Faith is never fully understood, Until you experience strife. And grace is never really known, Until you experience life. Hope has fuller meaning, When you experience loss. And wisdom comes with time, Of bearing grief's heavy cross. So today I claim those virtues, For what I'm going through. I've lost my only daughter, I think I've paid my dues. May 18, 2002 |

Some lessons should never have to be taught or learned. But you learned the most important lesson of life quite well, you learned how to share unconditional pure LOVE. Please keep passing that lesson on down the line. |

Excellently worded and once again I commend your insight! "Faith is the ASSURED expectation of things hoped for, the EVIDENT demonstration of reality though not beheld!" |

I'm so, so sorry. I don't know what happened exactly, but this isn't fair for you to have to deal with. From a daugther's point of view- I know how my parents would feel... *hugs* Jenn Why is it that we are at our most ingenius only when trying to destroy the things that keep us alive and thriving? |

Mr. Chadwick, Ms. Chadwick was the greatest teacher ever, she bonded with everyone in and out of her classes. I had the pleasure of being in her class twice a day (2nd & 4th period) She was probably everyone's favorite teacher, I know she was mine...I can promise you that on monday when we heard the news ther wasn't an eye in the room that wasn't full of tears. Ms. Chadwick got closer to me than any other teacher ever has, before her I was always closed up towards my teachers, but with her I could tell her anything if I had the time to. Ms. Chadwick was funny, kind & caring, trustworthy, respectful, honest, awesome, radical, and just all out cool! She was always smiling and brought joy and happiness to all her classes. Her love will be with us forever, locked up into our hearts, T.J. Knutson |

Thank you all. Shelly you know how much you mean to me. TJ...words will never express how much your response soothes my soul.
