In preparation to moving back to Minnesota after 25 years I have been converting family videos that my father made over the years unto DVDs. Dad Thank you for preserving memories for all of us. Miss you.

Reading all these entries has brought back some many memories and I how much my Father is still loved to this day.

I just want to keep your memory alive this St Patricks day and extend a late valentine of love to my cousins and Lauer Family. So much time has passed and we have lost our family members. We will always have been engraved with the Love all of you have shared with us. Thank you Val for all the laughter we shared. An we will remember Las Vegas . A lot of fun! So your memory will continue in our hearts today and always! Carol

Again the tree leaves have turned colors of yellow,orange and red.It was at that time you left forever.It brings back so many painful memories.It reminds me that soon the holidays will be here and you, Joey and Vi will not be here with us.I guess we never thought that this time would ever come.But when we said goodbye to you for the last time our hearts broke, knowing it would be a lonely world.There is an empty spot in
our world,we will always remember...
