My wonderful Honey
Went on a vacation with Mike and the kids to watch Owen's baseball chanpionship games in LA. So hot down there and we felt sorry for the boys playing their games for 3 days. But we did end up with some fun at Disneyland and Universal Studios. So much had changes. We even got to have dinner with Brandy. She has sure grown 24 years old now. Still a pretty young lady.We sold the lot finally! I love you and miss you always. So hard to be without you, honey
Love to you Always, Karrol
You are still taking such good care of me!

Nick is my best buddy forever and my Best Man twice. We seemed to have grown-up as neighbors on Churchill Court and his jovial attitude of life was an instance success with my family, especially my Mom and Dad. I thanked him for the times he was there to support me, thanked him for his friendship, and thanked him for his antics that brings laughter to us when we reminisce. Although he is the last of the Woppahos, Nick's self-invented Native American tribe, he now lives in our hearts. We pray for his grieving family and especially Karrol, his nightingale angel and eternal love, may they be granted peace during this very difficult time. Nick, until we meet again, take care buddy.

Thank You for everything Dad. I am the person I am today because of you. And I thank you for that.I will miss your guidance and advise that you always gave me and I will never forget your silliness. In fact I think I have it too. And I thank you for being you. You will always be in my heart. Thank You Dad. I love you.

Papa Nick,
You had said one of the most LOVING things in the world to me that I will NEVER forget.... you were willing to adopt me if I didn't find out who my father was.... I will forever love you for that! You were also "THE" greatest papa to our children, who love you dearly, & for that I will also be eternally grateful! Till we all meet in Heaven! Don't worry, Sierra is keeping her promise & watching over Gramma !
Love,
Your daughter in law,
