Life is very hard for your family with you gone too, Becky. It is hard to lose one parent but when you lose both, life is hard to go on with. I think you prepared Mercedes, Jessica and Baby Mike for the day you would be leaving as they are having their own families to keep them going...as I always said when we lost my special daughter, Kristie...she gave us a gift before she left "Lil Louie". We will always cherish that as we would not have been able to go on without having a part of her left here for us to keep reminding us of her. Mercedes & Chad have a beautiful new baby girl and her and Chad are so proud of their girls. Chad does help Mercedes alot with the girls and that makes us proud. I hope you watch over them always. I know Mercedes is having a hard time. Jessica had a beautiful Mother's Day Poem in the paper for you...very touching....so we know she is having a hard time and is trying to be strong for Mercedes and Mike....It has been 5 yrs. since Kristie passed away and there isn't a day that goes by that she isn't on my mind.....I seen how hard it was for you when Mike passed away and even after 3 yrs. you were feeling the pain as if it was yesterday. I will continue to pray for your children and grandchildren and we will always be here for them if they need us. With much Love and Prayers always. Vickie

Hello auntie and uncle. I'm just sitting here at the college so I decided to write to you guys. Well to start things off, I miss you guys terribly. All the family tries to go to your house at least once a week just to all be together. I like that though when we go... because before we would never get together all the time. The only crusty part about it is that we only get together now that someone is gone. We should've been doing that from the start. But I guess we might as well live for it before it's too late again. Anyways, I wish you would come visit me in my dreams more often. I dreamt about you about.. 5 times or so.. but only one has meaning. I wish they all would make sense. Man, another thing... everyday when I would come back from the college I would always look at your office when I get to the stop sign by the PD.. to see if you were there I guess. But like maybe two weeks ago.. I looked there again.. to see if the red truck would be there.. but it wasn't.. I actually kind of felt stupid or something or doing that. I didn't even really realize it until I noticed it wasn't there... I was just really expecting it to be there I guess. Anyways, Mercedes is going to be having her baby soon!.. I'm excited for this one too... haha.. Kristyn is sooo funny. The other night when we were at your house, we would whistle and then tell her to whistle and she'd make her lips look like she was.. but she was just 'whooooooo'... haha.. it was funny. OH yeah, the other night we made bangs at the house too.. grandma made them.. they were delicious!.. haha.. i told her I couldn't do it better myself.. little does she know, I was joking! haha.. soo, about Baby Mike, he's going to be a daddy now... that was a complete shocker, but now I'm happy. I think we were all shocked at first.. haha. As for Jessica, she's taking care of everything around the house just perfectly. It looks like it's still yours because everything is where it always used to be. I swear everytime we go there she's always doing something to be cleaning it..!!.. haha.. the other day Big Mel came over... haha.. came and played with James. They were trying to bring cheese downstairs because we have a mouse down there I think.. and my mom wouldn't let them because she knew that they were going to put it on the trap or by it. Well yesterday I went down there and there was cheese on a trap.. haha.. so about everything else. It still seems like you're not gone... I was just thinking about that yesterday and it is like a big shock.. like you can't be gone or something. I miss you a lot too... it's like everything is going bad or something. I think Grandma is literally mad at the world. I don't know about grandpa, but he's kind of like me.. soft hearted and finds the littlest things tear jerking. haha.. sometimes it sucks to be like that.. it's also kind of funny though i guess. My mom misses you too.. she cries when we go to your house. I swear, we always listen to Sissy's Song.. everyime I'm with her we listen to it about 3-4 times in a row. That's fine with me though, because it reminds me of you. You should really come visit my mom. She sits outside before she goes to bed smoking and she says that she always wishes you would come see her during that time. But, how is it up there? Probably the most beautiful place you had ever seen! Even better being that your with Uncle Jesse and Uncle Mike now!.. at least I know you're not sad anymore. You always used to be so sad not being with uncle mike. But now you're with him!!! You're kids are sad though, I know that... I just can't possibly imagine what they are going through. I would think and think about how it would feel.. but I can't even imagine it. It has to be the most painful thing ever. I try not to argue with my parents anymore, because it's like.. here I am.. hollering and arguing with my parents, and I have my own first cousins, who don't even have parents anymore. They would cherish the fact if they could at least had one of you back... i don't know.. i guess it's selfish on my own behalf. But at least they know that all of us are always here for them.. no matter what. There isn't one of us that wouldn't bend over backwards for them if they needed something. I guess we were all just brought up in a good family like that. But, I suppose here, I better go.. I'm in a room with a bunch of people using the computer and I keep on wanting to cry or something, then I would like kind of weird crying in the Student Center, haha. But I miss you both, love you bunches!!!! Watch over allllll of us!!.. have fun up in heaven with the love of your lives... keep your babies out of harm too...give grandma and grandpa strength... i love you...

