A million thanks for welcoming Rachel to Ireland and taking care of her for a few days! She had an amazing time with you and your family and is counting the days until she sees you again. I hope you and John will visit San Diego some time…"

"Hi Tina,
Nice to hear from you. I just met Jake at a fellowship by the bay on Sunday. He seems like a great guy. I'm looking forward to getting to know him better-- my nephew Blake just moved into the home where he lives so I'm sure I'll be seeing…"
So nice to hear from you! Great to see a picture of you and Ted and to hear that you're doing well. Wonderful that you have family around you and can enjoy sweet fellowship together. Knoxville is a beautiful area isn't it? I did some…"

Dear Trish
Thank you for your lovely message :)
Weren't those great times that we shared in Emporia..
We had the mystery in motion Trish..living in love and devotion.
I love your photos,and your daughter is stunning!
God bless you ... :) Love you lots :)
Funny bunny! I vaguely remember cats named Saffron and Seymour, 'cause you just ooooozed loooove over any dumb animal that moved (including me!) but no, not allergic, never have been (I'm thinking Lisa. as I know how Alzheimer's works, picks closest suspects) I have three cats (many others over the years. Before I moved in with you in Ogden, I had Fugi Kapesta (this Polish guy told me that was an expletive in Polish), then Shaka Zulu, Casper, now Bella, Kativa (ask that Italian husband of yours what that means!) and Cocoa.
I want to see your pictures, do you want to see mine? I have you and me in flannel shirts, Buddy, Don, Becky and me, Don in his overalls working on a car! Sheesh, we really do have memories! Whatever I don't remember, please tell me, and I'll try to do the same. Your daughter is sooo beautiful, and so you!
If nothing else, it would be a hoot to surprise Jon and Lisa and make them remember and laugh!
Trish, hate to be a pesta, but I am now somewhat addicted to this site and having repressed memory syndrome! Remember Jon and Lisa? Wasn't it Jon and Lisa Ryan? On the part of this web site where's waldo, someone said they are state coordinators of Indiana -- still? Is an intervention needed? Are they our wonderful babes from Ogden? 'member how goofy Lisa was and intense all at the same time. And Jon, he was just a teddy bear! Can these State Cordinators (Limb) be our very own utsies?
trish Trish Trish I finally found you!! And you have a beautiful bambini! Yes she is as beautiful as you and a little Italian thrown in, always a good spice to add. Although I must admit you were one spicy meatball all by yourself!
Hey I forgot your married name, knew it started with a b and ended with a vowel (as so many Italian names do!) So good to see you and that gorgeous smile. I'm gonna post some of our pictures from Utah so you can see how little you have changed. I'll never forget those little "hands" of yours when you got excited like finding that sleigh bed! Such an imp and an elf! 'Member Don and Dale and all the gang? A magical time.
Michael, Whats happening ? You're right, it's been too long. Brenda and I were trying to remember, she says maybe 16 years. Good friends are hard to come by, and we've always considered you and Trish to be dear to us. Thank you for the kind words about fatherhood. I think I'm a pretty good Dad, but I'm sure you'd get a different response from my girls. They do know that all boys are bad ( at least until they're 18 ). That I can only win an argument by threatening to take their cell phone away if they don't agree with me. And that I look really confused when I'm helping them with their math homework and the answer is a letter. I don't know if you remember, but we tried to have children for 12 years. Even on a bad day I have been blessed beyond anything I could have imagined. God bless! I'll call ya. Later.....
Hey, God bless you. This is Karol. So great to see you and Michael and WOW what a beautiful daughter! Tracy and I talk about you often. You do still look the same! Give my love to Michael.
Hi Trish, You look great. Good to see you on this site. San Diego? Great place, was just there in Dec. Nice family pictures.You all take care, Bless you, Steve
