I am not sure who reads my Dads questbook, but I needed to let you know my Mother passed away on February 8th,2006. I will miss her along with my Dad. They are now together again getting ready to give each other a valentine with a kiss and hug to go with it. Mom and Dad I sure love you both. I am going to miss you both.
Thanks for letting me be your daughter.

Dearest Grandpa, I like you forever, I'll Love you for always.. I'll be seeing you again. Love Aubray and Michael

Nine months ago my dear Roger passed into eternity. Has it really been nine months? When I think about that it comes to mind that a tiny baby is conceived and after developing in to a baby is born.
When my dear husband passed away a tiny little group of cells was developing into an enbryo to eventually be a full term baby. I think of the babies born with in this gestation period, and I wonder at what their life will be.
It is my prayer that they will see the world a better place...

49 years ago my beloved Roger waited at the alter for me. It was in the Methodist church in Safford, Arizona.
I look at the picture of us and I wonder how young and innocent we were. We loved each other and together we went through so much but we did it. We had the faith in God and in each other to make our marriage work.
This was my first Christmas with our Roger. I gave a tape to Pamela of her father talking to her children and some other conversations....

49 years ago was the first Thanksgiving with my then attended husband. Roger had gone back to Ill for a job and I was still in Safford in high school. As Susie, his sister and I were very good friends she ask me over for Thanksgiving. Later that evening Roger called his home. I wanted to talk to him so badly. His Father did not know how serious we had become and that we were writting to each other. I was unable to speak with him but I was happy he was happy. He told his family he would...

My Dear Sweet Roger,

This month 3 of our grandchildren have birthdays. There have not been any parties as Nathan is down in El Frida, Caleb on his mission, and we have not seen Levi yet. I have sent cards to them and always remember you with the cards. I remember...

Our dear Rogers birthday was September 24. It has been 6 months almost to the day that his life on earth ended. All of our family, that was able to, decided to meet at the cemetary and remember his birthday and celebrate his life here upon earth.
It was one of the most beautiful experlience I have ever felt. Our dear loving daughter, Pamela, did all the hard work. We had written messages from each of us and she got all of them together and put them into balloons filled with helium. ...

Five months ago today our beloved husband, father, and grandfather passed on into eternal life. It is so hard to believe that it has been five months.
This month we had 4 birthdays. Aubray's was first. They invited me over to her Mother's home for a small celebration, but I was unable. Aubray came by that evening wtih her good husband. I had a small gift for her and she was so pleased. She is back in Beauty School and is going to put the gift I gave her towards a conference she wants...
