Garry Lee Stephens Tribute

16 APRIL - Happy 45th birthday son.
We thought of you today, but that is nothing new; we thought about you yesterday and days before that too. We think of you in silence. We often speak your name. All we have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, from which will never part. God has you in his keeping, we have you in our hearts, forever, ma and pa

So, last night I wrote volumes here and as in the past didn't click the right button so you are the only one who got to see the words from my heart. We got to spend time with Trevor, Maddie and Brady in January. Trevor is doing quite well playing his saxaphone. Maddie took Tink up to her room, like before, and like before you sent the ladybug, which came down on your sister's hair to join us, and it flew from me to her and back again. Thanks for that memory. Dad has some physical problems, which as you might recall, really messes with him and slows him down big time. I try to stay busy with computer classes and volunteer work. You have more company this year up in your beloved resting place, our Angel, beloved pet for 12 years has joined you, as you continue to help her learn the trick of 'rolling over', which we know she just loved. Lucy and Eddie Frantz, and Jacque Vaughters and also Don and Gladys Powell have joined your angel friends also. We have connected with many from the church on the web site Facebook, and did learn that God chose to heal Carol Trevan's cancer, so she may continue to bless all those who know and love her. Her family is well and growing in leaps and bounds. Dan married and that was an event indeed. The veterans cemetery in Dixon, where we laid you to rest is so very beautiful now, with arches and fountains and wandering paths. Tink and I spent lots of time there in January when the Wreaths Across America were on the headstones. What a glorious site to behold. We took pictures around your "14" row. So today marks the second year without you here on earth but you are always on my mind. We love you unconditionally dear son. Mom
