Remembering Laurel Zechlinski who died on June 10th at the young age of 53. She left us far too soon. I hope she's got a lot of animals to take care of because that is what she loved. We all really miss her.

I would like to take a moment to ask that everyone remember all who died this past week. Also Please Dear Lord keep in your loving arms all of the poor souls that were lost this past June. I keep in my prayers and thoughts that each passing is to better understand your plan for us all.

Walter:

Thank you for keeping us reminded of the price of freedom we all enjoy. On this upcoming 4th of July, along with the personal losses we all face, keep those in mind who have paid the ultimate sacrifice over the years so we may enjoy the fun, family, and freedoms we celebrate on that day and every day throughout the year.

Helsinki's Booming!

I get am subscribed to a regular email, and this was one recent one:

Death does not exist. The soul lives forever and ever, and even forever more.

Has someone you know and loved died recently? Celebrate that person's Continuation Day! They have moved in Consciousness and Beingness to a place of wonderful renewal and remembering, where all that we have "forgotten" here is once more understood and experienced. It is a time of great happiness.

And know, too, that you will be seeing that beloved person again, and you will laugh and dance and sing and hug and smile and talk endlessly about "the good old days," and you will share an even larger kind of love than you could ever know upon the Earth, and all of both of your lives will suddenly make sense as you see how you shaped an important part of each other's Journey. And it will be a Blessing, this enhanced awareness, and you will abide in peace and joy.

My heart is with Claire's family...especially her children whom she loved so much. Claire was the nicest person you could ever ask for. Kind, generous, sweet spirted and always with a smile......she is missed by all who knew her.

FIGHT FOR A BREAST CANCER CURE....

God Bless each and everyone of you.....

Rick Gunther. AKA..Party Pal. We lost a good one.

Remembering Wayne Velmer of L'Anse, who died on June 15th at the age of 48. Left his wife and a young son. He was the drummer of the Polka Drifters band. When I first started with Wilho Kilpela, Wayne was his drummer, almost 12 years ago. He died of brain cancer. Let's keep his family in our prayers.

Remembering all of those brave young and women who have given their lifes over the years fighting for our freedom. Another year without my dad (Gideye) and mother not around to be with.
Miss them and love them very much.
Also Mavis Pietila(Kallio)who left us much to early; may she rest in heaven. The picture is just beautiful; just got back from home and spent a lot of days fishing on Portage.

Happy Birthday Kristina Louise Wilkins!
