We're already to the end of the first month of 2007 and once again, it's time to honor and remember those that have gone on before us:

This is to honor my husband Jerry as he went to be with the Lord this month. I love him and miss him. This is a great pic. He loved the water and fishing.

In Loving Memory of my Grandfathers Charles (Charlie) Walstrom and Paul Siira.
It has been 22 years this month for Charles Walstrom and 2 years for Paul Siira. I think of you both and miss you every day

Remembering my friend, Susan Clouthier Silkey, who died from cancer in the month of January.

This photo really sets the mood for the memory page. It's a promise of things to come. Thank you Kathy. It's beautiful!

Remembering our faithful Chocolate Lab, Barney, who we put to rest on January 21. He gave us 15 years of love and happiness. We miss him.

In memory of Dora (Dot) Gill who passed away two weeks ago today. She was the best pasty maker around! We sure miss her smile.

Remembering my brother Dave who passed on five years ago January 1 - way too young to go. He is missed so very much. Thanks to Kathy for a great photo to end the month on.

In memory of my father, Al Utzman. He was one of the best. He took care of alot of elderly people in his lifetime and always had consideration and a helping hand for anyone in need. He passed on January 27,1972 and is still sorely missed by his entire family. Miss and love you Dad.

Thank you for the beautiful photo. My mother who passed Jan. 26, 1992 would have loved it also. I still miss you every day Mom!

his first trip to the North Country he thought he
was in paradise and now he really is.

In memory of my mother, Norma, who passed away 9 years ago this week.

Hi! I check out the picture & cam notes almost every day, but this is the first time I'm writing. I was reading the names of those to remember & I saw my great-aunt Irene Racine on list. I had heard she recently passed away, but I just didn't expect to see her name like that. It was very nice to see her remembered. I guess the Yooper communities are a little closer knit than those in the Metro Detroit area.
I would also like to take a moment to remember my grandma & Aunty Irene's sister Isabel Miekstyn. She passed away 2 May 2005 after a short battle with cancer. We still miss her very much. Thank you.

Based on the ages of some of the folks mentioned here, it is a testimony that life in the UP is very good for you! Must be the pasties.

Remembering my brother Darrell Cummings who past away this past May at the age of 34. I miss him so much.

In Memory of my father Mitchel Bradley.

In memory of my loving and lovely mother, Marjorie Seymour, who passed away in January of 1997. She just missed her granddaughters....

She was a woman of gentleness, dignity and love who personified hard work and integrity. I miss her every day.
