My Dear Sweet Friend Vicki...

Lyman, Vicki, and Ryan

We got very sad news yesterday that Vicki's son Ryan passed away while they were on a cruise through the Panama Canal. My heart is broken for Vicki and Lyman, and yet I also can't help but be happy for Ryan...he is now free of the pain and is reunited with his brothers Brad and Marc and also his Grandparents.
Ryan and Brad had Muscular Dystrophy.... Marc passed away a few days after he was born.
How much grief and pain can one family have? If you know Vicki, you know what an amazing selfless, loving, giving, woman she is. My son Ty always says "There is a special place for Vicki Kranwinkle in HEAVEN"..and I agree! She has devoted the last 27 years to her children. She has always been there for them! Helping them do everything as that horrible disease took all of their strength and ability to do just everyday basic things...She did all of this with such an amazing attitude. I have such admiration for her...and I hope she knows how much I love her and that she is my dear sweet friend!

Marc


Vicki and Lyman made sure that Brad and Ryan had full and happy Lives...they took them to so many different places and always made sure that they got to experience new things...like the cruise through the Panama Canal...and many other memorable vacations. Marc, Brad and Ryan are now on a different adventure...My prayers and thoughts are with Lyman and Vicki at this very difficult time!

My Father or Papa Daddy...

Wednesday January 14th my Dad will have surgery to repair his broken heart!...
My Dad is the best man in the whole world! I know some of you probably feel the same way about your own Father...but those of you that know my Dad, know what I am talking about!
He has always been an example of goodness to me! He is kind, gentle and loving and just a good good man! I respect him so much. I respect his choice to come to the United States and leave everything he had so that he could provide a better way of life for his family. I am proud of his choice to join the Church and to be such a good example to all of his children and to have such a strong Testimony. I love to hear my Father PRAY! He has such an amazing voice...(what with his cute English accent and all). It is hard for me to put into words just how much
I LOVE this man! I am a little worried about his health...he has always been so active! But he soon will be "89"... He told me the other day that he hates feeling so tired and lifeless, that this isn't the kind of life he wants! So I am asking you my FRIENDS and FAMILY to REMEMBER my Father in your PRAYERS...
