonderful as you. Grandma misses you, but I will be there to see you soon. I´m 84 now and plan to live to 100 so as fast as time goes it won´t be long. Love you so much sweetheart! Grandma

Good morning Bodil it´s Fourth of July morning.mum still in bed it´s been pretty rough 22 years. I still feels like yesterday. I miss you and I don´t know if I want to do the parade. Don´t think I´m really into it but really sounds good to me. Is food and quietness. I don´t know Mom´s not awake yet. You´re so loving and you´re so missed and I wanna thank you for everything you´ve ever done God for me, grandma and Jorgen.and your friends. put this out there for a few of your friends to let them know that grandma`s book was still up and see what happens. I don´t know they´re all grown up and big Ollie Road that was very nice. It´s too late for Mom and Day, you know her never know which direction I´m gonna going right now. Something in the crockpot and Ernies tequila margaritas that sounds really yummy to me. No people just me and my kitty. I love you, baby girl. You´re so missed and so loved love mummy

Hi baby, Its late and I should be in bed but I cant sleep . Its been 16 years now and all your friends have grown up into beautiful women with children. This last year I took a lot out on them. They all still love me. I don't know what it was unanswered questions to wondering what you child would be like or his or hers smile would look like. Jorgen is convinced you would be Vegan. So am I. How you hated animals being killed for food. Jorgen is confirmed. He tries to get me to convert but its hard. Thanksgiving this week. Grandma is in Hawaii for 5 months so its jorg and I and your empty chair. We know you will there in spirit.I just wanted to say. We Love you and you are missed terribly bad. Watch over us.Luv mum. To infinity and back. I put a poem up. I love it. Helps me stay strong.Happy thanks Giving Bodil.

Bodil I am living and i kept going and I am not slowing down this train for nothing. Mommy has kept another promise. I could have not kept going if my daughter taught me the biggest lesson in life. I can hear you whisper to me: Dont Hate mommy!. Your huge heart for life and love and honor and courage. Mommy has held on to your strongest convictions starting at such a young age. I hold your hand in Knowledge and life even through tragedies.Seem to be making it.The bravest women I know is you child.I didn't to do bad for a parent.Love Mum

Well, I guess I will write you again, I will leave out how you were not the average child.The fact you wanted to find missing children and get them to their familys at a very young age. Most girls your age would want to play barbie. I am so proud to be your mother. Everyone is fine. Brother is doing much better, Daddy is happy, grandma is calming down.Court is going to aunt Shannon's finely. Less work for grandma. I found this picture of you and Shannon. Bodil you are just jetting up this rock . Aunt Shannon posing for the camera. I can just here you saying : Aunt Shannon lets get to the top there is magic at the top or something out of the box. No fear child even when you were young.I found your old science book on Einstein. Remembering always that you were going to be a scientist when you grew up. Science was in your blood. A secret not many that knew you knew.Between you and I Bodil your were the greatest scientist that ever lived. ;-)Well time to work on my resume. I love you and missing you.I know its may and I hope you are soaring over those wild flowers and just absorbing all the smells and beauty. This my second May Day writing. I guess the first didn't pass. That's okay it's was probably best. Love you and Peace out! Mum

Thanks for always reminding me that I need to do better and be better and that you still to this day are in my corner.

September 26, 2011

my love, my angel, my friend, Happy Birthday!! Although I always try to celebrate your life on this day and always, you (&my brother) are the only things in my life that break me. There is always that feeling that there was something I wish I could have changed or could have done better or could learn from and take to the future. I don't know why every year feels like the first year without you. I guess I am lucky to have so many vivid memories of you that only you and I share. Happy Birthday Bodil. this year I am getting a gift rather than you, thank you Bodil. RIP BODIL, I LOVE YOU BIRTHDAY GIRL!

