Love to you..........

Hello to everyone:
As many of you know, a couple years ago Dale and I moved his mother and step-dad in across the street so that I could become a more active care giver. They have both been handicapped for quite some time now. Well, this past Wed. (April 30th) my father-in-law passed away. I truly loved this man, and had many laughs with him over the years. I'll miss him dearly.
I tell you this because it brought to mind (as death always does) how little time we have together. I have no regrets for my time with him because we spent it together while we had the oppurtunity. His passing and all the emotions that go along with that have made me miss you all very much. I am SO looking forward to our reunion, and am dismayed that not everyone will be joining us. I realize the effort it takes to make the trip, but oh how worth it it is! I can't wait!!!

Fowler 2008 Reunion

Hi everybody,

Can you believe how fast this year is going?? It's only 3 months away until our 2008 Fowler Reunion. Now is the time to let me know of your travel plans (if you haven't already). What day/time are you arriving and do you need transportation from the airport/train station?? I'm so excited to have you all here. I have a few people who can only be here part of the week and they want to know what part of the week to make their plans for. So please give me a call or send me a email to let me know how long you'll be here (all week, only a few days??, etc.) I will be contacting Aunt Phyllis so we can decide what days we will get together in Tahoe and Pollock Pines. Hope everybody is doing well. I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Love Susan...

Just another quick note to my family. Julie's Mom, Alice Ruesch passed away Monday, March 10th after a short illness. Alice was 93 years old, but was still living independantly until the first part of February this year. Julie had spent the last several years looking in on her mom, taking her shopping, to the hairdresser, out for groceries. We had dinner together every Sunday. She will be greatly missed in our family. Remember us in your thoughts and prayers.

Rick, Julie and Sarah Gates

Hey everybody:
Just a quick note to thank you all for your prayers. I had successful surgery on Wednesday the 5th and came home the next evening. I am doing fine and look forward to what I hope is a quick recovery. Hugs and kisses to one and all.

Valentines Day

Sad news.........

Uncle Bill called me this evening. He and Aunt Phyllis went to Glenns apartment today and found him dead from heart failure. He was only 52. Bill asked that we all pray for their family during this difficult time.

This has been a tough day. Bills call came not long after a call from Dales family saying that his 48 yr. old cousin Jean Marie died today.

Lets all pray for peace of heart for our loved ones.
