• Thursday-What'sUP November 30 - 10:33 pm

Once again we come to the end of a month too quickly, just as some of our loved ones and friends have come to their end too soon. We take time to honor their memories here today:

Aha! Good morning!

What a beautiful picture. God's handiwork can't be topped. Meanwhile, here in Indiana we are waiting a storm that is promising Chicago 8 to 16 inches of snow after a good week of mid 60's. Love the UP and would want to add to your memories list Nellie Toyra (waterworks location) and her twin brother Josiah Heighes.

In memory of Anne Bach who died November 15, 2004. Anne volunteered at Stillwater Gardens.
She is sadly missed by her family.

I remember my good friend Helga Hargreaves who went home last Saturday.

"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." 2 Timothy 4:7

In rememberance of my grandfather, Joseph Butala, who passed away Nov.1972 and uncle, Ralph Tressel, who passed away Nov. 1983.

In memory of my Brother Bruce Lutzenkirchen who passed away September 10, 2006. I miss him very much. He loved the UP and fishing. He's up in heaven fishing now.

What a great picture.

Remembering my grandfather, Peter Normand, who died in November of 1983. He was always so good to me.

For my "Papa", May you rest in peace until I can join you.

Thinking of our first child. Kristoffer was born on November 10, 1974 and passed away on November 11, 1974.

JH, That is so sad! My heart goes out to you and your wife.

Remembering my Dad with love. Richard (R.L) Johnson, 11/23/15 - 11/23/88.

In memory of my grandfathers, Mala and Tapio. And in memory of family friend, Ray Wiig

Deb, I am the wife, but thank you. My husband and I had 3 more children after that. But you never forget, especially this time of year.

Remembering my Grandma Katie today, who passed away in May 2003. Greatest woman I have ever known (next to my mom, of course!).

Remembering my friend Lynn D. She left this world too early. I miss her and wish I could just be with her just one more day.
I miss my dad too who passed in 1995.

Sorry JH, When you only have initials to go by, you're never sure of the sex. I'm happy you were able to go on and have more children, but you're right, you never forget. Again, you have my sympathies. My grandfather, too, died on November 11. But at least he got to live his life.

Remembering Warren Haas, husband for more than 50 years, of friend and felllow artist Annabell. What a wonderful memeorial service Tuesday with a crowd of so many friends and family. Peace be with you both.

For the Prophet by Kahlil Gibran:
Then Almitra spoke, saying, "We would ask now of Death."
And he said:
You would know the secret of death. But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life? The owl whose night-bound eyes are blind unto the day cannot unveil the mystery of light. If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life. For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one. In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond; And like seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring. Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity. Your fear of death is but the trembling of the shepherd when he stands before the king whose hand is to be laid upon him in honour. Is the shepherd not joyful beneath his trembling, that he shall wear the mark of the king? Yet is he not more mindful of his trembling? For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered? Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb. And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.

In loving memory of our mother Ruth E. (Laplander) Smith, originally of Woodside/Dollar Bay, who left us this past July 17 at age 89.
Also her beloved husband, our stepfather, Robert L. Smith who left us on this day November 30, 1999.
Now we miss them both very much!

A mighty wind blew night and day.
It stole the oak tree's leaves away.
Then snapped its boughs and pulled its bark unti the oak was tired and stark. But still the oak tree held its ground while other trees fell all around...
The weary wind gave up and spoke,
"How can you still be standing, Oak?"
The oak tree said, " I know that you can break each branch of mine in two, carry every leaf away, shake my linbs, and make me sway.
But I have roots stretched in the earth, growing stronger since my birth.
you'll never touch them, for you see, they are the deepest part of me.
Until today, I wasn't sure of just how much I could endure. But now I've found, with thanks to you.
I'm stronger than I ever knew.

(Dear family and friends, Especially now, dealing with the loss of a loved one, try to remember that you're stronger than any problem you encounter or any disappointment life will bring. Love, Lori)
