Time seems to pass so quickly and before we know it, another month has gone by and it’s time to pause here on the Pasty Cam and remember those who have left us too soon.

What a beautiful picture in tribute to her
dad. I remember that day 13 years ago when I
lost my dad. We were driving up here in
silence when, in Bergland, the sun shown
through the passengers side window and
blinded me. I knew it was a sign from my dad
that he was okay and that I would be too.
I'm still not sure, all these years later,
that I'm OK. I think of him often.
My sympathies to all who have lost someone
precious to them. Special condolences to
Henry's family. We spent a lot of time
together back in the day. He was a wonderful
friend.

Karen Swanson was one of the good Lord's special
angels on this planet. Fly high...I know you and
Randy are dancing again. Put on the huge, sparkly
wings....and watch over us all.

God's Blessings to all.

And what a gorgeous picture.

My younger brother, Doug Laughlin, died November 9
of this year after a 3-year battle with lung cancer
and COPD. We are still in shock as to how fast he
went downhill in his last week. Doug is sorely
missed.
