Dear Friends

This sunday we say goodby to "Braden"..............or will we?
It all depends how individuals feel about death. My father was buried in september 1964 and yet quite often I feel his presence near me, I have vivid dreams of him being close to me I feel his warmth his influence and most important his love for me and my family.Same goes for Dan my father in law. Although he passed away the end of 2001 I share with him all my successes in my business as well as family (as if he is sitting at my kitchen table with me). Death is the saddest thing that happens in life if viewed as a total disappearance but if you can instead think of the time you had with the person during his/hers lifetime all of it on display in your mind regardless of its content then you can consider continuing that lifeline.
Since the tragedy occured Ihave tried to focus on the happy moments I remember Braden having a blast and it was in the early nineties when we were having SRE's Christmas yearly party at my house and he and his older brother kept walking up the stairs and slide down on their butt while lifting their feet as if they were skiing.They must have repeated this a million times (or so it seems) or that is the way I like to replay it in my mind.........................do it one more time for me this Sunday Braden! ...........do it for all of us we love to remember and see you having fun.
