I have several wonderful memories of my trips up north from when I was a child with my grandma. and you were all in them. Your home had always felt like my home up north. and I know it is becuase of the love you all have. I remember Clyde taking me out to check out the deer camp, and out to the bay fishing.
MY husband from his first trip hunting felt extreamly welcomed, and loved his conversations with clyde.
Always good for a story, a smile, and a laugh!
We are both extreamly sorry for the loss that everyone feel who knew Clyde. However we are blessed to have had him in our lives. We love having you all as family.
We love you all.

I had a dream about grandpa last night. and we were in the groomer and we were talking about the birds abd the bees. :P and He was lecturing me about how sex is not for children and. all that non sense. and then we met Grandma at Covington hill and we all went sledding together and it seemed really fun! and I gave him a kiss and then My dream switched and I was so sad! I love you Grandpa!and Grandma!

Love always Barbie

Mom,
As I wore my shirt today, it said, "Woman Power Backbone of the Family", I was proud. Proud to know that the strong roots that all your children have are passed on to us. You have always held us together. Now, its our turn to hold you together. Remember Mom that we all care so much about you and Love you so dearly. We are all here for you, and we all have to hold each other together. As we have witnessed, Life is too short to be nothing but happy. Dad would want nothing different but for us to continue our journey and let him watch over us as he always has. He had the biggest heart and would never tell us "no". I'm so thankful for the time that he was able to share with Peyton I wish it would have been longer in hopes of him remembering his "Great Papa". I'm having a hard time right now but I know I will get through it. I just can't imagine what you are going through either and I worry about you. You know where that comes from! It was so great to see all the people come to help us through our time of grief and to think, Dad didn't want this because he thought nobody cared about him. He was so wrong about something hey? He was a good man and my love for him will never end and I can't wait until we can "meet at the river". I love you Mom....

Well It's 11:50pm and I'm sitting up thinking. and crying. I have this lump in my throat and it hurts. I was just thinking about this time when I was at gram and gramps' house and he was on the computer playing slots and he just kept telling me come here babe check this out and i would go in there and every time it was always the same ol' game and some guy would catch a beer and drink it and keep going until he couldn't. and I would still act just as surprised as the first time. Boy do I miss him. Oh Papa. why?!? I am going to try to go to school tomorrow. Maybe you can stop by my dreams tonight and visit me. :D and we can spend time together everynite in my dreams. I'm so looking forward to it. I love you and good night!
Love always
