{ I'll Never Forget Your Mother }

Dear Collin, Gavin, Elijah,
We want you to know how much we love all of you! We also want you to know how much we loved Laura. She was only in our family for a short years but she made a big impact on our family. I have alot of fun memories of you mother. Your Mom was crazy and fun! Befor your mom and dad got married the came to our house and gave us the worst prank ever! They took off alot of the labels of the cans so we couldn't tell if we had green beans or pinneapple, tomato soup or cream of chicken. They put spaghetti in our TOOTHPASTE, and they taped our hose so that when we turned on the faust it sprayed us. As you know it was very unlike your dad, we knew it had to be that fun influence of your mother. I think she got your dad to do things that he would have never done, she was a blast! Another fun thing was shortly after they were married they came to our house and my sisters and I were dying hair and she let us dye her hair. She wasn't affraid to let us do whatever she had enough self confidence to just live life and enjoy it! I loved watching her be a mother to Gavin and Lijah. She loved them alot and she was so proud to show you to us and she delighted to see us hold you and love you! We went to the Oregon Coast together as a family and camped at Independance Lakes. I enjoyed listening to her play the guitar. She shared some recipes with me that I will have to post sometime. Most of all I want you to know what a wonderful, fun mom you had. That she loved you very much and loved being your mother. She enjoyed having you near her all the time. This is what comes to mind right now. We love you and will never forget you!
