Dad and Mom

I know that it has been such a long time since the last post.  Our family has had a very long spring.  I lost my father on the 5th of May and my mother passes away on the 12th of June.  They would have been married
65 years on the 4th of August.  You know you don't always realize how much you will miss that phone call or the chance to say I love you or to hear them say those words until they are gone.  I truly miss them both!
I know they are in a better place now and together again.

Thank you to all the care givers and staff from Powell Valley Assisted Care and the Dr.s and Staff from
OHSU and Providence hospitals that cared for Dad and Mom on their last journey.  Dad and Mom were
very blessed to have so many friends and family that were always there for them.

These are a few of the pictures of my sister Debbie, Mom, brother Harley, Dad and myself from a few
years ago.  The picture of  mom and dad sitting on the bench together is one of my favorites that was
taken just a year ago.  Dad loved to garden and I know I got my green thumb from dad.  Dad would
be proud of my garden so far this year. Mom and Dad lived a long great life together and we were so
blessed to have them all this time.
