It is sad to hear of the passing of Don's brother Adam. For anyone that's interested the funeral will be held Saturday morning, Mar 8 at 11 AM. Visitation will be at St. Katherine Drexel Parish, Kaukauna Friday from 4-8 and Saturday morning from 9-11. Here is the link to the obituary.

Thanks for poating it Adam. I still can't believe he's gone, and I don't think it'll ever really sink in. The amount of support from all the local families has been overwhelming, and everyday more and more people call us up, stop by, and offer their thoughts and prayers.

Summer field work will never be the same without him on the haywagon to stack, or him up in the mow to help put it up.

I am espescially troubled that he won't be with us on what is supposed to be the happiest day of my life, when I finally say "I do" and prepare to spend the rest of what I hope to be a long and successful life, even though I won't ever be able to really enjoy life quite like my big brother did. Even as I type this I have to do it through teary eyes and with a sunken heart.

He should be back in the Fox Valley by midnight tonight, and his final resting place will be next to our grandmother, Laurine Shmidt, along with Grandpa (George) and Uncle Eugene who's life was cut short about 30 years ago.

Thanks to all who have given their thoughts and prayers.

Donovan from Wisconsin

Don - Just wanted to say that news of your brother went far and wide. There was a little side note about him in my local paper. I live in the Thumb area of Michigan.

It's been in the news from Alaska to California, New York and Florida. It's just one of those really odd stories so every news agency has picked it up and ran it in the papers and aired it on TV. The story was even in the USA Today.

In a way, I'm very glad that Favre retired, as then they quit calling us and we're no longer in the main spotlight.

Don, you're very welcome. I hope you are receiving all the support you and your family need at this trying time. We never expect things like this until it's too late, just remember all the good times you had together and know that he will be with you all as you complete your summer chores. He will be smiling down on you from heaven, knowing you're continuing on as he would want you to. I was in Appleton yesterday and drove by your parents place. I thought of stopping in, but there were quite a few cars in the yard. Again, you have my sympathy and best of luck in the future. These will be trying times but in the end it will get better. God Bless

Adam

People have been constantly stopping by, although it is tapering off today some. Yesterday we met with the priest and planned the mass, and the funeral home director also stopped by to pick up the clothes we wanted him in and to drop off a few things.

I've been spending lots of time at home lately as well, helping out in the barn. Luckily we've got a neighbor who no longer has his own cows that still helps others and milks for them, so he'll be milking for us tomorrow night and Sat. morning while we are at the service. He's also picking up my brother's snow route in case we get more snow, basically doubleing his route but he is extremely helpfull right now.
