I'll never forget meeting "Pepper" in Accounting class. So smart and intelligent......a rare genius. Always walking in and saying "Hey all you beautiful people". He would make me smile even on a crappy day.

Pepper, I'll miss you. I can't believe I won't hear your voice saying "Hey trouble" next semester. You would of made a difference in the business world and no doubt very successful. Who am I going to compete with in class now? I tell you what Pepper, every A from here on is dedicated to you my friend.

Your presence had an impact on my life. Thank you.

I live across the street from Chris. We met after he shot a hole in my bedroom window with his pellet gun during target shooting. We had a lot of talks on my front porch after that first encounter about airplanes and the space shuttle since I was involved most of my life in the aircraft industry. I will really miss his waves to me every time he left in his car for school and work and his visits. He was a great kid who left us way to early.

Barbara you are a woman with a great capacity for love and
generosity. You, your home, life and
heart open to those that crossed your path.

You offered shelter, nourishment of body and soul and a safe
place to rest and recharge. When someone
came to you without hesitation you opened your door.

Christopher you have been described as brother by others
someone to reach out to when they needed a friend. Your
energy and creative spirit touched many lives.

The bonds of
brotherhood are a lifetime achievement, to be held close and treasured.

Lives well lived and celebrated - The Blue Mesa is the place
that I expect your souls will fly at its highest.
