Ohhh what a lovely photo and so appropriate when one thinks of Dorothy Knight. She was a lovely and peaceful Christian lady. One of the last things she ever did while on this earth- in spite of her own grief- is- she reached out to help another.

Remembering my wife Lori who loved the Keweenaw so much. Can't believe it's been almost 6 years that you've been gone.

DOLLAR BAY — Donald A. Kallio, 47, of Dollar Bay, died Tuesday morning, May 20, 2008 six days after his birthday.The Kallio family was one of our neighbor's. Donald's brother George my friend, wished for a brother,he had older ones away from home. George was excited that day in May when he told me. He said,"I guess I wished to hard I have two,and they look alike! Twins Donny & Danny, I could never tell them apart.

Happy Birthday to my mother, Betty Ravasz who would have turned 85 today.
Remembering my father, John Ravasz.

Remembering my mother, Shirley Siess Smith, who passed away on May 23,1993. She loved the Keweenaw, but never got to live here. It's hard to believe it's been 15 years. I miss her still.

Lovingly and tenderly remembering my very dear mother and best friend, Allie (Laplander) Jokie who passed away on May 7, 1979 in Escanaba. I still miss her very much and it's hard to believe it has been almost 30 years. We graduated from Suomi College together in 1971. I will always treasure the great legacy she left me by her wonderful example in so many ways. Also remembering with much love my precious grandparents, Emil and Mary Laplander, my sweet aunties Julia Benney and Ruth Smith, my dear uncles Rick Laplander, Bob Laplander and Bill Landers, and my wonderful cousin Carol Pepin who left us much too soon. What a rich blessing they have all been in my life.

I got to spend time with Kevin Kyllonen, and what a wonderful young man! We had some really good laughs!!
Fly High Kevin...YOU deserve it!!! Go put on the BIG wings!

I'd like to remember my grandmother, Eva Durocher, who I believe passed away in May in 1972. All she ever wanted was to see my first child born, and she died a month and a half too soon. I still miss her. She was my card playing buddy as well as one of the nicest grandmothers anybody could ever have.

In Memory of Jerry DeMotts who passed away this week. He was a great boss who treated his employees with great respect. He was a wonderful person to work for. He was always their to help his staff out whenever needed on a busy day. I have so many great memories of the years that I worked for him. Mr."D"., May you rest in peace.

In loving memory of my mother, and the most wonderful grandmother of my eight children, JANE KATHLEEN KEIRAN, who died peacefully May 16'th 2008.
So happy that at least she had the last year and a half with my wife and I when we moved to the U.P.

Azfinn, Cousin Sue: Thanks for the loving, thoughtful memoriam for all my favorite Aunts & Uncles also and my Mom Ruth Smith who would have been 91 May 11. I always remember the tremendous and caring help your mother did for my mom, brother Bob and myself in those very trying days of WW2 before you were born. Bless them all--and you!
Despite the serious auto accident we had in March which turned our life upside down, we once again will try to make it to the Copper Country this summer to see the few relatives left there! It's been way too many years since being there. Thanks to, and remembering also my late mother-in-law Julie Holmes who left us her old car. Thanks to her we have a replacement at least for ours!
She was a long time pillar and resident of Roseville MI who would have been 96 on May 19. Bless her also.

In memory of Donna Nordstrom, who passed away this week after a couragous battle with pancreatic cancer. She is now pain free and with her son again. Rest in peace Donna. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

In memory of my dad Ken Armstrong who passed May 13,1993. Cant believe it is 15 years already. My favorite memory of my dad is us skipping rocks into the Mackinaw straights by the lighthouse. Seems like a lifetime ago.

In loving memory of our Danielle Lahti, labrador mix, who turned seventeen years old on May 10, 2008, and went to Heaven on May 17, 2008. In loving memory, also, of Princessa Lahti, dear little Chihuahua girl, who went to Heaven on March 31, 2008. Mom and Dad, you have a LOT of Lahti Doggie Angels up there with you and Rusty Holland, precious Cocker Spaniel, who went to Heaven on January 29, 2005. We all love you all and miss you so much!

In memory of Seney, a beagle mix, who crossed the Rainbow Bridge on May 29th at 5 pm. She would have been 13 on August 30th but suffered from Cushings for almost 6 years and may other health related problems, especially in the last six months. We miss you so much. Thanks for all the wonderful memories. You were our big girl.

I want to add my Nana, Ann Voelker, who passed away on May 28. She is now at peace in Heaven.

In memory of my Grandma Edith Jenich who passed away May 3, 1999. I can't believe it's been that long already :-(

For all the members of our military......

It's been 10 years since my mom passed and I still miss her terribly. Unconditional love is not easily found. God bless all of you for your thoughtfulness and the love you show others.
