Some good times with Lou & Garrett (my life)
We went on a four wheeling ride, up by my Dad & Lisas house.(Birdseye)
We went kite flying down by Utah Lake. Lou & Garrett decided to have a dance in the middle of the road.
Some days are way harder than others. The smallest thing can make me cry. One minute I'm fine the next I'm not. I'm not a big fan of crying at Walmart. I swear strangers thought Mike beats me or something. Ha Ha he doesn't. (This is referring to the Walmart experience.) I have been trying to distract myself, taking up hobbies, crafts & such. It doesn't always work, but it helps. I know that some of you will have to experience this kind of pain & heartache (or may have all ready) but I hope you never have to. I have changed my view on many many things. Some things are a lot more important now, some not so important. I'm hoping to move forward in my life. Live it to the fullest, & be truly happy. I have made the first step by resigning as General Manager at Wingers( I work too much. Around 50 hours a week, why work that much when you don't need to?) & I think I will just be a part time Manager now. I love all the people that work there so so much. They are all my best friends. I don't know what I would do without them in my life. They all have been so amazing through this. They all knew her too, she worked there about a year ago. (Actually less than that) They still would have known her even if she hadn't, she was constantly visiting Chels, Ty, me & eating pasta. Jeez I miss that. Anyways... I love Wingers, & I'm sure I wouldn't have worked there as long if it weren't for my friends. I am going part time so it won't be my first priority, it shouldn't be. I want to be able to have a life, be with friends, family & Mike more. I want to be able to work on my photography. I enjoy it a lot. Focus on me, do things that make me happy. I think it will be a good step. One day at a time... right?

A comforting poem from a family member. (my life)
In memory of Lou (Shalice Henrie)
SAFELY HOME
I am home in Heaven, dear ones, Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty, in this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over, every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever, safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder, I so calmly, trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! but Jesus' love illumined, every dark and fearful glade.
And he came himself to meet me, in that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on, could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely, for I love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond Earth's shadows, pray to trust our Father's will.
There is work still waiting for you, so you must not idly stand;
Do it now while life remaineth - you shall rest in Jesus' land.
When that work is all completed, he will gently call you Home;
Oh! the rapture of that meeting, Oh! the joy to see you come!
Until that day when we all meet again, farewell, not goodbye, just farewell Lou. Love from your family.

A letter my dad wrote... ( my life)
My beautiful Family.(dads side) 2-6-10
My happy little Lou Lou.
My dads letter.
My dad is one of the best men in the whole entire world. He has amazing strength & has been such a rock through all of this. I love you dad.
Life is too short. (my life)
I don't know how I would get through this without my amazing husband Mike. He knew her for 10 years. He loved her almost as much as I do. He has been so supportive. I just want to say thanks to my family & friends too. I'm ok when I am surrounded by all of them, it's the late nights that are the hardest. I know this is just the beginning of the struggle, but I will get through it with my family & lots & lots of prayer. I can't wait to see you again someday Lou. I miss you so bad. I love you whole world. xoxoxoxo- Channy
Lou.......my baby sis. I love you whole world, miss you, & can't wait to see you again. (my life)
Death’s Darkness Dispelled
Death eventually comes to all humankind. It comes to the aged as they walk on faltering feet. Its summons is heard by those who have scarcely reached midway in life’s journey, and often it hushes the laughter of little children. Death is one fact that no one can escape or deny.
Frequently death comes as an intruder. It is an enemy that suddenly appears in the midst of life’s feast, putting out its lights and gaiety. Death lays its heavy hand upon those dear to us and at times leaves us baffled and wondering. In certain situations, as in great suffering and illness, death comes as an angel of mercy. But for the most part, we think of it as the enemy of human happiness.
The darkness of death, however, can ever be dispelled by the light of revealed truth.
“I am the resurrection, and the life,” spoke the Master. “He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
“And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.”1
