Norma Jeane,

How do I do this?

I hope it makes sense now...why I took so many pictures; you have to have 'Walked Through The Valley' to get it.














They say Blondes are "Either BADASS or MORE FUN" and you were absolutely both.

I can still hear you:

'I don't know how they do it at East but THIS is how real Duluth gals do things!'

'Who's up there? ...GREAT....Mark & Jules...."

'Take only the good, leave the rest'

'Stay close'

...all of it.

You fought the good fight down here....

I want to say "So I will leave you with this" but we both know you will never leave my mind...and that I will see you again.

So let me say the words they say at many Marine Funerals and that they will say at mine... you lived your life out loud and ON PURPOSE and so I think it's fitting for warriors:

"When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home. -Chief Tecumseh

I'm going to miss you down here.

My very own 'Passion Killer' if only for a moment. ;);)

...'Stay Close'... -M
