Quotes of Note

You're born a male but you have to CHOOSE to be a man" - Herm Edwards

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Unknown

"They err who think Santa Clause comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart." - Mrs. Paul M. Ell

"Thankfully, our true roots are in heritage and not things. I just need to keep reminding myself that things are only reminders of heritage." - Keetha Broyles, June 21, 2010

"Tears lubricate the soul." - from "Finding Buck McHenry"

"Somehow you must come to understand that God is love, that love is the proof of God, and forgiveness is the proof of love." - The Priest in "Levi's Will" by W. Dale Cramer

"The truth about a man is in what he does, not what he says." - W. Dale Cramer in "Levi's Will"

"Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." - G. K. Chesterton

Anonymous said...: Hi Keetha,
First, I want you to know that I have had you and your family on my mind and in my prayers a lot lately. Wish I could be there to see you all. I remember you talking about Uncle Dave and Aunt Kitty. Now, is the the prankster, Uncle Dave? If so, it's good to put a face with his name after all these years!
Please give my love to your family.
Take care,
Terry in NC; August 30, 2008 at 12:42 AM
Keetha Broyles said...: Yes Terry, this IS my prankster uncle. The Jeanny pictured in this Table Talk post is their other daughter. We, the entire extended Heavilin family, are basically in shock over Aunt Kitty. We just didn't see this coming and it is breaking our hearts.

Thanks for thinking of us.; August 30, 2008 at 5:31 AM
Kathy (Pearson) Troyer said...: The picture of the guys in white shirts brought back memories of our family at Paula's memorial service. Family moments are definitely priceless.

Korie looks so much like your sister!

Beautiful family!; August 30, 2008 at 6:37 AM
Keetha Broyles said...: Oh Kathy - - - it is really funny that you should say that!!!! Genes are a funny thing - - - offspring are such a mix of heredity. We've always thought Korie looked like Greg's sister, Jeany.; August 30, 2008 at 8:30 AM
Keri said...: Whoever Korie looks like...she literally took my breath away when I saw her that day...she is so beautiful!!!

It was so AWESOME to be able to see family and friends I haven't seen in years! Grandma's service was wonderful and I felt like she was with us all day.; August 30, 2008 at 3:05 PM
Keetha Broyles said...: Amen to everything you said, Keri.

Today the memorial in Wisconsin was really lovely too.

Cousin Doug D gave us all a HUGE scare though - - - he passed out just before the service started, and then again during the dinner. We had to send him by ambulance to the ER. We think it was an allergic reaction to something.; August 30, 2008 at 9:26 PM
Keri said...: Oh my goodness!! I hope he's ok! Keep me updated, please! Even if it's texts from Aunt Pam!; August 30, 2008 at 9:58 PM
Keetha Broyles said...: They released him from the hospital - - - he's going to stay overnight up here. If I hear any more I'll let you know.; August 30, 2008 at 10:26 PM
