Memory Monday: David Haddock
When David was very young, he loved playing with a kitchen set, so it was no shock that he took Culinary Arts in high school and planned to go to culinary school after he graduated. He loved learning about recipes from others, and he would regularly choose a cooking experience over other “fun” things. He got the chance to experience cooking with Chef Jose Andres and was excited to have been in the audience for an episode of Hell’s Kitchen.
Memory Monday: Ty Louis Campbell
Ty loved a show called Max and Ruby. He had DVDs with every single episode and they played all day every day. One day we received a random phone call from a representative for the Max and Ruby Live show that was coming to the area, and we were invited to a meet-and-greet backstage.
Memory Monday: Michael Gustafson
I couldn’t NOT share a post about Halloween, as Michael loved everything about it. The scary decorations, creating a unique costume, a night out in the neighborhood with buddies, and the CANDY! Oh, how he loved candy.
I Will Miss Him Big Much
I took my toddler to the emergency department after a sleepless night, insisting that perhaps he was suffering headaches. Wearing a bright yellow t-shirt that matched his curly blonde hair, cargo shorts and flip flops, Ty jumped and giggled his way into the sunny room at the local children’s hospital.

Light That Seeps Through a Broken Heart
Stories of Strength and Inspiration. They astounded me with their strength. The strength to rise above their grief and take action. Their unselfish desire to make it better for the next family and work towards the goal of there never being a next family.
