On the weekend of Oct. 3-5, 2014 our family came together to celebrate the life of my dad.  Scott and Jenny flew in on Friday, as did Shelley. The next day ( Saturday) we went to Jonah's soccer game, went shopping, ate together and had a private Memorial tree/ balloon release ceremony with our family. It was very special, being together. Sunday- Haley and Hunter were baptized and at 2pm we had a memorial reception for dad.  The Domyslawsky's came, Pam & Rodger's families came, the Smith's came and Bonnie came.  Haley, all on her own, wrote a sweet letter about my dad and read it before we ate.  A whiffle ball game broke out later and the kids and parents had so much fun! It was a beautiful way to remember my dad!
