This Thanksgiving

We were able to be at the Plateau to visit Troy and Handsome. There are always many emotions as we approach the Plateau, and this is the first in 41 years without my son in my life. Gary and I are so thankful for the support of our family and friends and so grateful that Lori will always be our daughter. Joining us for the day were my sister Karen and her husband Bob, our dear friends Jerry and Susie, Rod and Nicky. Together we climbed the Plateau, and even though Lori could not be with us, she was there in our hearts and thoughts. It was a crisp clear day and we enjoyed the beautiful view of Mt. Rushmore from afar, and the vast rolling plains.

We joined hands around the cross and shared the things that we admired, appreciated and loved about Troy, when he was young he made many trips up to the plateau either on a four wheeler, horse back, truck or hiking (what fun he had) he chose a unique and incredible resting place. We will be back to visit soon.

We miss and love you so much!! Gary and MAMA
