Aksl,

Well Kamri and I just wanted to write you again tonight she just got done writing her dad a little something. We spent all day at Knight Action Park boy did we get sun burned. Tim went last year with us he had never been before until then. He had a blast. We really wish he could have gone with us today. We really miss you Aksel. I thought about you when I was at the grocery store when I saw your Cherry Crush that you always drank. And those big Cherry slushy drinks that Kamri and I use to bring to you. Mom and Dad sure do miss you. This just should never have happened to you. Its really hard for them because they were so us to you calling every night if you didn't call they called you. That is really going to be a hrd cycle for them to break ya know. You are in a better place God is taking care of you now and you are not in any pain. Lisa called me the other day to see how we all were doing. They sure were upset to hear what has happened to you. There thoughts and prayers are with you and the whole family. Well I best go for now getting ready for bed its midnight. Aksel we love you and Tim and always will be thinking about you both.

Dear Aksel,

I didn't think I would find myself writing to you in this book. But here I am. Kamri and I miss you so much and you have not been gone for very long. I remember all of the good times we shared. I remember our conversations so well just the one the other night Tuesday we talked for almost 2 hours. We really kept late hours me and you. I miss you so much!!!!!!!!! It really took Kam a little while to get warmed up to you but when she did she really seen you for who you are just as everyone did. You are so very special. You have to take care of Tim up there he probably is wondering why you are there already. You both left this world way to soon. Life is so unfair and way to short. I will be quite busy typing to you all the time. I type talking to Tim all the time. This is the hardest thing I have had to go thru. Kam and I are struggling thru this it just doesn't seem right. Seems as it was just yesterday. Ya know Aksel I am sure when God took you away from us Tim met you at the gates and said is favorite saying to you "Hello Baby" you always loved when he said that. We talked about that Tuesday when we talked. I never thought when I talked to you even on Friday that we would never talk again. I was devastated when Mom told me while I was in Taylorville Saturday that you past away. I started crying so hard. I am so thankful for all of the times we had together the family gatherings, holidays you spent with us, birthdays etc. Who thought I would be bringing your last meal over to you last Saturday when Kam and I came by.

I remember all the fun times that we had when you lived in Phoenix. Oh Aksel Kam and I love you so much. You will be ok you are not in any pain anymore and God has special plans for you and Tim. He will take care of you both. I will write again. You can't get rid of me that easy. Our family all misses both of you very much.

God Bless you both
Love forever in a day
Tammy and Kamri and your little buddy even if he growled at you sometimes Gizzy

Aksel,

It has just been a few days that you have been gone we miss you very much. It is so hard knowing that God has called you home to be with him. Your brother and I have found it hard since you have been taken away from us because we were so use to the phone ringing with you calling us every night or if you didn't call us we called you to see how you were doing. We loved having you after your surgeries and you letting us take care of you till you got back on your feet. You always loved me cooking for you. That was your way of saying I was spoiling you. We had many great nights sitting up talking, playing yahtzee with Joyce and when Loretta and Had was home. Those were a lot of fun times that will never be forgotten. All the Sundays you came up visiting having coffee and donuts. You and your brother cutting up with each other all time to see who was going to get one up on the other. The holidays will not be the same with out you. We are so Thankful for all of the holidays we shared with you. It will never be the same. You were so loved and thought of. Aksel you were so thoughtful in many ways. You touched so many lives. God has taken you to a very special and safe place. There is not one day that goes by that we will not think about you. We love and miss you so much.

Love your brother Don and
sister in law Bev
