Thank You

Last Tuesday morning I received a call from a very good long time friend of mine; Rick Fajen. We grew up together and he is now the Benton County Sherrif...when he calls at 7 a.m. you know something is probably not right. I know it was a tough call for him to make; my Dad passed away just over a week ago while working on his tractor; he would have been 83 this month...Rick; thank you.
My first call was to my wife; Baby thank you for taking care of me in this tough time...I don't know what I would do without you.
To our kids; Zach and Amira; your hugs mean more and heal more than you'll ever know.
They say life changes fast...sometimes we have no idea.
I had to make two more life changing calls to my Sister and my Brother; Sis and Cliff thank you for being such a great family...as tough as this time is; it is wonderful to have family like you to lean on. I am so blessed to have you guys.
To all of our families in our homes and extended families who did everything in their power to help; thank you is not enough.
The list can go on and on; great friends from where I grew up; great friends in the KCLY Community; to all of you thank you for a handshake, a call, a hug, a kind word, a card and for so many kind thoughts and prayers.
To our crew at KCLY; thank you for stepping in and doing whatever it took as I left at the drop of the hat to go back 'home'.
To so many; thank you for the cards, flowers, plants and memorials.
To those who shared stories of my Dad; conversations, events and memories; thank you! Those are simply priceless.

To my Mother and Daddy; I Love You Both So Much...thank you for being who each of you were; for loving each other, for loving us, for loving life and for showing us such strong character in your lives.
I hope I've paid attention.
