Thank you Delta



When Steve applied for Delta they asked him how long he planned on working for them. He said "my wife will never let me quit". I'm pretty sure that is why he got hired, and at least he was being honest because I probably wont....... EVER let him quit. ha ha

Grandma Hafen


I can't imagine a world without you here
Luckily I know you will always be near.
 
 
There are so many memories, where to begin
You were more than just a Grandma, more than a friend.

You were the center of our universe and will always be....
Forever in our lives, a constant memory.

Your advice and support helped us all through
the good times and bad, what are we going to do without you?

We're going to try to be strong and faithful as well,
so we can all return to Heaven with you and not "Oh... hell".

We're going to shower people with compliments, like you always did.
Tell them “we're proud and that they’re such a good kid!”

Whenever we see anyone we’ll also tell them they're cute
And tell ourselves not forget to say shit, damn, or hell sometimes instead of just "shoot".


 We're going to spend weekends in Pinto and still flood the lawn.
Sit by the campfire, roast mellows and wish you weren't gone.
 
 
We'll play pinochle and zilch and be thinking of you
And your constant love which will still get us through.
 
 
Speaking of love, your love for the Jazz will not die alone.
I'll never forget you crushing on Karl Malone.
 
 
You last words of advice I'll also remember forever--
"You don’t have to be in bed to have fun".
You were always so clever.
 
 
And no matter the occasion you'd bust into tears
Birthdays, proms, graduations, any family gatherings over the years.

Those sweet tears you would cry on a daily basis
if we collected them all, we'd have our own oasis.

Constant family get-togethers will not be the same,
I'm afraid without your humor they might get a bit lame.

Off course the holidays are going to be really hard...
Christmas Eve program, coloring eggs, and the pumpkin carve.

Are just a few of the many Family Traditions we'll cherish always
And will remember you Grandma with utter amaze.

The example you set we will all try to continue.
Grandma Hafen Patterson we sure do miss and love you!!!


I grew up spending weekends in Pinto with this bunch. It was really just me and the boys but because I have gotten so close to Magen we finally included her (ha ha ha)

 
The Funeral went amazing. It was filled with memories and laughter.
We released 100 balloons and they headed straight for Pinto. Coincidence.... I don't think so
