Good morning! WOW! The sunset picture in 1999 was absolutely spectacular! Thank you!


By Beverly, San Jose (Beverly) on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 - 07:42 am:

It is with great sadness that I tell you that my daughter Kathina's husband Des died suddenly and I wanted my family and friends in the Bootjack Area and Baraga who are on vacation and relatives that live there to know. This is the only way I have of reaching them during the summer. So I hope they are reading the PastyCam.


By Deb S. (Usedtobeayooper) on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 - 07:45 am:

Beverly, Once again you, Kathina and the rest of the family have my sincerest sympathy.


By Alex "UP-Goldwinger" (Alex) on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 - 07:46 am:

As many times as I have been to Copper Harbor, I have never gone to the tip of the Keweenaw. I tried it one time but got lost and the road was so bad, I had to turn around and go back.

Does anyone know of a good route to get there?


By Alex "UP-Goldwinger" (Alex) on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 - 07:50 am:

Condolences Bev...I hope the word gets out.


By Beverly, San Jose (Beverly) on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 - 07:51 am:

Thank you Miss Deb, this is harder than I believed possible. Beverly


By Deb S. (Usedtobeayooper) on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 - 08:00 am:

We'll be praying that you all, especially Kathina, will be able to get through this awful time.


By Cindy Pihlaja Russell (Gone2long) on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 - 08:04 am:

Oh, my, Bev, that is sad news. You and your daughter and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.


By Janie T. (Bobbysgirl) on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 - 08:20 am:

Beverly, my thoughts and wishes of sympathy to your daughter and family! God Bless you at this time of sorrow! :(


By Janie T. (Bobbysgirl) on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 - 08:25 am:

Alex...we made it to the "tip" by snowmobile, probably not your preference of transportation tho.


By Shirley Waggoner (Shirlohio) on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 - 08:34 am:

Condolences to you, your daughter and your whole family, during this very sad time, Beverly. May God give you comfort.


By Pennie (Trolldiva) on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 - 08:44 am:

Beverly, I'll be thinking of your family.


By Joanne Sherrick (Shedoesnails) on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 - 09:12 am:

Beverly,May you find comfort in all the people who are thinking and praying for you at this difficult time. I pray that the news reaches your family.Just a thought in the death of a emergency such as this you can contact local police in that area and they will contact your family for you If you have a location for them.


By Michael Du Long (Mikie) on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 - 09:39 am:

By Dunerat (Dunerat) on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 - 09:42 am:

Beverly, may God's peace and comfort surround Kathina and your whole family. We're praying for you all in this difficult time.


By maija in Commerce Township (Maija) on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 - 09:45 am:

Alex,
Took a trip w my cousin once, a 'local' who fishes and explores everywhere, knows every nook and cranny, yet we never made it to the tip either. So don't feel bad!


By Cindy Pihlaja Russell (Gone2long) on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 - 11:32 am:

I've been to the end, but it was probably in 1976 because I remember hearing the song "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" on the radio as we were boondocking our way through the woods. Since the Edmund Fitzgerald sunk on 11/10/75 and it was not winter when I went there, it had to be the following summer. Very beautiful place.


By Cindy Pihlaja Russell (Gone2long) on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 - 11:33 am:

Oops! Sank, not sunk...


By Fran in GA (Francesinga) on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 - 11:56 am:

By Charlotte, Mishawaka, IN (Charlotte61) on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 - 12:46 pm:

Beverly, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.


By Beverly, San Jose (Beverly) on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 - 06:14 pm:

I want to thank each and every one of you for your kind words, support and prayers for the passing of my son-in-law. He will be very much missed by all who knew him and I am sure he is in a much better place than he was on earth. Again, your sympathy is very much appreciated. Love, Beverly and Kathina


By Kathina Stoneson (Kthecute1) on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 - 10:19 pm:

I would like to thank everyone for this wonderful outreach of love & support.

Des was the love of my life. I know what we shared together was precious & rare. We did everything together & he was my very best friend.

Both Des & my Mom, Beverly were cut from the same cloth. He was a storyteller, and had a heart of gold. When he smiled he lit up the room, and when he held me I was home.

We went from rich to poor, and it only made us stronger knowing that our love was the best & only thing that no one could ever take away from us. It only made us stronger. We enjoyed every moment we shared over the last 18 years, & I really wasn't finished with him yet when God chose to take him back home. He was only 48 years old, and taken from me way too soon.

I am just going moment by moment right now, staying focused on taking care of Des last wishes, and taking care of myself. He needs me to be okay.

I have Des' spirit and God to guide me, and with that I will learn to go forward and start living all over again, this time on my own.

I Thank all of you for your love, prayers & support at this very difficult time.

xo Kathina

Ps; I love you Mommy.


By Deb S. (Usedtobeayooper) on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 - 10:25 pm:

Kathina, That was so beautifully written that it brought tears to my eyes. God bless you during this painful time in your life. What a wonderful man he must have been to have been loved so deeply. You remain in my thoughts and prayers.
Deb

Kathina,Thank you for sharing with us your thoughts and feelings at such a difficult time.
As you try and get some rest tonight remember you are not alone so many people are thinking of you,praying for you and will be here If only to listen......He is not far away listen with your heart and you will feel his love all around you.


By Mary Drew at Pasty Central (Mdrew) on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 - 10:42 pm:

Kathina~You sound so strong and so proud to have loved and been loved by this man in your life. One of the lucky ones to have loved so deeply. May God bless you and help you to stay strong, keeping Des in your heart with you forever. My deepest sympathy to you, your Mom and the rest of your family.
