It's been a hard day, we are all greaving. i can only imagine what Neil and Arae are going through. I am so grateful for the knowledge that Families can be together forever.

Tristan Neil Wyatt

Our little nephew came into this world yesterday, to share his special spirit with us, long enough to capture all of our hearts, but late last night due to his little heart, he returned home to live with his Father in Heaven and his Great Grandma Evelyn and Audrey, and i am sure countless others. Before he left us, we got the chance to give him a name and a blessing. the spirit was so strong, i doubt there was a dry in that room. Little Tristan we will miss you, God be with you until the time comes that we can see you again.

Tiny hands, angel hands. perfect hands, blameless hands. lifeless hands, resting in the night. waiting for the light when life will follow. Oh God of Heaven, send Christ again, bring in his rain of peace. Let earth turn pure for tiny hands, and safe for tiny feet. Then give back my child to me.

i was told that i failed to to put a picture of one of my favorite families! my apologies, so here it is.

One generation to another

Evelyn and Ervin Burkhardt (grandparents) Separated by the death of Evelyn, Joined forever in eternal marriage.

Caught my eye, so shy. Saw your face by mine. Took my hand for time. and beyond, sublime. So I say with you, our prayers to thee, and we set our sites right here on bended knee.

For the sake of my dreams, for the sake of my life, for the sake of the way I feel inside. For the sake of the sun, shining out in the sky. For the sake of the stars swarming round the heavens on a charger of light. Call it the simple things, that own my heart, and clear my eyes, and show the way i feel. Inside.

Caught your smile, so kind, we go on. restore, relieve, revive, redeem, we fly.

For the sake of the woman that I kissed at the alter in the house of the Lord.

-Chris Heimerdinger

It's been almost 15 years since you left us Grandma. We miss you and we know we will see you again.



Sherry and Tim Wyatt (parents) separated by divorce, it sucks, but life rolls on.

I've seen it on your face... so now we go separate ways, never again.... nothing i can do do.

I watched you walk away. Tell me is it really so hard to say. This has been my longest day, sitting here close to you. Knowing that... tonight where through.

Like an image passing by, my love, my life. In the mirror of your eyes, my love my life. I can see it all so clearly, and so insincerely. Was it a dream, my life. Like reflections of your light, my love my life, all the words you tried to find, my love, my life. but i know I don't possess you, so go away God bless you...
-ABBA

Dad, Mom will always love you, but thank you for letting her move on, it was time.



It's us! where planning on living forever and divorce is not in our vocabulary.

If I wrote a pop song, that topped the charts, and everyone sang it with all there hearts, and it rocked on for 20 years at number 1. I'd say it's the 2nd greatest thing I've ever done.

If I wrote a sermon, like the one on the mount, if I had billions in my account. If I cured cancer, and a Nobel prize was won. I'd say it's the second greatest thing I've ever done.

Cause i loved her, i kept my promise, i loved her no matter what. and she'll always be the only one. i am not a perfect husband, but my heart was never shut. Loving hers the greatest thing I've ever done.

-Michael McLean

I couldn't have said it better myself.

You can probably tell what's all over the car. It's funny as many times as we have tried to clean the car, every once and a while we'll find one hidden somewhere.

And in the immortal words of James Taylor- How sweet it is to be loved by you, how sweet it is to be loved by you. I needed the shelter of someones arms, there you where. I needed someone to understand my ups and downs, there you where. With sweet love and devotion, deeply touch. How sweet it is to be loved by you, feels so fine. How sweet it is to be loved by you. I closed my eyes at night, wondering where I would be without you in my life, everything I did was just a bore, everywhere I went it seems I've been there before. but you got enough for me all my days. Love so sweet in so many ways. I wanna stop and thank you baby, I just want to stop and thank you baby, oh yes, how sweet it is to be loved by you, it's just like sugar sometimes. How sweet it is to be loved by you. Wo, yeah. You where better to me then i was to myself. For me there's you and there ain't nobody else, I wanna stop and thank you baby, i just wanna stop, and thank you baby. Oh yes, how sweet it is to be loved by you. How sweet it is to be loved by you. Oh now, how sweet it is to be loved by you. It's like jelly baby. Oh yeah, how sweet it is to be loved by you, just like honey to the bee baby. how sweet it is to be loved by you.