Heather Allen

September 16, 2011

Hello Bodil, I think I am officially in touch with all the girls now! We all love and miss you so much. It really is bitter-sweet because we are all reminded that we are down a friend, one that bonded us to one-another. I wish you could be here I've been thinking about you so much and I just want you to know that. I was at dinner with friends the other night and one of them had so many mannerisms that you have, I started laughing at her because it reminded me so much of you. You're definitely missed Bodil, the small things are still noticed everyday. I love and miss my best friend, you'll always be near and dear to my heart Bodil.

Heather Allen

August 7, 2011

Bodil, I love you and I miss you. I wish you were here. I don't understand why things are happening the way they are. I know you know what I mean, this is all so crazy and unfair. I hate being in this situation and I wish you were here to talk with me about it. You were an amazing person. I think of how you lived your life, both the good and the bad and it will always play out in my mind. It's a joyous struggle, I just want you back Bodil. RIP, I love you

Hello my friend,how I've missed you. I always have such a hard time getting into your guest book.I'm so computer illiterate. You know ,for awhile I tried to forget about you and just hide your memories somewhere in my brain, where I can never find them. Even with my two girls and the craziness and sadness that has been a part of my life for way to long, I just never could forget you.Whom ever said, "Time heals all wounds!" couldn't be more wrong, kuz when you truly love someone and genuinely care about them,time only makes it worse.I always wondered what could of been if things where different. I miss you so much, I know I just can't get rid of you,but I would never want you gone. The pain isjust always there and it will never go away.lol. I love you , nite nite.

Well my dear, I know you see my life unfolding from above and I know you are here with me but I sure wish I could see your shining face! I burst in to tears on the way to work the other day because I was unable to share my good news with you. I am now thinking of all the things we went threw growing up and how I know you know how I feel right now. The world works in mysterious ways and can truly be so unfair. I can think of so many terrible things I've experienced and I surly could throw myself a huge pity party, but I'm not. I am so thankful for the good times. I cherish my memories with and of you. I'm so thankful your mom is still a part of my life, she keeps me closer to you and she may not know it but she's helped me grow and keeps me from loosing my mind. I love and miss you very much Bodil.

Bodil,

I feel like I have been talking to you so much lately. I love you dearly and miss you so much. I find tears coming out of nowhere and I just wipe them away without crying but with some kind of pain I can't describe. You have helped mold me into a strong woman with a great deal of compassion and love. I miss you so much Bodil. I love you and I thank you for being amazing and guiding me in the right direction for so many years.

Heather Allen

September 24, 2009

MY BEST FRIEND!! I love and miss you so much Bodil. I truly miss hearing your voice. I should have kept your old cell phone in service just so I could hear your voice (and probably a song) on your voice mail. You completely brighten my day. I have been going through some emotionally draining times lately. I've lost someone and am losing someone else and they do not even realize it. I try to share your life with other so they understand better why I feel certain ways about things. Whether is compassion, friendship, love or sorrow you really have been there in so many ways for me over the last 22 years. We go way back and I will continue to bring you into my future Bodil. I bought cake mix, new baking pans and chips and salsa to celebrate your birthday on Saturday. I miss you dearly, Keep watching over all of us. I think I can speak for a lot of us when I say that we could use some extra guidance lately. I love you and miss you. I wish I could tell you personally but Happy 25th Birthday Bodil.

HAPPY NEW YEAR Little One. Oh how I love you. We had a good Xmas. Very different from when you, Aunt Moine and Grammie were here. But, it was still Xmas. You know, you were with us. Did you like you flowers and balloon? I was out walking in the yard today, and stopped at your little sign I bought for the fence. It says "We left room in this garden for angels to dance." Have you been dancing there lately? I love you so much Bodil. Stay with me.