You're finally together once again. I thought about you on your birthday Becky and I knew that it must have been the best day ever for you. I know that everyone misses you dearly and it's so selfish for us to want to keep you here on earth, but you are in a better place and I pray that you are happy. Please watch over your children and grandchildren. Also protect your dad, mom, brothers and sisters. Give them reassurance that everything is ok and that you are happy. I am so happy that we got everything resloved before you left. I love you Becky and miss you very much. God Bless you and your family. Love Nicole

Good day sir! / Samantha Keplin (Neice)
Hello Uncle Mike! I know I haven't been on your sight for a LONG time, but I'm still thinking of you! Anyways, as you probably know... James and I went visited you just the other day! It was fun, haha... we just kind of hung out... walked around... popped a squat by you for a little while, that is until it started raining! But anyways, I miss you a whole lot, and I with things were how they used to be... I do have to admit though that things are getting better, they really really are.. well except for the other night when Mercedes was crying for you... she said that she is just starting to realize that you're not coming back, and that it's just starting to hit her... I think it has acutally hit her before but she just avoids it... but other than that... they're coming around, not how they all used to be.. but better than they were before... you must have gave them all sterngth somehow. But I want you to come and visit me again.. the other day we were talking to someone about how you have dreams about the deceased.. and when you dream about them, they're actually there with you, that is the only way they know how to visit you and get things across.. but yeah, I wish you would come and visit me again... the ones with you in there are the only ones that really make sense... but I better get now... but I miss you bunches and watch over your family and keep them going day by day... you've been doing it now for over two years and you're doing a good job.. give them hope and strength to move on with life and the courage to not be afraid. But I love you and fly high!!
hi dad, just sitting her missing you. I know that I havent been on your website alot lately but I still thing of you everyday and tell you that I love you everynight. There is so much that we didn't get to do together or say to eachother. I wish I could see your green eyes one more time or hear your voice tell me "beat it white bread" one more time. Iwish you would come and visit me but I guess you must have alot of catching up to do with grandma, papa, antie Laurie, and now uncle Vinny is up there too. just tell them all that I love them and miss them. But most of all I miss you, my Dad. You were the coolest. I love you and always will. Please watch over mom, my babies, sadie, baby Mike, Kristyn, and Waylon. Please help my grandma Rosie get better. Until I see you again, I love you soooo much. xoxo p.s. please watch over uncle Vinny and tell him I love him.

Uncle Mike, How are you doing today? I was just thinking about you and wishing you were here today with us all. I think about you practically everyday and just wish that everything was perfect again. I hope you are enjoying it up there... it is probably the most beautiful place that you hav ever seen. You probably see my Grandma and Grandpa Keplin up there... and my uncle Jesse... so give them all kisses and hugs for me... especially since I have never seen my uncle Jesse and my Papa Louis before... and tell my grandma not to be a stranger and to come visit me sometimes! But another thing... I know you are an angel... I know it.. and I know you are watching over your family and your new Granddaughter, Kristyn. She is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen. She was the prettiest baby since the first time I saw her. I know that your family misses you deeply and I know my auntie Becky can't wait for the day that you will see each other again. But give her strength and courage to move on with everyday in her life...and hope.. that she will see you again. Visit her... maybe its hard to do that.. I don't know.. but try... give her signs that it is not the end of the world....and that things will get better... and that you miss her just as much as she misses you. Watch over your kids and grand kids too....but i better get now.. and I PROMISE you before it gets cold I WILL go see you! Have a safe trip while you're cruising around up there.. haha...dont get any speeding tickets! But watch over us all.. and keep your family together...

I know how they feel~ / Shelby Keplin (Family Fren )
Hello.. I guess I have never new about your web site before until today.. This is kind of wierd to me to be writing to you on this. But I guess this makes me feel alot better to say the feelings I have too.. I know exactly how your family feels.. I have experienced too.. the only thing is that Vince wasnt even my Birth dad.. But he was MY dad! It still makes me sick thinking of how hard it is to lose someone you love so much and really how do you move on with your life? I know that I could never get over how much this man loved My mom Sharon, myself and my brother Dane. I never felt so loved in my life..once he was gone we were all so lost. To see my mom hurt was even worse.. I honestly dont know how anyone can over come losing a spouse and a son all in the same year. I guess what i am trying to say is that I know how your family hurts, feels, and wants you guys to come back! It been 14 years now since my dad left us too.. and not a day goes by that i dont think of him.. my brother waylon we were a family! But for my mom she is such a coragoes women how she started from rock bottom and brought us all back up!! She never gave up she had I and Dane.. now she has a new love in her life and i wouldnt trade anything in the world for him either I guess I was blessed with two great FATHERS! So to your family... everyone deals with things differently.. Remember that GOd loves you know matter how far you down.. and that these angels were sent to leave us for a better reason.. to protect and guide us when we are lost! Thanks for giving me this opportunity to write this to you..please dont allow to let your family give up! its hard yes i know but we can get through this.. Please Tell my DAD and my brother Waylon they have a new sheriff in town.. his name is Tucker Michaels he is 4 months now and is ruling the roost. He knows I love him and that we will meet again! Shelby Keplin Close
Uncle, Yesterday Mercedes had her baby. It was the greatest feeling ever! Just to know that Mercedes and Kristyn were all right going through all that trouble. It was really scary wondering why everything was taking so long! But it looks like you were watching over them reallllly good! I know that you see your first granddaughter, but to get to hold her uncle, it is the greatest feeling, she is so beautiful. Just looking at her while I am holding her just makes me happy. She is so small and just precious...just a little innocent baby! I thought I would tell you a little bit about her, but I know that you already know everything that is going on down here... you're probably watching her constanty. But I'll go visit you and the cemetary one of these days... before it gets too cold. I have been meaning to, but when I think of it I am already going some where! But I'm going to go now, so I will go visit you soon, and tomorrow when I see Kristyn I will give her three kisses on her left cheek for you... Love you and have a good night...
Tributes and Condolences
It is hard to lose one parent but when you lose both, life is hard to go on with. I think you prepared Mercedes
