Happy 21st Birthday, Laura, on promotion and education. We are very
June 25! We love you.
proud of you!

Love, Dad, Mom, and Buddy
Dear Brent: We are all very proud of you and your accomplishments. I know
how hard you have worked to make your way through school. You told me once,
“It is always good to want something.’’ I guess you meant that you work harder.
You could help students entering higher education if you would share with
them your problems and how you overcame them. Living on Top Ramen, I think,
is usual for most higher ed students.
I can remember when we brought you home from the hospital. You
immediately blessed your Dad’s favorite blanket on the couch. Mom was changing
your diaper and she said, “He can do anything he wants.”
We have always tried to instill that thought into you, “You can do anything
you want.” If you work hard enough, you can accomplish your goals. I believe in
you and am proud to be your Mom. You are entering into a tough job market at
this time. Remember, hardships make us stronger.
We love you - Mom, Dad, Angela, Heather, Ashliegh, Cristian, all the Ben
family, Rilatos family, Nelsons family, Hibdon family, Stuart family, Brandt
family, Lynch family, and all the rest of our family
Happy 40th Birthday to Brett Lane

Happy 49th Birthday to Patrick
Pullam on June 3.
Love you lots, Tina
To a very special father - You are a
very special father because you have
been there every time that I needed you.
You were there when I was born, when
I broke my leg the first time and then
when I broke my arm on the big rock
on the beach, and when I graduated
from high school and then college, and
then for all my ups and downs.
You have been and still are the best
father that anyone could want and I'm
the luckiest son in the world because
you are my father. I love you. Happy
Father's Day.
Your son. Rick
I want to thank everyone who
supported me through treatment. I
appreciate every one of you, especially
my family. You guys have always been
there for me - thank you. And a big
thank you goes to Jennifer Knott - you
are the greatest. You came through for
me when I needed you the most and
that’s what friends are for. Thank you
for being my friend. I love you.

Happy Birthday to Malik and
Valentina Knott on June 26. Wow - you
guys are getting so big and I love you.
June 2002
Our dear daughter, sister, and beloved friend, Janice, lived for others. Isn’t
this the greatest of all? In the word of God, we are asked by the Lord Jesus to love
our neighbor as ourselves and do unto others as you would have them do unto
you. Janice had given her life back to Jesus more than one year ago, as did her
dear friend.
Janice was our first daughter. Her daddy was so proud of her and she was a
daddy’s girl. She also was Al and Maude Lane’s first granddaughter. She was so
special to us, immensely so, beyond words.
She was a mother and grandmother. Leon and Janice raised three children -
Jennifer, Jason, and Willie Metcalf - and loved them greatly. Leon taught them
sports, especially baseball, and they have become competitive, reliable with great
character, and they make us proud.
I'm sure they would desire the love and prayers of tribal members. Willie and
Chuvonne have a baby boy who was such a special blessing in her life. Jennifer
has seven beautiful babies we adore. God bless their precious lives, and Jason
and Brandi have two children and are very happy.
Thank you, her mother, Marty
