The song on this page was your favorite one. Everytime you called in to your favorite radio station to talk to "Roundguy" you would ask him to play you some Ozzy. This was the song you always wanted. "Roundguy" did tributes to you all week. The morning of the funeral he played this for you. We also played it in the church when they were taking you out. What an appropriate song  to escort you out. This page is in tribute to all the things you loved so much

 

Remember your monkey--monkeybunks? That stuffed animal went everywhere you went. Because of the surgery you had at the age of 3 weeks it put you a little behind. Grandma Shipp took munkeybunks and put velcro on his hands. That way he could help hold your bottle for you if I was busy. After you died, I found monkeybunks in a box. I will treasure him forever. I also have your little blue quilted blanket grandma made you.

I will always remember our trip to Hawaii. You loved the beach and just being there. Do you remember when we went to the top of the island and made our tribute to our family? We have 5 rocks piled on top of each other. Each symbolizes a member of our family. I think of how that is there and remember those days shared on the island.

 

fishing with grandpa

 

do you remember when you spent time at grandpa and grandma's with the girls. everyone had been swimming at the pool so the towels were in grandma's bathroom. Grandpa was down in the kitchen grinding coffee beans in the electric grinder, grandma was busy trying to get organized again after the swim. After all there was you, Amber, Letti. Fabi. That was a handful for grandma and grandpa.

While grinding coffee beans, grandpa decided he wanted to see how the beans were doing and he took off the lid. Beans and gounds went all over grandma's kitchen. The girls were being girls, and grandma was freaking out about the condition of her kitchen. About that time you came into the kitchen to tell grandma there was a frog in her bathroom. Grandma and grandpa didn't know what to think of what you said about there being a frog in the bathroom. But at that time they thought it was just your imagination, besides they had a mess to clean up.

Later when grandma went to gather the towels to take to the laundry room~~~~ surprise!!!! a frog in her bathroom. I will never forget that little story.
