Sorry, but I had to print this out this morning (3-18). I am staying overnight in San Jose and picking up Renee early the next morning to drive to Merced together.

Please know that we are also tied together another way as well; a "thousand years ago" after I came back fron Viet-Nam, I was stationed at Castle AFB had gotten married(to my 1st wife) and lived in "Winton" & used to eat a lot at the A & W "burger doodle" in Atwater. We moved to Fresno in Feb 1965 and I know that I would NOT recognize those places now( heck its only been 44 years!!!!!!!!).
Tim, your loss will always be with you, but the pain will slowly ease, but the emptyness of her presence will be there with you
I swear to God, I truely wonder if there isn't really cures for cancer out there, but the bottom line being that there's just too damm much money to be made in the disease, cancer in all of its forms!!!!!!!!!!
Tim, my prayers are with you. Your wife is no longer in pain and she Willalways be with you. Lord knows as I write this my own memories are flooding thru me.

Take care & may "Himself & St. Patty" hold you in their arms and comfort & bless you.

It's crossed my mind as well, after watching my sister and a good friend over a few years. Anyway...

Rest in peace, Lady. Always loved your name because a friend/roommate/***** fan I had once always referred to them as the rammies, 'cuz he knew I disliked it.

Renee and I made it to the funeral service of our departed Clannie RammieGirl. It was a wonderful service with about 300 people in attendance. The ClanRam was mentioned in the eulogy, along with the fact that Denise was a die hard Rams fan, and the pastor was good natured in ribbing us since he is a whiner fan. RammieGirl's family and friends were wonderful in acknowledging us and making us feel welcome by introducing us to everyone. Below is a picture of Renee with a close friend of the family. (Sorry for picture quality. Taken with cell phone)

There were many flowers there. Ours are the second from the left.

They had a display of Ram stuff at the entrance that belonged to RammieGirl
which everyone enjoyed. I left the copy of this thread on the table as well. Renee
also had bought a painted Ram figurine.

looks like she got he last laugh, too.... who was the Ram's victim? >8)

Wow, that's touching. "Weeping may remain for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning." Sounds like this more of a rejoicing situation which fits.

Thank you Randy and Renee for being ambassadors for ClanRam and celebrating a life that even though one may have only met her once, you never forgot her smile.

Thanks for representing us, Randy & Renee. May she now have life eternal.

In Heaven, Denise has seats on the 50 yard line, its a perfect Fall afternoon, the GSOT is playing on offense, the '78 Rams is playing defense, and the team is beating the Niners 45-3 in the third quarter.

It was a very nice "celebration of life" service. I talked with Tim, and Denise's Dad, daughter and son. They were all very sweet and nice and I know they appreciated having us attend the service. They had a video display with pictures of Denise and songs and sayings that went through her life. She touched a lot of people and that big smile shows up in lots of pictures.

I found a little Ram in the Denver Airport during my layover and I picked it up. The artist is Jon Anderson. You can find his works at FIMOCREATIONS Home They are unique and interesting. The one that I got looked young and it reminded me of RammieGirl.

Thanks for going with me Randy and thanks for posting the pictures.

AvengerRam made a badge to use as an avatar or signature image to remember Denise with. AV announced it in a new thread he created, but I thought I would list it here in the original thread as well.

Hello All, This is Denise's daughter Shannon. My dad, brother, and I wanted to thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. My mom was literally a die hard Rams fan and she loved being apart of this board, her and my grandpa would always talk about the new posts and all of the members, she really felt connected with you guys. Randy and Renee it was a pleasure to meet you guys and thank you for coming to the services and the beautiful flowers, we know my mom really appreciated it. There was actually about 600 people who attended her services, my mom was well loved and known. Thank you again, we really appreciate it during this hard time.
