Dad-I can't believe it's been a year already. Hope you enjoyed the yellow roses I brought. Lots of great memories showing heifers/bulls and all the awards I won because of your teachings. I loved watching you laugh and making you laugh with your dimpled cheek. I really enjoyed when you and I rode horses together down by the railroad tracks. Peanuts (my pony) got scared of a snake and ran as fast as he could to the top of the hill. You laughed your head off. I was kind of scared, but it was awesome! I love you Dad and will NEVER forget you! Love, Judy

Dear Audrey Tietjen and family, Please accept our sincere condolences at the passing of your husband and father. We were your neighbors for the past 35 years and always enjoyed speaking with you. We have good memories of Mr. Tietjen hiring our son, Danny, to pull weeds when he was a youngster and sharing the love of pigeons with him. We also have a grandson, Marcos, who is 9 yrs old and always remembered Mr. Tietjen in his prayers each night. He would say, "and God bless Mr. & Mrs. Tietjen" in his prayers. He met your father on one of our many walks up and down the street. Marcos and I also attended the buriel of "Princess" his cat. Marcos was very touched by this and told Ruth, "I'm sorry for your loss". Again, our prayers and sympathy to you and your family. Mrs. Adela Cardenas

Happy Birthday, Dad. Ever since I was born I've learned so much from you and I will always treasure all of our wonderful memories together. You've helped me to grow physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I know that God has truly blessed me to have you as my dad for so many wonderful years. I love you so much!
