Another month has come and gone, along with some of our friends and loved ones. We take this last day of June to quietly remember those we have lost:

Beautiful picture!

Remembering my father Herman F. Sturm he would of been 71 yesterday. I miss n love u so much Dad!

Remembering Betty L. Sturm who lost her battle with cancer on 6/14/10 R.I.P. Aunt Betty.

Remembering Charles Thomas Caldwell who would of been 90 years old today. Until we meet in Heaven Grandpa.

Wonderful picture!

Remembering my mom's best friend of 75 years this month. Jean Judnich (her maiden name), grown and raised in Lake Linden playing softball with my mom, passed away on June 2nd. My mom was devastated as they were making plans for her visit this week and next for their class reunion. They always went together. She was going to spend time with my mom at her house and my mom was just so excited. They didn't find out until last week that she had passed. May she rest in peace.

Also remembering Laurel Zechlinski (llamamama) who passed away one year ago on June 10th. I feel like I have a guardian angel watching over me. We miss her so much:(

On the last day of each month it often comes as a surprise to hear of the passing of folks associated with Pasty Central through the years. Claire Cashell was a lady well known by our Pasty.NET support staff, as a very active senior in the computer arena, always interested in learning more about the Internet as the years advanced. Margaret Limback was one of our pasty makers at Still Waters years ago as this online project got started. And finally, Peter Torola was well known to so many in the Copper Country. Our condolences to his wife Ellen, whose paintings grace many homes and businesses here in the Keweenaw.

I would also like to add a remembrance for Laurel. She was such a special person to many of us that never even met her. We will always miss her.

Remembering Joseph Faulkner.

Remembering my uncle Roger Lundquist of Escanaba. We just laid him to rest this week. I'm very sad that he's gone but I know he is now resting comfortably in a better place.

Remembering my dear Grandmother, Mary Horbenko, who passed away last June at age 99. I miss you and love you always!

I miss Laurel also. Would love to just once more hear the wonderful stories of Elmer and the other llamas. Never met her in person, but knew her so well. Her passing left a hole in my heart. Everytime I have blue berries I think of her.

Remembering my friend Laurel, still miss the morning discussions on all things wrong with work. The Countess of Chemicals had a never ending job keeping order. And remember, llamas are not food!
Mr. Deb

Remembering my Dad, John Axel Carlson, he would of been 91 on 7-24-2010, my In-laws Glen and Alice Bergstrom of Iron River, Michigan, beloved sister-in-law Karen Nan Bergstrom Vlamis, and one of my best friends from Suomi, Wayne Miller Carlson of Escanaba.

I'm missing my Mom, who would have been 100 years old on June 2, 2010! I love you Mom. I wish you could see my three sons now. You would be so proud of all of them! Yes, you never even knew I was pregnant with my youngest son. I love you and miss you!

Remembering our parents Norman and Helen Pooley, Ed and Sophie Kuusisto, Aunt Lyle Pooley, Karen Kuusisto, Janet Trasti, our good buddy Nitz Kumpula, our nephew the "Chief" Churchill, our sweet niece Bailey Hartmann, our brother in law and friend Wayne Hartmann and our dear sweet little girl Annie Kuusisto who left us a year yesterday. We love and miss you all so much.

Thinking of my Kitty "Pharoah" who had to leave us on Monday. He was a great companion! Also, my friend Patrick Tesner's father Doug who passed yesterday morning....been a rough week in TC. Doug was a long time Navy man...The Blue Angels are in town this week...I'd like to think it was in his honor!

Missing my Father-in-law, Allen R. Cogan, who passed on the 13th of this month, only 26 day's after my Mother-in-law passed. Also my Sister-in-law Deborah Cogan who passed on the 19th of June,2008.

Remembering my grandma, Mary Butala who passed away June, 1976. Still think of her and miss her.

Remembering my boxer dog Matty, who died 3 years ago this month.

Remembering all of the pets waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge, including my best friend, "Weedy", best shelter dog in the world. :(

Love the pictured rocks scene and scripture. Who did that? Lake Superior inspires me to sing praises to God for His beautiful creation every time I stand on her shores! God loved us so much he created the beauty we call earth, the trees, the lake, the sky... just for our pleasure... Thank you Lord for your goodness to us! It is so awesome to know that those who knew the Lord that have passed on are experiencing even greater wonders in heaven right now. I believe my mansion will be by a lake just like Superior! With lots of pine trees and flowers, (except a little warmer water). Thankfully we will one day join those who have passed and we will all worship the Most High God forever, and ever, and ever, and ever and ever...

Remembering Chuck Truscott. This is a sad day for those of us 'boatnerds' who visit Pasty. A dear and devoted friend from that site passed away this morning after a long battle with cancer. He grew up on Mackinaw Island and often contributed interesting tidbits from years past. Even though many of us never met him, we feel as if we knew him and he'll be greatly missed. Sail on in God's care, Chuck!

Remembering my great-grandmother Hilda Kytomaki Peterson who died 44 years ago on June 2. Every time I would visit her, she would give me a bright shiny dime.

Remembering Mom and Dad (Grandpa Norm). Miss them very much! Dad would have been 85 this July 11!

What a gorgeous picture. Thank you. And thank you again Walt.

Remembering Pastor Lowell Fox who had the churches at Ensign, Cooks, Garden and Isabella until he retired several years ago. He also was the interim pastor for us at the Watson Bible Chapel. He was 87 years old. Also a dear friend, Ray Pratt Sr. from Cornell, who passed away June 15, 2010. He was the bass man for the Country Wheels band. He bravely fought cancer for a year and a half.

Remembering several Episcopalians who left us in Junes past: Jan Armstrong, Trinity, Houghton, in June, 2008; Fred Kellow, St. Peter's by the Sea, Eagle Harbor, and Bishop James Kelsey, Diocese of Northern Michigan, in June, 2007; and Grace Brown, Trinity, in June, 1997. Gracie, not a day goes by that I don't think of you at least once.