Happy birthday Bodil Glene Hudek,
I woke up before dawn on youre birthday this year, and I sat and listen to the silence and looked out the window, I reflected on the sky and the first snow the day u were born in Tahoe and youre incredible beauty when you arrive and then i flashe on youre daddy and the amazement in his eyes and the love and all of the sudden he yelled WELCOME TO THE WORLD BODIL GILENE HUDEK! LOL and at that point we knew he made a decision on what youre name was going to be. Baby girl I just wnat to say that i know the world got hard and ruff, but you took it with more grace and courage than most people could have ever done. You smiled , you danced, and most of you did not hate. Me as youre mother knows that I did not fail you, as a parent, That you learned the most important thing in life and trust me little one that cannot be mastered by many people, i love you so very very much. Happy 24th..

Love Mommy

My precious Bodil: This is Grandma to wish you a very very Happy 24th Birthday! I cut you roses today and Mom bought you beautiful flowers. I so wonder what I would be buying you for your Birthday. Clothes, baby clothes, a gift to share for you and your husband? Would you have a husband and baby. Who knows. Maybe you would be a college graduate. Well I know one thing, you would still be smilling, laughing and DANCING! I love you my baby girl, you are always in my heart. Stay with me. Love Grandma

hey bodil,
This is Joe, your best friend heather husband. I guess what brings me here is your connection with my wife. I know you dont know me but i feel like i know so much about you. You mean so much to heather. She misses you so much. Our relationship has been better but i guess you take the good with the bad. She has been going through a rough time lately with her lose and some big changes in our lives. I guess i'm just asking you to watch over her and give her the strenth she need right now, i know she is so strong already but it never hurts to have alittle help.Heather means the world to me and you mean the world to her. I'm not real good with expressing myself alot of the time so it makes it hard on her, but i know she turns to you for support. She is lucky to have had someone like you in her life, and you are just as lucky becuase let me tell you, she loves you so much!! Keep and eye over her becuse she means so much to me. It was nice to chat with you and i hope to stop by again some time soon to say hello.

Bodil I love and miss you! I was looking at the picture of us on our first day of Jr. High last week...I don't care what anyone says we were so cool! I feel like I'm running....I don't know why or what too. I'm looking for the honesty in my life....especially back at home. I feel like I never know whats really going on and I hate it. as if 5 years haven't been hard enough without you. You will continue to be one of my closest kept secrets when it comes to my mind and heart. I feel like you guide me and have had such an impact in the way I live my life. I don't know where I would be without you...wait I do I'd be in carmichael, the part of carmichael that brings you down. The best person in that city is your mom and I think about her all the time. I wish I could hug you and tell you that i love you. I miss you so much...I hope that you see my grandparents up there and tell them that I love them. I just miss my friend so much...

Hey Bodil, It's Holly. Sorry I haven't written you in forever. Life gets crazy sometimes and I don't have the internet at my house, really no excuse. Bodil, it seems that lately I am losing someone close to me every 3-4 months and it's hard. The holidays are here, and I find myself missing you, my Grandparents, my Uncle. It's really hard some days. I wish you were here to tell me they are all okay and tell me about Heaven and how wonderful it is up there, that might make it easier to deal with to KNOW for SURE what it's like. I have this friend named Troy that has cancer right now too and he's real sick, the MD's say MAYBE 90 days left. He has 3 young kids and a wife, and I don't know how they are going to take it when his time comes. Please ask GOD to make sure he gets into heaven with you. I think of you VERY often! I heard Juvenile again last week and started crackin up thinkin' of you dancin' in your room while we got ready for the night, and Jorgen busting in on us and you telling him to "go away!" gosh that was so long ago now... Do you even remember? I bet you do. My prayers are with your family over the Holidays. I love you Bodil, come see me in my dreams K. XOXOXO

Hello my precious girl! Your birthday just past but on that day I could not write. It was a beautiful day and you were in my thoughts all day. Grandpa & I talked about the fact that you were 23 years old and could not believe how the time goes so fast. We remember the day you were born so well. Oh honey how I miss you. I love you so much and can't write any more. Be with me. Love Grandma

Happy Birthday Bodil

Hi Baby, mommy did not forget about your birthday, infact you were the only thing on my mind.

You are so beutiful my precious child, and I love you so very much.
Love mommy!
