Another year has passed. As the saying goes..."Time heals all things." I hope you and my sister celebrated your birthday together. I remember her dieing on your birthday and how you where there for me some 25 years ago.
Colleen and Michaela judge dairy together. They both did a fantastic job in Fort Worth this month. I guess that is another generation of Krenek & Richter/Bram friendships forming.
Watch over your family and mine. I miss you!

Sunday would have been your 52nd birthday... Me and Daddy went to your grave, and put some pretty roses on it for you.

I don't even have words anymore for how I feel. All I can do is cry.

Momma, I miss you so much...

THIS IS IN MEMORY OF LIZ MY WONDERFUL, ANIMAL LOVING COUSIN. SHE WAS ALWAYS CHASING AND FIXING THE ANIMALS AT THE FARM WHEN MY SIBLINGS STAYED ON HER FAMILIES FARM MANY SUMMERS. ALL THE FUN WE HAD PICKING COTTON ENDS AND WHO WAS GOING TO GET INTO THE TRAILER AND STOMP. WE TEASED EACH OTHER WHO WAS GOING TO HAVE THE MOST IN OUR COTTON SACKS AT 1CENT A POUND. I REMEMBER ALL THE SOFTBALL GAMES AND VOLLEYBALL GAMES IN THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE. EARLY MORNING MILKING THE COWS AND HIDING IN THE BARN....

Happy Birthday, Liz. I miss you very much and I know that you are in a better place with your Mom and Dad and Grandpa and Grandma. I am trying to take care of your daughter, Amber, the best that I can. We had a Mass for you at St. John's in Hungerford today. Richard and Amber were there. Love, Aunt Ninnie

Today, you would have been 51 years old in your earthly life. Happy Birthday, Liz. I miss your love, compassion, friendship, and companionship. We spent much time together in our early life on the ranch in Egypt, Texas. We worked hard and played hard. Oh, those memories are wonderful. You had that free spirit and that golden, beautiful, blonde hair. We were together during the good times and the bad times; working in the fields in the summer and picking those pecans in the winter. We...

With your birthday approaching, it is hard to believe that you have been gone almost a year. Often, Michaela and I see people in the crowd that resemble you so we stop and think of you.
When we played our 9-10 year old All-Star tournament in Needville at the softball field, Michaela and I both cried. We knew you were there watching her pitch and me coach. People thought that something was wrong, but they understood after we told them about a great friend, coach, and...

My family has known Coach Koch for a very long time. My sister told me alot about her and when I saw her in action, she made me excited for athletics. She always had a warm smile on her face and a great story to tell. To her, even though she loved to win, if you didn't have fun in what you were doing then there was no point in doing it. Track was always eventful with her around. If you wanted to go to a track meet all you had to do was ask and you were on that list to get out of school early....

I have been in athletics for 8 years now, and I never had a coach in high school or college quite like Coach Koch. She had a gift of happiness. YOu couldn't help but laugh and smile when you were around her :) Going into 7th grade I was intimidated of becoming an athlete. I was so worried about doing everything right & pleasing the coaches. She showed me that it was all about trying, learning, and most importantly having fun while you do it. In Middle School, I also had her for my 7th grade...

Please accept our deepest sympathies.
