  And go where we are led,

  And a peacefilled brighter day.

• I'm so sorry for your loss. I got to know CJ a couple of years ago and I will never forget her! She fought a hard battle with her "cunning, baffling and powerful" disease because of her love for her family and wanted nothing more than to make a difference in the world. I hope she knows what a difference she made in mine! ~ Kerry Burns Philip (6/14/2011)
• I had not seen C.J. for many years, but i am sorry to hear of her passing. She remembered us at in recent years during the holidays. I will remember her as a happy person with a bright smile. It is sad that people are not cherished while they are with us. People do seem to get much more interested in others when they pass on. Sadly, this family is badly fragmented. Perhaps this event will make at least some of us realize just how precious life is. My prayers are with C.J. I hope now she is at peace. ~ Bryan Freeman New Market, Minnesota (6/14/2011)
• Dear Claude & Patricia: I am so sorry for your loss; no parent should have to bury his/her child. While I didn't know your daughter at all, I do know Claude from MHS (Class of '69) and Patricia from Schofield/Fosheim family ties. I pray you have many wonderful memories of Claudette and that those memories will help to heal over time. May God be especially close to you at this time, and always.
