Michael A. Bordenkecher
March 19, 1970 - June 14, 2009

My dear cousin. We shared the same birthdate, I was just born 10 years before him. We spent many hours sitting on the window seat at our house on Oxford, St in Indy just talking. Gone way too soon, much too young. I'm going to miss him.
God be with Aunt Patty, Uncle Bill, Theresa, Tommy and James.

Casie Nicole McGoldrick
June 15, 2009 - present.

She's brand new. She's beautiful. A new life given for a cherished life passed.
Because she's so precious I'll be submitting a photo of me holding her, taken this afternoon at the hospital. I don't like my photos at all but Casie is just too sweet to not show off. I love this little girl.

When my nephew Lester died a little over a year ago my grandson River was born the next day. Life is just too confusing sometimes. To have to share a time of the greatest of joys with the greatest of sorrows...
only God understands.

Also, 2 weeks ago Mindy, Melody's twin sister, found out she was pregnant. Lots of babies. Prayfully no more lives in trade.

Yesterday Mindy had a miscarriage. She's so sad and upset about it.

Melody and Casie will be coming home between 3 and 4:00 p.m. and I'm anxious for that. Michaels viewing is today between 3 - 4:00 p.m. Indianapolis time (that will be noon here in CA). The one thing I've noticed more than any other as far as myself is concerned is that the one thing I wish first and consistantly when someone passes, is that I could spend just one more time talking with them. Again, I wish I could spend just one more of those afternoons at the window seat talking with Michael. He would mostly watch my kids, Rk and Alex play and act silly. He'd aske me questions about what they were doing and why. And questions about being a parent. Questions about California and what kinds of things I liked to do. Michael was full of questions. I hope I filled in the answers for him. I'm really going to miss his presence in this world.
