Brent, sorry to hear about your daughter.    Sounds like a very caring and compassionate young lady.  

Lynda Legg (Griffiths)

Brent So very sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter.  Losing a child is heartbreaking, my thoughts are with you and your family.

Brent Barnum

Thank you all for your expressions of love and support. My parents were fairly young when they died. All three of my brothers have passed on. But it is a particularly hard pain when your child dies.

As we all are entering the winter of our lives, I say gird up your loins. But also revel in this time. We have the advantage of 65 years under our belts. And with that, much wisdom and hope for better tomorrows. I always remind myself that there are great lessons to be learned in life that can only come from these exquisite trials.

Love and joy to all of you!

Brent

Brent, So sorry to hear of your loss.  You are truly a class act!  Great words of encouragement even though you are struggling so.  I think of you every time I see the newspaper ads for Media One.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.

Charlotte, So good to see you back.  Don't be pissed, soooo much wasted energy.  We are all entitled to our opinions and if we can at least learn something from someone else's, then we are better for that.  We don't always have to agree but we need to learn to agree to disagree.  We all need reminding at different times of our life.  We just need to remember that if we were all the same, we truly would be a dull lot, right?  I used to look forward to your entertaining posts and you're absolutely right, things have become rather dull since you stopped.

A word of sympathy to Jim Priscos on his father's passing.  I envy Jim that he got to keep his Dad this many years.

Mary Benson (Bendixen)

Brent, I just heard about your beautiful daughter. My heart is broken for you and Bonnie. She was taken too early. I loved your sweet mom. She was kind to everyone and It sounds like Lizzie had some of her traits. God bless you and Lizzie's family and may the wonderful memories of her lift you up in times of sadness. Love, Mary

Oh boy . . .  here we go again with the political bruhaha.  

Do we really have to go there??  C'mon folks, let it lie!!

A moment to invite you to join in one of America's most widely celebrated holladays, the Cinco de Mayo.  It is more widely celebrated here than in Mexico mostly because of Mother's Day I believe.  

My family never lived in what is now Mexico but we enjoy the music, dancing and most notedly the food!

As a Board Member of the Local Centro Civico Mexicano I will be celebrating with family & friends Friday night. This is a milestone year for us as we are breaking ground soon on a senior housing project on our campus, and of course we don't discriminate against anyone needing a home as long as they pass the senior criteria.

This is an indication that we as citizens of the US can celebrate the diversity of our ancestors and share that celebration with everyone else.

PS  I agree with Jeff.  Lets leave the politics to the politicians and not to our classmates.

Gerd Eysser

Is our healthcare a political subject that we can discuss?  

Geertje(Nikki) De Zeeuw (Anton)

Just wanted to give Jeff Chivers a big THANK YOU!  Jeff helped me sign up for Medicare and explained all the different plans so I could find the right plan for me.  It was a nice experience.  He helped with filling out all the forms which in itself is so confusing.  Give him a call if you need help,  Thanks again Jeff.

Gerd Eysser

Yes, I would give Jeff a rating of 5 stars out of 5.  Knows his stuff and is ready, willing and able to help his Class of 70 classmates!

Jeff Chivers

Thanks, Nikki & Gerd for your kind words.  From a personal standpoint, it's been great getting re-acquainted with many of our classmates in the process of assisting with their transition to Medicare.

Gerd, in response to your earlier post about whether it is OK to discuss a subject such as healthcare on the site.

In the spirit for which I believe the site was created by Preston in the first place, it's my view a post on any subject is welcome so long as it is of general interest - not an attack or smear of a particular person, political party, religion etc. that may result in creating divisiveness among class members of diverse philosophical persuasions.   

I hope the site will remain a fun place of fond reflection and camaraderie; not a forum for politics. We get enough of that through the media.

Paul Michelsen

Chuck,

I just ate dinner with my wife and family for Cinco de Mayo

Things have tamed down a bit for me. It's not like it was when I lived and worked in LA. But, still good enough for me...

Hope you have a great party this weekend.

For those of you who know and remember Richard Green (for some reason he chose to leave this site), his wife has just passed away.  He just moved to St George this past week so that the two of them might enjoy better health, and his wife Jane passed away shortly after.  My prayers for his and his family's comfort.

Dale Charlie Salazar

So many mixed emotions.  If I remember right Richard chose to leave because of his failing health.  I believe he was one of the cops affected by the exposure to drug houses.  Many men in blue have contracted cancer with this exposure.  I feel worse hearing he moved with his wife to find comfort and lost her in the process.  

On the flip side we enjoyed our Cinco de Mayo.  Thank you Paul.  And, yesterday my first granddaughter celebrated her First Holy Communion.  I sitll hold my faith high and am reassured my children opted to raise their children in the Church.

Mike Hendriksen

Richard's wife Jane passed away in a traffic accident while they were on their way to St. George to begin their new life together. He is now back in Midvale with one of his sisters. The funeral will be Thursday morning at 11:00 preceeded by a visitation from 9:30 at 4505 South Brians Way (about 3430 West) in West Valley, at the ward where they lived for the past 34 years. See you there. Difficult changes aheard for Rick... I am sure that friends will be very welcome!

Mike Hendriksen

Brent, best wishes from me as well. We lost a grandchild several years ago. That was hard, losing a child I am sure would be much harder. Best from us!

Diane Angle (Welty)

Jerry thanks for the welcome to the message forum.....
