It's hard to believe we're already at the end of the month, let alone the end of the year. But here we are, pausing from our usual daily Pasty Cam, with a northern sunset reflection as we recall those folks that have gone on before us. This month we remember:

May God be with each and every Pasty-cammer and their families as we enter this New Year. HNY, gang!

Remembering my Aunt Virgina (Schwartz) Oshmilaski, She was also my God-Mother. 8/24/1920-12/19/1999. Praying for all of the famlies of the children and teachers, of the Sandy Hook School.

Remembering with lots of love, precious memories, and tears, Brody my baby Scottish Terrier who we said goodbye to Dec. 19, 2012. Forever happiness, no longer suffering.

Please remember the servicemen who have made the ultimate sacrifice this month.Anthony J Denier 26,Darren M Linde 41,Tyler J Orgaard 20,Wesley R Williams 25,Nelson D Trent 37,Michael J Guillory 28,Nicholas J Reid 26,Kevin E Lipari 39,Job W Price 42,Enrique Mondragon 23.Killed 6,652.Wounded 50,387.

Remembering all those who left us this year of 2012. May they rest in peace.

My Army buddy Rodger Beatty who kept me sane during our Army days. Also Jim Gareau from Hubbell a childhood friend. My grandma Julia DuLong who was born on Jan. 01 1870. Aunt Elenor who made the best meat balls. And the dirty old man who will remain nameless.

Sadly going into another new year without my husband/best friend.
Also remembering all the dear little 'Pasty' pets who crossed the Rainbow Bridge this year, including Joey, Brody and Sika. Warm hugs to those who weep for them.

Remembering our parents Norman and Helen Pooley, Ed and Sophie Kuusisto, Aunt Lyle Pooley, our sister in law and dear friend Phyllis Kuusisto, Karen Kuusisto, Janet Trasti, our good buddy Nitz Kumpula, our nephew “The Chief” Churchill, our sweet niece Rosie Churchill, Our niece Bailey Hartmann, our brother in law and friend Wayne Hartmann our sister and best friend Flo Hartmann and our dear sweet baby girl Annie Kuusisto.

Remembering my Dad, George Kentala. Second New Year's Day without you. Think about you every day. I'll have a couple for you tonight.

Former Yooper now living in CT, I wanted to thank all of you who are praying for and remembering the lives lost on that tragic day 12/14/12 in Newtown. It is comforting to know that, although you copper country residents are far away, your thoughts and concerns have reached out to us here in CT and are appreciated more than words can say. Thank you and may God bless you all.

Wishing all a Happy and Blessed 2013! And I'm remembering Ralph Wilson who passed away December 25th, 2011. My "sort of" Stepdad and always a friend. Those we love don't go away....they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near.....still loved, still missed and very dear.

I don't post often but have read this website each morning for over a decade. I want to add a rememberance for my mom who passed away suddenly and unexpectedly saturday evening, six days before her 88th birthday. She was a strong, adventurous woman who had introduced her children to the UP and specifically the Keeweenaw with her favorite spot being Eagle River. She was disappointed this fall when she did not feel up to making the trip however I went anyway and provided her with many photos. She was looking forward to next year's annual trek and planning what all she wanted to do while there. In memory of Jean Harsh, mother, grandmother (to kids and pets), friend and role model. We are so empty right now....

I'm remembering my dad who passed away in December of 08.
Still miss him terribly. Remembering the people CT who lost
their lives. And all of our pets, my tippy, Janie's Brody,
Joanie's Joey, and all the other pets who crossed over. We
miss them terribly too.

Great picture today.

Happy New Year to all. May Peace come to the world this year!

Deb, I'm so sorry I left your Tippy out of my (above) list. I should have remembered because I have a Tippy also.

In memory of my Dad, David Baird, who went to be with God December 22, 1995.

Wishing peace for everyone. A tough month. I used to live in Newtown, CT and my children attended Sandy Hook Elementary from 1987-1989. It is a lovely community full of warm and loving people. It is a testament to the good people of Newtown that even though we lived there for only 2 1/2 years, I still count a number of people as friends, even met up in NYC with one this past June. My heart still hurts. The same day, Dec. 14th, my much loved Westie, Harry, was diagnosed with terminal bladder cancer. He is only 8 1/2 and we hoped to have him much longer. The only good news is that he is not in pain at this time and we hope to have several good months. For those who lost loved ones, human or animal, I'm sorry. Tomorrow starts a new year. Can't wait.

I forgot about the Capt & Dr's pet kitty. Remembering her, also!!

I also had a really good bowler friend who was diagnosed with leukemia 6 weeks ago and passed away on the 22nd. She will be missed by her husband, 5 daughters, 9 grandchildren, parents, sister and fellow bowlers :-(

Remembering my dad, John Ravasz who passed away Dec 6, 2003.

It's 2013, everybody.

Happy New Year

happy new year....

Congratulations, Thomas, you hit the New Year right on the button! :)
